Are you missing the Moment?

 

World Cup 201 – the official sponsor of the ICC World Cup was Coca Cola but it was PepsiCo India which has stolen the thunder.

It all started with an 87 year old Indian cricket fan Charulata Patel. She has become an internet sensation.

And Pepsi didn’t miss to capture this moment.

Pepsi acknowledged the Swag of this old lady and collaborated with her for a unique digital campaign which will pay tribute to the undying spirit of the Indian cricket fan.

This is known as Moment Marketing.

Today people are more enlightened and empowered than ever before. They are keen to know every single moment around them. And you must use this fact by delivering them the right information at the right time.
