The Brand Objective

The Indian Premier League, referred to as the IPL, is a special cricket tournament in India. It is a time when not only lovers of the sport but the entire country is hooked on watching matches and rooting for their favorite teams. Of course, brands go where the audience goes. They are quick to make their move during this season, and it is typical to see thousands of traditional and new-age brands vying for every Indian’s attention. American Tourister’s objective amid the IPL cricket craze was simple – maximizing brand awareness in a memorable way. The brand knew that hitting it out of the park required thinking out of the box.

The Solution

American Tourister played the field brilliantly with an interactive experience on the smart lock screen. The brand made this happen with BigTrunk Communications, Glance, and InMobi, delivering delight with live cricket updates and an engaging exploration without the need to unlock the phone. Let’s see what made this campaign a game-changer.

Game-changer #1: The live score API

American Tourister got one thing right – it gave IPL fans what they wanted by being present where they were. And which IPL fan will say no to a live score – all the more when they can get it with one simple click after waking up the phone? The brand thus leveraged a live score API integration opportunity on Glance, ensuring that it appeared before the audience with live scores during key cricket moments and stayed on top of their minds.

Game-changer #2: The spin of interactivity

American Tourister elevated the experience with interactivity – as it showcased the live score, it let the viewer explore its latest collection of bags in all color variants. This made it engaging and playful, instilling interest in the viewer’s mind.

Game-changer #3: The unique delivery

The delivery was perfect. With smart communication and a striking visual of the brand’s ambassador, cricketer Virat Kohli, instantly and naturally driving a connection to the IPL. The intelligent messaging was delivered in two steps: First, a full-screen takeover on the smart lock screen with the line, “Live score: See who’s #Breaking Boundaries”. The “See Score” button led to an interactive experience showing both the live score and the bags that are made for those who are “Born to cross boundaries”, inviting the viewer to check out the colors and explore more. These clever lines that combined cricket and travel, followed by the “Go Explore” call to action leading to the brand’s website, completed the delightful journey.
