The Brief

UMB Elegant Monarch Pageants, founded by Urmimala Boruah and Snigdha Baruah, is not just a beauty pageant — it is India's largest and most inclusive empowerment platform for women. With four distinct categories — Miss India (18–29), Ms. India (30+), Mrs. India (18–41), and Elite Mrs. India (42+) — UMB breaks every conventional pageant barrier, celebrating women of all shapes, sizes, colours, ages, and marital statuses.

Winners don't just get a crown. They get a world. UMB's exclusive Queen's Tour takes titleholders to Cannes, Paris, London, Milan, New York, and Times Fashion Weeks across India — placing Indian women on the biggest global stages in fashion and culture.

When UMB partnered with Marktini Media, the mandate was total:

  • Drive pan-India registrations across all four categories through precision performance marketing
  • Build a premium aspirational brand on social media worthy of its Bollywood associations and global ambitions
  • Generate sustained national press coverage cementing UMB as India's most credible empowerment pageant
  • Amplify the grand finale beyond the venue and into screens across the country

The Strategy

Full-Spectrum Digital Ownership

Marktini Media took complete A-to-Z digital management of UMB — not one service, but an entire integrated digital ecosystem firing on all cylinders simultaneously. Three core pillars drove everything:

01
Performance Marketing via Meta Ads

Precision-targeted campaigns engineered to reach women across every state in India — by age, marital status, location, aspiration, and interest. Four distinct audience segments built for four distinct categories. Every rupee of ad spend accountable to one metric: registered participants.

02
Social Media Management

A complete premium brand identity — from content strategy to daily execution — positioning UMB as a Bollywood-endorsed, nationally credible, globally ambitious pageant platform. Every post, reel, story, and campaign built community, drove aspiration, and generated organic registrations compounding season on season.

03
PR & Media Relations

A sustained, always-on PR strategy converting every event milestone — season launch, contestant announcements, grand finale, winner reveals, international appearances — into national news moments across India's top publications and television channels.

The Execution

Season 1 — Building the Foundation

Starting from a social media presence of just 4,000 followers, Marktini built UMB's digital brand from scratch. Meta Ads campaigns were deployed nationwide, leading with empowerment messaging and the aspiration of the Queen's Tour — Cannes, Paris, London, Milan, New York. Content that spoke directly to the woman who had always believed she deserved a platform like this.

Season 1 Results
  • 1,500+ Registrations from across India
  • ~25,000 Instagram Followers — End
  • National press coverage across all major Indian publications
  • Star-studded celebrity appearances establishing UMB's Bollywood credibility

Season 2 — Scaling the Movement

Season 1's data became Season 2's superpower. Meta Ads targeting was refined using real performance insights — sharper audiences, stronger creatives, lower cost per registration. Organic social content was elevated to drive reach beyond paid. The PR machine expanded to cover more publications, more stories, more moments. The results were transformational.

Season 2 Results
  • 3,500+ registrations — 133% growth over Season 1
  • ~32,000 YouTube Live views for the grand finale
  • Events across Delhi and Mumbai with 200+ guests per event
  • Expanded celebrity roster with national television coverage on Zee News and Aaj Tak
  • UMB Mrs India 2025 winner Sherry Singh went on to become India's first-ever Mrs Universe 2025 — a historic international achievement

The Ultimate Proof Point
India's First Mrs Universe 2025

Sherry Singh, crowned Mrs India 2025 by UMB Pageants, went on to become India's first-ever Mrs Universe 2025 winner. A woman discovered through UMB's platform — built, amplified, and nationally celebrated through Marktini's digital infrastructure — representing India and making history on the world stage.

This is what the 5,000+ registrations, the 57,000 live views, the 600+ press articles, and the 812% social growth were always building toward.

Key Findings & Outcomes

  1. 01

    Four-category inclusivity is UMB's biggest competitive advantage — and its biggest marketing asset.

    No other pageant in India serves Miss, Ms., Mrs., and Elite Mrs. simultaneously. Marktini's Meta Ads strategy built four distinct audience funnels for four distinct women — which is why registrations scaled from 1,500 to 3,500+ in one season.

  2. 02

    133% registration growth season-on-season proves the compound effect of sustained digital strategy.

    Season 1 was the foundation. Season 2 was accelerated. The targeting data, content learnings, and organic community built in Season 1 became the multiplier for Season 2's results. This is what long-term partnership looks like versus one-off campaign execution.

  3. 03

    812% social media growth transforms a pageant into a movement.

    Growing from 4,000 to 36,500 followers in two years means UMB now has a self-sustaining organic registration and awareness engine. Every post reaches tens of thousands of women who could be the next Sherry Singh.

  4. 04

    PR at 600+ articles creates credibility infrastructure that paid media cannot buy.

    When a woman in Jaipur or Hyderabad reads about UMB in Times of India, Zee News, or Aaj Tak, she doesn't just become aware — she trusts. Trust converts to registration. 600+ articles across two seasons built the national credibility that made 5,000+ pan-India registrations possible.

  5. 05

    Live streaming a grand finale turns a 200-person event into a national broadcast.

    57,000+ combined YouTube live views means UMB's grand finale wasn't just an event in Delhi or Mumbai — it was a broadcast reaching women across every state in India, each a potential future participant, sponsor, or brand partner.

  6. 06

    The Queen's Tour and international exposure create aspirational pull no ad can manufacture.

    When women see UMB queens at Cannes, Paris, London, Milan, and New York — and when a Mrs India winner becomes Mrs Universe — the registration value proposition sells itself. Marktini's job was to make sure every woman in India saw it.

What Made It Work

"UMB had a world-class mission and world-class women. Our job was to make sure the world knew it. We built the digital infrastructure, the media presence, and the social community that took a 4,000-follower Instagram page to India's most talked-about empowerment pageant — and helped crown India's first Mrs Universe."

— Marktini Media

The UMB engagement succeeded because Marktini operated as a true growth partner — not a vendor. Every season's strategy was built on the previous season's data. Every Meta ad rupee was accountable. Every press article served a larger brand narrative. Every social post was building toward a community and a legacy.
