Cricket World’s biggest event, ICC World Cup 2019 is set to enthral audiences around the world. In run up to the ten team competition in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14, ICC World Cup 2019 official global broadcaster Star Sports has launched the campaign to celebrate 45 days of cricket extravaganza.
To create buzz around the mega cricketing event, Star Sports unveiled the official world cup campaign #CricketKaCrown. The campaign portrays ICC CWC trophy as the ‘Crown of Cricket’, which every team going to England would have their eyes on. A total of 10 countries will participate and play each other in the round-robin format, having one dream in common, clinching one of the most coveted trophy of the sporting world. Capturing this sentiment as part of the campaign, the trophy is metamorphically referred to as the crown.
Conceptualized and created by Ogilvy & Mather, the campaign highlights all participating teams that are coming to England to win the crown – the World cup trophy and, the focus is on that one Indian fan – Vicky who starts the fun banter by humming ‘Crown Cricket Ka Madamji Hum Le Jaayenge’ in front of the crowd. The element of fun grows in the campaign when fans from other countries are revealed as guests who have descended in the gathering to claim their ownership on the World Cup.
Speaking on the campaign, Gautam Thakar, CEO Star Sports said, “The ICC Cricket World Cup is regarded as the most prestigious prize in World Cricket both, by players and viewers. Bringing the competitive element that every country holds during this tournament; the campaign showcases the very nucleus of the sport and how every team is going to England to get their hands on the Crown of Cricket. With more fan films in the pipeline, Star India is excited to bring the #CricketKaCrown theme alive and provide a spectacular TV viewing experience for fans across the country.”
Speaking on the campaign, Sukesh Nayak, CCO Ogilvy said, “This is the World Cup. It’s the crown of cricket. And the best in the world are coming to England to get it. Our big idea came from the thought of coming to England to get the crown. We took a fan perspective to this entire thing. The campaign will have multiple films and fully integrated execution. Radio, activation and digital will build the big idea of #CricketKaCrown.”
With a balanced team of bowlers, batsmen and all-rounders, the Indian team is going to England for the ICC CWC 2019 with a strong unit led by charismatic Virat Kohli.
