| Brief |
|
India were the defending champions for Cricket World Cup 2015. A clear objective for adidas was to start conversations on social around the sentiment and eventually convert this into a mass movement in the country, with the brand providing the catalyst to spark these conversations. What was also equally important is that this activation needed to resonate with and drive the team towards victory. |

India is passionate about cricket. The sport is believed to be a religion. Also culturally symbolic is the way Indians touch the ground as a prayer offering before performing a daunting task. adidas brought the two aspects together with Sacred Ground. A social media idea asking fans to send in pictures of themselves touching the ground, as a way to support and cheer for the team. |
