Eicher Cricket MahasangramOn ground/Event MarketingEicher Tractors Ltd.

2Background

► Rapid industrialization and infrastructure development has led to an up to 70% upsurge in non farm use of tractors, opening new frontiers of growth

► Despite being a 50yr old brand with wide range of tractors across various HP ranges, suiting various purposes, Eicher is still perceived as an entry point player

► It wanted to position itself as an all-rounder to a vast & varied target group

3Target Group

► Farmers

► Other users of tractors using it for haulage - brick manufacturers, miners/blasters, loaders, water suppliers etc.

4Objective

► Engage a varied group of target audience around a wide portfolio of (Eicher) tractors

► Create awareness to change ‘entry level player’ perception and position it as an all rounder

5Challenge

► Talk to a vast and varied target group (farm & non farm users), who look for different features

► Intercept this varied group on a common plank

► Bring entire brand offering under a single umbrella theme

6Thought

► Cricket team also has 11 players; all with different strengths who put together form a formidable team
