Description
CHALLENGE : Celebrate the Cricket Crazy Youth of India, with a playing population that runs into many millions.
TIMING : T20 CRICKET WORLD CUP
IDEA : CRICKET CRAZY CO-CREATION
A campaign featuring user generated Cricket Crazy Content including videos, posts and tweets from Nike as well as Nike's athletes inviting cricket crazy youth to activate the campaign and show India and the world how they make every yard count by sending pictures of themselves playing the game wherever they are.
ONE ACTION IS WORTH A THOUSAND PICTURES :
The biggest content piece of this campaign was the nike cricket world cup film that ran on television on big match sunday, along with online media and mobile media, was composed from a Crowd Sourced image bank of 225001 frames of cricket crazy youth. The final split second action is threaded together using 1440 images capturing one action across a thousand playing fields.
Execution
ONLINE CO-CREATION: 2.5 million nikecricket followers were invited via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and nikecricket.in to send in their action images in any playing position. But each image was prefixed with a key frame posted online. The fast bowlers leap, the batsmans hook, the fielders dive and keepers stump. And thousands of action images, in these split second frames, were uploaded online by cricket crazy athletes across cities, towns and even some villages via mobile phone cameras, gopros, webcams and procams.
ON GROUND CO-CREATION: The same action sequence was also activated across several playgrounds by 108 travelling photographers across rural India.
Outcome
ONE JOURNEY IS WORTH A THOUSAND YARDS ON TV, MOBILE, SOCIAL & THE CRICKET CRAZY NETWORK.
CRICKET CRAZY CONTENT: 225001 STILL IMAGES WERE CROWD SOURCED ONLINE AND ONGROUND FROM 9 BIG CITIES, OVER 200 SMALL TOWNS AND VILLAGES ACROSS INDIA. IN THE FINAL CUT, 1440 seamless action images, captured by both Cricket Crazy Youth and the 108 photographers, were chosen and stitched together to complete one action of the journey of one ball from bowler to batsman to fielder to keeper.
VOTED INDIA'S BIGGEST EVER CROWD SOURCED CAMPAIGN THAT AVERAGED OVER 2.5 MILLION IMPRESSIONS DURING THE ONLINE CAMPAIGN PERIOD.
