It is highly debatable to understand whether it is entertainment, gambling or a mere sport. However, we would like to say IPL is all about Money, Cricket and Branding. IPL is similar to the Super Bowl in the US when weighed in terms of popularity and branding strategies. In its sixth season, IPL has come up with\u00a0<a title=\"new branding strategies\" href=\"http:\/\/www.metricfox.com\/services\" target=\"_self\">new branding strategies<\/a>\u00a0to create hype among the masses and retain its sheen. Here are two things marketers should perceive and implement from this 53 days sports fest.<\/p>\n<p>When we asked people about the best branding concepts of IPL6, here are few of the responses we got:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cthe new title song and the dance steps. Dil jumping japang jampak jampak\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cjumping japang Song\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u201cI guess the THEME SONG &#8211; Jumping japang&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cJumping Jepang Dance\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Check out the video here...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JOjOK9ujw-o\" target=\"_self\">Check out the video here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>So here we clearly have the top branding concept we should take note of\u2026\u00a0<em>\u2018Jumping Japang\u2019<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<p>It has become very common for sponsors to come up with branding strategies that too with mediums like videos and audios to get the audience to shake it up. Like \u2018Wakka Wakka\u2019 for FIFA World Cup, this IPL season, we \u2018Jumpin Japang\u2019. The IPL theme song has been choreographed by Farah Khan, one of the top choreographers in Bollywood. Even non-cricket lovers are going\u00a0<em>dil jumping japang\u00a0<\/em>listening to the song. It has been driving cricket lovers crazy and making them dance to the beat every time there\u2019s a boundary or a wicket in the field.<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Take away:<\/em><\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>Creating a brand is easy, but creating a brand image needs lot more effort. Video and audio are top media on the charts when it comes to viral marketing. So if you want to take your brand to the masses, you need to create a brand concept with which the masses can easily relate and apply in their daily lives. This does apply even to B2B companies. Be it B2B or B2C it is all about people to people. So, break the barricades of B2B and B2C and think about people to people marketing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metricfox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IPL-Branding-Strategy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-49\" alt=\"IPL Branding Strategy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metricfox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IPL-Branding-Strategy.jpg\" width=\"680\" height=\"151\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Cheer leaders:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The second thing any IPL lover\/follower loves is \u2018cheer leaders\u2019 at IPL, first being \u2018cricketers\u2019.

There are quite a few socialists who oppose the concept of cheer leaders as they consider them to seduce the crowd.
