The opportunity

Over the past few years, promoting investor education has been a key focus area for the Association of Mutual Funds in India (@MFSahiHai). To further promote proper understanding of mutual funds, the brand wanted to raise awareness and drive positive financial habits through its #MutualFundsSahiHai campaign.

However, to ensure that its message resonated with more people, AMFI India turned to Twitter and Cricket — a beloved conversation starter in India. Through an innovative brand strategy, the brand attempted to enhance the audience’s knowledge around the benefits of investing in mutual funds.

The strategy

It’s no surprise that Indians love cricket, and almost 78% of people on Twitter in India are cricket enthusiasts. Drawing on this insight, AMFI India aligned itself with two of the biggest cricket tournaments in 2021 — the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the ICC T20 World Cup. Through Twitter’s extensive ad products, @MFSahiHai successfully built hype by associating with iconic cricketers as brand ambassadors and disseminating assets that featured them.
