Sports Marketing:Changing the Game
Nitin Singh*

By cleverly aligning itself with the sport and the cricketing hysteria, Coke had pulled off a marketing coup. Sports marketing is gaining momentum in India and globally. It refers to how companies leverage the emotional attachment of people to teams, sporting heroes and sports in general. Sports have become a marketing medium, and even companies seemingly unrelated to sports are jumping onto the bandwagon.There are many games and sports in the world. Certain sports are limited to the geographical boundaries of a country while some gradually spread their wings beyond the borders of a country and reach several other important parts of the world. Then there are certain games like cricket, hockey, football etc. which gain fame at international levels.Games and sports bring fame to the countries where they are played. The players associated with certain games make their countries’ name popular along with their individual names by their excellent and superb performance in the games and sports they participate.
