Nokia India brings FC Barcelona to India
Unveils new brand campaign‘Tiki Taka with Nokia Lumia’around the association
New Delhi, October 22, 2012: Nokia India, today, announced its association with FC Barcelona at a high octane unveiling in New Delhi. This makes Nokia the first brand to join hands with FC Barcelona in India. The long term association is aimed at creating an engagement platform to bring Indian fans closer to football. Nokia India also unveiled its new brand campaign for this association, ‘Tiki Taka with Nokia Lumia’, to broaden consumer engagement around club football.
FC Barcelona is one of the most successful teams in the world, being the first team in history to win 6 titles in the same season. The association brings these two brands together in India that share a common belief of leading through values. Through this association, Nokia India and FC Barcelona will reach out to football enthusiasts through retail, on ground activation, television, digital and social media.
Speaking on the association, D. Shivakumar, SVP, Nokia India Middle East & Africa (IMEA) said, “It is a matter of great pride to be associated with FC Barcelona, which is one of the finest success stories in the world of sports today. This association is particularly special for us as Nokia and FCB share similar beliefs and values. Nokia has always believed in connecting the youth with their passions. Today, football is gaining significant traction and the youth is following club football with a lot of enthusiasm. We believe that this association will bring fans closer to football and FC Barcelona like never before.”
Commenting on the association with Nokia, Antoni Rossich, CEO, FC Barcelona said,
“We value our association with Nokia India very much and are very excited to be here, to engage with football enthusiasts across the country.
Asia is a very important region for us. In particular, we are really happy to be in India as football has emerged as the second most popular sport here. FC Barcelona is confident that this association with Nokia India will create an excellent platform for the Indian youth to engage with us, and bring the club closer to its Indian fans.”
‘Tiki Taka with Nokia Lumia’ is aimed at bringing football fans closer to their favourite club, FC Barcelona. The campaign is based on FC Barcelona’s famous style of play — ‘Tiki Taka’. However, more than the style of play, the campaign embodies the philosophy of Tiki Taka – sharing, connecting people, being spontaneous and social. The consumer campaign, unveiled jointly by Nokia India and FC Barcelona, will run for 6 months, enabling fans to constantly engage with the brands through a variety of touchpoints including digital, television, on ground activation and an exclusive mobile app on Nokia Lumia smartphones. The campaign will form a ‘dream team’ of 11 lucky consumers who will travel to Barcelona to meet the FC Barcelona players and watch the team play at the hallowed Camp Nou.
