Par Pepsi ‘The Great Indian Catch’... Oh Yes Abhi!

 

Pepsi’s launches ‘The Great Indian Catch’, an innovative game to engage consumers online using Facebook check-ins for the first time

 

The top scorers get a chance to watch Pepsi IPL matches from the Pepsi VIP Box

 

New Delhi, May 14, 2013: This T20 season, Pepsi brought an unmatched experience to cricket fans in-stadia... it then enthralled them with Pepsi Tweet 20 on Twitter... now, it is time for the fans to be a part of a unique cricket experience on Facebook. Pepsi has launched a path-breaking new game called, ‘Pepsi IPL The Great Indian Catch’ that uses Facebook check-ins and Google Maps API, for the very first time in a social media campaign.

 

To play this exciting and engaging strategy game, fans simply have to login through Facebook, allocate their friends as fielders across any locations on the map of India, which acts as the batting pitch. As the batsmen hit boundaries, users can strategically position fielders in order to save runs or take wickets, thereby earning points. Revolving around the spirit of ‘Oh Yes Abhi!’, users can bring alive the Pepsi IPL T20 experience right on their computer screens. The top scorers on the leaderboard get access to the Pepsi VIP Box, which gives fans the best seat in the stadium.

 

Speaking about the latest innovation and Pepsi’s path-breaking digital activities, Homi Battiwalla, Senior Director – Marketing (Colas, Juices & Hydration), PepsiCo India, said, “Pepsi fans have enjoyed live cricket in-stadia, played it on Twitter and now we are taking forward our ‘Oh Yes Abhi’ philosophy to provide an action packed experience on Facebook!

Our previous campaigns have achieved a great response and we look forward to engaging with Pepsi fans with newer experiences as we go along.”

 

Designed by Digivaasi, a creative led digital agency, Pepsi IPL ‘The Great Indian Catch’ uses Facebook check-ins and Google Maps API to bring the excitement of cricket through map-pointing. The map of India is a pitch where batsmen are hitting shots, where each ball can be hit in any direction. The task is to ensure that these shots are stopped. A user can place fielders anywhere amongst 300+ cities, where each fielder has their own strengths and capabilities of being a catcher, a diver, a thrower, or a runner. Depending on where the ball hits each time, the user scores points for saving runs or taking wickets. The challenge is to place the fielders in strategic locations… Kyunki Catch Kahin Bhi Aa Sakta Hai! The game is open till May 16, where there will be six pools of two matches each during the contest period with a total of 12-matches. The top scorer of every pool will be eligible for the grand prize of watching Pepsi IPL matches from the exclusive Pepsi VIP Box.

 

Prabhat Bhatnagar, Chief Creative Officer, Digivaasi, also commented, “India, in the past few years, has seen its digital audience evolve exponentially. They now look for newer, more intelligent forms of engagement and we, at digiVaasi, try to exceed their expectations. To our advantage, Pepsi is very open to innovation and looks to establish a connect with its consumers. We conceptualized Pepsi Tweet20 last year, and looking at the response and the kind of excitement generated around it, we thought of creating something interesting and engaging for the cricket crazy audience on Facebook this time. The Great Indian Catch puts to test, a person’s knowledge and skill at the most important part of the game- Fielding. One’s judgment becomes his biggest virtue for the game, hence adding the extra dash of thrill. ”

MOUNTAIN DEW FUELS PEPSI IPL WITH ‘DEW OR DIE’

 

Campaign brings alive moments that matter… moments that turn tables and win matches!

 

Gives a chance to consumers to be a part of Mountain Dew Xtreme Tours abroad

 

New Delhi, May 10, 2013: There are moments in every Pepsi IPL match that change the outcome of the game and differentiate between victory and defeat- a sixer on the last ball, a diving catch on the crease, Super Overs and more. This Pepsi IPL, Mountain Dew is all set to invigorate the passion and nail biting excitement of these matches through its new campaign ‘Dew or Die’. Mountain Dew’s new campaign brings alive these moments through an innovative consumer engagement program, on-air as well as extensive on-line and in-stadia initiatives. The brand is also leveraging its partnership with three teams this season- Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils.

 

Celebrating the spirit of confronting fears to win, the ‘Dew or Die’ campaign builds on the cricketing excitement with a special segment on Set MAX’s ‘Extra Innings’ every day. As part of this integration, viewers are shown three ‘Dew or Die’ moments from the previous day’s matches, shortlisted by an expert panel. Viewers can then choose one moment that truly defines ‘Dew or Die’ and SMS DEW A, B or C to 9740707070. Fans, whose choice matches with the experts’ decision, stand to get a chance to be a part of Mountain Dew Xtreme Tours abroad.

 

The ‘Dew or Die’ campaign has also been launched through the brand’s social media channels and is getting a great response from consumers. During all matches, cricket fans can choose their ‘Dew or Die’ moments in real time and tweet to the Mountain Dew handle (@MountainDewIn) with the hash-tag, #DewOrDie to win match tickets and team merchandise.

 

To bring alive the winning spirit of Pepsi IPL, all three partner teams have created ‘Dew or Die’ victory chants that are being amplified in-stadia by their fans twice in every home game as well as through radio integrations. The inspiring campaign goes beyond just the match on the field and also plans to take the viewers into the team’s dressing rooms where these chants reverberate.

 

Ruchira Jaitly, Category Director- Flavours, PepsiCo India said, “This IPL season, Mountain Dew is celebrating the ‘Dew or Die’ passion of the players and the fans in a refreshing manner. With a short format, the T20 tournament is all about those defining moments of performance that change the fate of the game and elevate the viewer excitement to a new level. Our ‘Dew or Die’ campaign is all about these moments that differentiate between victory and defeat, segregate men from the boys.”

 

“Our campaign is all about consumer engagement including our TV integration that goes beyond traditional advertising. We are thrilled with the initial response to the ‘Dew or Die’ mantra on-line as well as in the stadiums, and look forward to extending it to other formats in equally engaging and innovative manner”, she added.

 

Mountain Dew had launched the first campaign of this season earlier this year that took the brand’s essence of ‘Darr ke Aage Jeet Hai’ to the level of crushing fear and taking a plunge to come out victorious. The ‘Dew or Die’ campaign takes forward the same philosophy and talks about fighting through all situations and taking the game away from the opposition.
