    Edelweiss unveils ‪#‎iAmTeamIndia campaign to support Indian Olympic team

    By A Correspondent

     

    Edelweiss Group has launched a campaign to garner support for the Indian team going to Rio Olympics. Edelweiss launched a foot-tapping anthem inspiring people to support the Indian team and has also released an e-book which tells the Indian team to ‘Go fearless, entire India is with you’. This book was handed over to IOA chairman, N Ramachandran and IOA general secretary, Rajeev Mehta by Rashesh Shah, Chairman, Edelweiss Group at the official send-off held in Delhi earlier this month. The #iAmTeamIndia anthem was also released at this ceremony.

     

    Edelweiss was announced as the Principal Sponsor of the Indian Olympic team in April this year. In addition to the sponsorship, Edelweiss offered a life insurance cover of Rs 1 crore each to every athlete representing India at Rio Olympics. This insurance cover was provided by Edelweiss Tokio life insurance, the life insurance joint venture between Edelweiss Group and Tokio Marine Holdings of Japan.

     

    In keeping with its philosophy of offering need based solutions, Edelweiss has made this anthem keeping in mind the needs of athletes – protection and support. Edelweiss believes that while it has taken the first step towards protection with sponsorship and insurance cover, it is the support for the athletes that is needed the most. Through this anthem, Edelweiss is garnering the support for the Indian team, which is the largest Indian contingent ever to go for the Olympic Games.

     

    Conceptualized by Scarecrow communications, the anthem is catchy and fast paced and aims to build excitement about India’s medal hope at the Olympics this time. The vibrant video highlights that the team of over 120 athletes is backed by cheers and support of a nation that is over a billion strong. Edelweiss is using 360-degree communication, from Television to Digital, Print, Outdoor, Radio and Cinema to make the anthem popular and take it to the masses.

     

    The E-book was given to the Indian team to convey the message that the entire country is standing behind them, cheering them as they go and participate in the largest sporting event. The E-book is a compilation of pictures collected from across the country through the fully integrated campaign which included print, outdoors, on-ground events, digital medium and internal events to invite people of India to come forward and support the team by sharing, liking, uploading pics holding the #iAmTeamIndia placard and till date has garnered over 3 lakh pictures and over 1.5 million interactions, shares and comments. The campaign also managed to garner support from current Olympians like Saina Nehwal, Tintu Luka, Saardar Singh, Gagan Narang, Abhinav Bindra, with past Olympians like Geet Sethi, Prakash Padukone with celebs like Shilpa Shetty, Madhavan, etc.

     

    “Through #iAmTeamIndia anthem and the E book, we at Edelweiss have taken our association with Indian Olympic team to the next level. The main objective is to attract the interest of as many people as possible towards Olympics. This campaign is a beautiful way to motivate and promote the Indian contingent at the Olympics. It will re-energise the spirits of not only the Indian team but also the Indian audience who is going to watch it. In fact, our hashtag #iAmTeamIndia was trending at No. 1 on Twitter. Through this anthem and E book, we really wish the Indian team well for Rio Olympics which starts from August 5 and pray that they bring as many gold and silver medals possible,” said Shabnam Panjwani, CMO, Edelweiss Group.

     

    Explaining the campaign further, Raghu Bhat, Founder Director, Scarecrow Communications said that, “Indian sport needs all the support it can get. Through this film, Edelweiss exhorts Indians to stand behind the national team. Our brief to the film maker (Naren Multani) and the music composers (Rohan & Vinayak) was to create a contemporary rendition of ‘veer ras’. The final result has scale, visual drama and emotion. Something we are proud of.”
