CampaignDescription
Branded Entertainment is in a very nascent space out here in the Indian market. The potential of course is pretty close to phenomenal with one of the largest mobile phone markets in the world. And the advent of the cheap smart phone has connected everyone in a way like never before. We can talk to potential athletes and current athletes on a one on one basis and the interaction works both ways so we should be generating a lot of authentic content and conversations online from this campaign.
This campaign is driven by co-creation through social media. We can't expect great crowd sourced video content due to the lack of video cameras and the complexity of uploading video content from small town and rural India. The mechanics were extremely simple by design. All you needed to do is inbox a cricket playing picture to nikecricket.in on Facebook or tweet the picture with #justdoit.
Effectiveness
