- Display Marketing: Star Sports
Cricket is not just a sport in India, it is a religion. And once every four years, when teams are prepping for the World Cup – the sentiments are at an all-time high. Cashing in on this sentiment during 2015’s World Cup was Star Sports with its Mauka Mauka ad. The video ad revolved around the anxiety and tension of a fan during a match between India and Pakistan. It captured the public emotion successfully with a little humour. The video ad became an instant hit – so much that it got a million organic views within 12 hours of being online, reviving an incredible amount of conversations and sentiments around the world cup theme.
The success of the first ad on YouTube encouraged Star Sports to run it as a TVC, and later into a series involving teams from South Africa and Bangladesh.
