    Sony Sports TV channels have featured at the top of the sports genre viewership for seven consecutive weeks thanks to the telecast of UEFA Euro 2020, Copa America 2021, the India tour of Sri Lanka, the Olympics and the ongoing India tour of England.

     

    Said Sandeep Mehrotra, Head, Ad-Sales, Network Channels, Sony Pictures Networks India: “Our efforts that resulted in unprecedented growth overall of marquee events such as UEFA EURO 2020 & Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 attracted non-traditional advertisers who seek the last mile reach. While all our events generated phenomenal interest amongst advertisers, we extended innovative solutions to ensure that the brands’ visibility is amplified especially during the Olympic Games where the broadcast is spread across the day and viewer interest is higher around events with Indian participation. Women’s cricket is also on the rise, and we already have brands on-boarded for the India Tour of Australia series starting in September and are in the process of closing more. The series is a significant milestone for Team India as they will be playing their first day & night test match with a pink ball and is sure to attract a lot of interest from cricket fans.  We are sure that this series will be looked upon as an opportunity by many female centric brands as well to deliver their communication and reach out to a large audience base which the women cricket has been attracting of late.”

    Adidas has unveiled the first in a series of short films as part of its new UEFA Euro 2020 campaign to inspire fans, players, and communities to look towards a more positive and inclusive world, celebrating that what makes people different, is what makes the game – and ourselves – stronger.

     

    Said Matt Davidson, Head of Global Brand Marketing, Adidas Football: “Since we started on the journey towards UEFA Euro, a lot has changed, but one thing that hasn’t has been the excitement for a major tournament. Perhaps the excitement for this tournament is even greater than normal, due to what the world has been through. UEFA Euro will show us once again what is possible when we come together and celebrate the power of sport – the thrills, the emotion, the respect. The UNIFORIA ball remains a symbol for how we can unite through sport and culture, but also celebrate what makes us different.”
