Sukesh Nayak, chief creative officer at Ogilvy India, commented, "Cadbury Dairy Milk has been using the IPL platform to highlight crucial aspects of the game that often go unnoticed. This year, it's about recognising the first coaches of cricket stars. We wanted to remind fans that behind every famous shot, there's a coach who helped develop it. Let's thank these unsung heroes for their contribution to the game."
Shekhar Banerjee, chief client officer & office head at Wavemaker India, said, "Cadbury Dairy Milk's campaign shines a light on the first coaches, the heroes behind our cricket legends. Through various touchpoints and partnerships, we aim to give these coaches the recognition they deserve. Stay tuned as we unveil this heartfelt tribute during the IPL season."
As part of the campaign, special jerseys will be designed for these mentors, featuring the names of their students from the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. Cadbury Dairy Milk has also introduced special packs to allow fans to join the #ThankYouFirstCoach movement, showing gratitude to their own mentors.
Additionally, as a way to say thank you, the brand is inviting the first coaches of every IPL player to join them in the family box during matches. Here, cricketers can publicly thank and acknowledge their coaches. This gesture honours the coaches for their important role in the players' journey. It's a way to celebrate these unsung heroes of cricket and promote a feeling of connection and gratitude within the sports community.
