How Puma Successfully Attracted Many Viewers Internaltionally
It was not easy for a small brand like puma to be able to make an impact in the world cup especially when it was competing with large brands such as Adidas who already had their presence felt, through the merchandise that was being used. Due to limited funds, it forced the brand to come up with a message that would act as an advertisement, i.e. love=football campaign where they expected it would be able to reach far and wide.
Through their innovativeness they were able to come up with a viral advertisement which they were not sure would take the spectators by storm. Through the two viral videos they were able to communicate a lot to the fans who came to view the football matches.
This strategy was opted by puma brand manager Mr. Brett Bellinger because he knew getting audience for this type of small brand would not be easy especially during the world cup period that’s why he saw the viral campaign would be the easiest way out to do things.
The response was overwhelming especially from the different social networks where the fans were able to post their comments once they were able to view the video on you tube. The video was designed in such a way that one of the helicopters flew right on top of the stadiums.
The helicopter flew in some of the stadiums and on one of the stadiums it was seen that different vehicles had been arranged to portray love=football message.
It was easy for the people in the social network to be able to determine which brand was being advertised by the use of love=football video even without it having the puma brand on it and by going on the comments of the bloggers it was easy to identify what type of brand was being advertised.
But this was not easy since FIFA has rule and regulations and the agency had to ensure that it does not flout the FIFA rules so that it does not end up paying extra costs such as the Adidas who paid two hundred and fifty million dollars so has to have their ball to be used on the pitch for the games.
Gloo the marketing agency for the puma brand had to ensure that they were able to capture the audience without incurring a lot of costs as they tried to compete with international brands such as Nike who has their merchandise already in use in the stadium.
