The changing landscape of cricket in India
 The changing landscape has changed the commercial landscape of cricket also
 3 formats of game
 Multiple types of events – IPL, CL and International games
 Multiple vehicles for on-screen presence
 Many teams available as platforms for continuous relationship
 This changing landscape has provided marketers with many opportunities for using cricket as a
platform for marketing activities  there are 2 key dimensions of these opportunities
Wide audience - to get brand
reach for brand reinforcement /
reach promos to TG

Associations with teams / events
etc – to get imagery rub off for the
brand
Apart from international cricket, IPL & CL are
the key events which have a large audience
 IPL is working like a rage – with a very high committed viewership
 Global competition at home – working subliminally to provide high sense of pride
 Higher order competition, coming together of legends and new comers  Some sense
of pride that India is hosting a mix of legends as part of local teams
 Low involvement of emotions (national pride not involved) – it is just for love of ‘game’, all
the fun, while loss does hurt self esteem
 It is not India playing against another competitor where ‘losing’ is seen as a national
shame / lack of national pride; while regional pride is associated – its not as strong
 The X Factor: Money & Glamour – Mix of Bollywood, Corporate India & Cricket. Kick of
gambling entering the function because of high moneys involved
 ‘Money’ & ‘glamour’ attracts attention - unknown players also get overnight ‘celebrity’
status
 CL – has seen a gradual climb in engagement
 While there is improvement over 2009, there is still lack of familiarity with the event,
specifically with respect to Non IPL teams & Players
 “Since we don’t know the teams we don’t feel interest to watch that. There are so many
unfamiliar teams”
 Amitabh Bachhan emerged as a strong icon for CL 2010
 Quality of cricket in CL is appreciated, and this will clearly work in its favour in the long run
 “This time (2010) the quality of cricket was better than the previous CL”

Using associations for image rub-off
Teams of IPL are evolving as brand entities - therefore association with these
teams (as brands) leads to rub off of their values and celebrities to the
sponsoring brands
