Delhi Capitals goes 'Vocal for Local'

Acko General Insurance's stint as associate IPL sponsors last season was a huge success. There was a surge in brand awareness and increase in levels of transactions with a new audience. The company will look to ride the IPL wave once again this year to further strengthen their brand value by engaging with the vast consumer base the IPL provides.

Dhiraj Malhotra, CEO of the Delhi Capitals, said that the DC were “thrilled" to have Acko as a partner for the IPL 2020. He added that Acko, being a young and upcoming brand, strongly aligned with the team's own identity. Acko and DC have announced that they will amplify their association through a campaign across television, digital and social media platforms in the coming weeks. Acko will be running a series of fun contests on DC game days to engage customers and enhance brand recognition.

One of the many planned contests will be the 'Catch the Acko logo'. To be held on the Delhi Capitals' first game against KXIP, the objective of the game will be for the viewers to count the number of Acko logos present at the stadium, including players' kits, boundary ropes, perimeter boards etc, and post it on Acko’s website. Prizes for the winners will include team merchandise and a mega prize of a 30-minute virtual meet and greet with DC players.
