Daily Thanthi — India's largest circulated Tamil daily — along with Dinamalar, Dinamani, and Dinakaran collectively deliver 3-4 lakh copies to households every morning, creating an unmatched print advertising ecosystem.

The Mediaverse delivers targeted newspaper inserts in Tamil and English across all 16 major Chennai zones, from Mylapore to OMR tech parks.

Jewellery & Gold
Gold chains in T Nagar and Mylapore use A4 glossy inserts timed to Akshaya Tritiya and Pongal festival campaigns, reaching lakhs of households through Daily Thanthi and The Hindu.

Healthcare
Hospital networks across Nungambakkam and Kilpauk use A5 inserts to promote health camps, specialist clinic openings, and preventive screening drives.
