Sameer Saxena, chief content officer and head, TVF Originals, says in a media statement, "Today brands use various marketing tactics to connect with consumers, branded content being one of them. At TVF, we strongly believe that branded content should be organic and seamless and the focus should be on making viewers internalise the values the brand is trying to present through the content. And that's exactly what TVF is a pro at! We are extremely delighted to collaborate with Unacademy on a show like 'Kota Factory' which is the first Black and White web-series in India, reinforcing TVF's status as a disrupter in the world of digital content. The show falls perfectly in line with our promise to deliver quality content to our viewers while helping brands craft winning, branded content."
