Ritesh Hingorani, AVP, E-Commerce, Spykar Lifestyle in an exclusive chat with MediaNes4U speaks on the association with the movie “83”, the marketing initiatives in the midst of the ongoing pandemic, and more…
We Indians are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie “83” What made you want to associate with this movie?
India as a nation loves Cricket, some say obsessed. This cricket frenzy got fuelled when our Indian lads led by the young & restless Captain KapilDev dared to do the inevitable, win the world cup for its people. That nostalgic moment is still etched in all Indian hearts to date. The emotional connection and young & restless spirit showed was the prime reason for the brand to be associated with the movie as its clothing license partners. We wanted the consumer to feel that same pride in our “83”collection.
The Broad idea is to build Brand 83, as a Fashion and Lifestyle brand, which is cricketing in expression by launching categories in Fashion and beyond. In a country, where billion people are crazy for cricket, Brand 83 will fill the void for a Cricketing based lifestyle Brand.
You talk about this movie strongly establishes an emotional connection with your TG can you elaborate on this?
The Brand 83 roots the cricketing emotion of India and signifies India’s World Cup glory that transformed Cricket from a sport into a religion. It’s is an expression of India’s cricketing passion. The Brand resonates confidence and reflects the following values i.e. Team Spirit, Triumph, Euphoria, and Self Belief & Determination. Brand 83 has two aesthetic tones: one that reflects heritage with subtle expression & the other is contemporary & sports lifestyle, which is colorful & relevant to the Millennial.
