As part of the partnership, Acko will be the official insurance partner of the team. The Delhi Capitals team will be sporting the Acko logo on their helmets and caps.

Acko’s maiden innings with IPL sponsorship last season saw it registering a surge in awareness levels and transactions on its platform among a newer audience. The goal with this year’s collaboration with the Delhi Capitals team is to strengthen brand value and recall by engaging with a vast consumer base at the biggest cricketing league in the world. The brand logo on the team’s helmet is aligned with the overall brand narrative of ‘protection’ being a necessity. The association will be amplified with a 360-degree campaign across television, digital and social media platforms in the coming weeks.

To further drive consumer engagement Acko will be running a series of entertaining contests over a period of 5-6 weeks throughout the IPL season. Aimed at capturing the interest of the Delhi Capitals’ fans and making it a memorable experience for them, the contests will be held on the Delhi team’s game days. A fun lead film featuring popular members from the team will be used to announce the contests across television, digital and social media.

'Catch the Acko logo' is one such contest that will be held during the Delhi Capitals' first game of the season. Aimed at aiding brand discovery and engagement, the contest will be simple — all that one needs to do is count the number of Acko logos present in the stadium (on caps, helmets, perimeter boards, etc.) during the match and post it on Acko’s website. Prizes for winners will include team merchandise and a mega prize of a 30 minutes virtual meet-and-greet with DC players.

Ashish Mishra, Executive Vice-President, Marketing, Acko General Insurance, said, “We are excited to partner with the highly talented Delhi Capitals team. Our goal is to drive brand awareness and brand discovery among new customers pan India. IPL being the biggest and most popular sporting event in the country makes it an exceptional avenue for a branding exercise for a young brand.”

Dhiraj Malhotra, CEO, Delhi Capitals, said, “We are thrilled that Acko has come on board as a partner for us in the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Acko is a distinguished, young and upcoming brand and there is a strong alignment as both partners are constantly striving to scale new heights. We look forward to having a very successful association this season.”

Delhi Capitals is one of the eight founding teams that plays in the Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL). Co-owned by the JSW Group and the GMR Group, Delhi Capitals was established in 2008 as Delhi Daredevils before embracing a new avatar in December 2018. The team finished third in the 2019 edition of the tournament.
