#PaltanSobatAarti

Puneri Paltan

Objective:

Engage with the fans during Ganesh Utsav during the lockdown

Story:

Ganesh Utsav is by far the biggest community festival of Maharashtra.

Puneri Paltan, a Kabaddi team, representing the city of Pune, Maharashtra in the Prokabaddi League celebrates the Ganesh Utsav with the entire team visiting Shri Kasba & DagduSheth Ganpati for blessings to the selective players visiting handpicked fans home for darshan.

However, with the COVID-19 led lockdown, the celebrations in 2020 were subdued. The brand had to be quick in their thinking and finding ways to execute a campaign without anyone stepping out of their home.

"Leveraging Social Media & Zoom to connect with the fans during Ganesh Utsav in COVID19 lockdown."

Approach:

In an attempt to turn the challenging situation into an opportunity to connect with the fans, we came up with the #PaltanSobatAarti Contest. It was a fun contest where every day from 17th August - 21st August, one question about Ganesh Utsav was posted and one lucky participant with the correct answer was selected as the winner everyday.

The winners got a chance to host the player for a virtual Ganesh Aarti at their homes. On a Zoom video call, the player interacted with the fan and his/her family followed by a virtual Ganesh Aarti. To add cherry to the cake, all the sessions were recorded and short videos were created and shared with the followers across the brand's social media platforms.
