Brands and Agencies Gear Up for IPL Season at Star Sports Business Leaders Meet

In a market where consumers are bombarded with advertisements on a wide range of devices and platforms, television becomes a vital channel for businesses to gain a foothold in consumers’ minds and hold it there for extended periods of time. TV advertisements leave a 3X longer lasting impression on viewers’ thoughts than any other kind of media, according to a ThinkTV study. Cricket has traditionally been the most popular sport on television in terms of viewership and attention span.

According to a T-Vision survey, consumers give cricket 61% more attention when it comes to advertisements than any other TV genre. The Indian Premier League is a marquee event that has consistently demonstrated its capacity to introduce companies, establish market leadership, and attract new viewers with each new season. Star Sports recently welcomed a variety of SMB brands and media agencies in New Delhi as the 2024 season draws near.

Brands received extensive insight from the event regarding the cost-effectiveness of investments, the pricing flexibility of Star Sports advertising, and the unique influence of the Indian Premier League on TV on advertisers’ business KPIs. With little financial expenditure, brands have benefited greatly from the IPL on TV in terms of business KPIs. According to BARC, a single IPL match can potentially attract 100 million people. IPL’s cost-effectiveness on TV sets a standard for the industry, with advertisers obtaining excellent CPMs of 45 at the size it delivers. In addition, because of the lean-back, TV gets 10X more screen time than the smaller screen.
