Odisha Investment Growth by Gutenberg

Odisha’s ₹16.73 Lakh Crore Investment Leap: Powered by Gutenberg’s Integrated Marketing for IPICOL

CLIENT BACKGROUND

The Industrial Promotion & Investment Corporation of Odisha (IPICOL) is the state’s nodal agency for industrial promotion and investment facilitation. It plays a key role in supporting medium and large-scale industrial projects by offering financial guidance, policy support, and investor outreach. In line with the state’s ambitious “Utkarsh Odisha – Make in Odisha 2025” vision, IPICOL partnered with Gutenberg to position Odisha as a future-ready, high-potential industrial destination both in India and abroad.

GUTENBERG STRATEGY

Gutenberg built a three‑phase, 360° communications program—pre‑event, live‑event, and post‑event—that blended high‑impact media relations with platform‑specific digital storytelling. The plan aligned every press touch‑point, leadership interview, social narrative, and on‑ground logistic detail to a single rallying hashtag (#MakeItViksit). By synchronizing traditional PR with real‑time social amplification, Gutenberg ensured that every MoU, keynote, and sector story reached both boardrooms and social feeds worldwide.

Gutenberg solution: Structured a phased media calendar aligned with the event’s milestones. Engaged national and international media through curated outreach, MoU updates, and leadership interviews. Coordinated real-time coverage with 300+ journalists on ground and organized 40+ exclusive media interactions, resulting in over 3,000+ stories across major outlets including Financial Express, Outlook India, and Dainik Bhaskar.

Gutenberg solution: Built a content-first digital campaign around the unifying theme #MakeItViksit, tailored to LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, and Facebook. Developed visual-led content including live event reels, leader quotes, and MoU showcases to maintain interest and reach throughout the event cycle—pre-event, live event, and post-event. This approach generated over 1.94 million impressions and 25.5K+ engagements with 97.9% positive sentiment.

Gutenberg solution: Positioned the Chief Minister, Industry Minister, and senior bureaucrats as forward-looking champions of growth. Through exclusive interviews, op-eds, event panels, and public engagements, Gutenberg reinforced Odisha’s policy credibility and future-readiness, while aligning leadership messaging with the state’s sectoral ambitions in green energy, IT, MSMEs, food processing, and textiles.
