Be “Dimaag Se Dhoni” says Dream11’s latest advertising campaign

Dream11, India’s Biggest Sports Game has launched an integrated campaign #DimaagSeDhoni featuring its Brand Ambassador, the iconic cricketer and former Indian cricket captainMahendra Singh Dhoni.

Dream11’s new advertising campaign draws parallels between MS Dhoni’s strategic planning abilities with qualities that are needed by every sports fan to play on Dream11. The #DimaagSeDhoni film shows how sports fans from diverse backgrounds playing on Dream11 use in-depth research, sports knowledge and skill just like MS Dhoni to choose their best team. The film employs a smart creative twist where users of Dream11 don a MS Dhoni mask to become the man himself! The concept is centred around passionate sports fans who use their sports knowledge and research skills to be a Champion on Dream11.

Campaign TVC: 

The advertising campaign is now live on TV across popular genres like news, entertainment, lifestyle, sports, movie channels etc. Fans can catch it live during the television broadcast of Vivo IPL 2018 on the Star TV network and Hotstar. It will also be featured on all social media channels of Dream11 – Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and will be further amplified during the much awaited 11th IPL season.

Being a cerebral game, playing on Dream11 requires a deep understanding of the sport and its players, and accordingly, users need to apply strategy through a data-driven approach to recruit their Dream Team. With its new marketing campaign, Dream11 aims to popularize fantasy sports and strengthen awareness amongst existing and potential users.

Commenting on the launch of #DimaagSeDhoni, Harsh Jain, CEO and Co-founder of Dream11 said, “We’re thrilled to launch our latest advertising campaign featuring the one and only MS Dhoni, as we move closer to the start of the 11th season of IPL.
