2. Tata Docomo
They have very brilliantly, drawn their customers to their new boosted network which promises to be very fast.

Great way to get feedback about their network and at the same time they have created awareness among their fans.
3. Pepsi
Pepsi has connected their offline and online activity on social media. By setting up a Football machine, where people are given a chance to win a Pepsi 250ML can if they can re-create Messi’s moves. By sharing this activity on Facebook, is a great way to increase engagement.
4. BlueStone
This is my favourite example, and it definitely takes the whole cake away! In their Facebook post they have introduced a new product mainly for men who love football, football pendants. They even ran a contest, #PredictShareWin, where their audiences had to predict who would win the match that day, share that post on their network. Great way to increase engagement, awareness about the new product and even sales as it would make great gifting for men.
5. Flipkart
This leading E-commerce portal has very smartly linked their eStore in this tweet for; their customers who want to buy goodies related to football. Where they can easily navigate all the products through one section, without having to browse through various categories to find the product they want.

6. Mentos
With their post on Facebook, they have quizzed their fans to guess which direction the mentos will be kicked towards and lead to a goal. Such posts are conversation starters with your fans, and a perfect way to increase engagement on your social channels. Their Facebook page cover photo is just brilliant; with such simplicity they have promoted their mentos flavours at the same time kept up the world cup fever.
7. Oreo
I have said this before, and now going to repeat myself again Oreo is a super brand and is extremely creative. On their Facebook page, during one of the matches in half-time they shared an image with written text below asking their customers to celebrate with Oreo. Amazing way to increase engagement with eye-catching visual and at the same time even promoting their product so subtly!
8. Local Banya
They quizzed their fans on Facebook, to guess which angle the ball was kicked towards and the person who answered correctly 50 Banya points would be added to their account. Great way to increase engagement from their fans and at the same time definite purchase intent, because the person rewarded those points would shop more than the amount won. Clearly a win-win situation for both!
9. Nokia India
Nokia has created a contest on their Facebook page, where they are calling out all their fans to participate and they stand a chance to watch the match live in a pub from their respective cities – Delhi & Bangalore. This contest was announced on 24th June and the duration was lesser than 24 hours, but they have received great engagement in terms of likes, shares and comments. They have truly made a winning goal with this contest on their brand page!
10. Viber India
This football season the power to score a goal is in your hands, you’re wondering how? Viber partners with YUWA, an NGO that works for education and development of girls in Jharkhand through football. Through this campaign they have brought to light the need of these girls, and with doing so during the FIFA world cup 2014 is the perfect platform to increase awareness. At the same time it has even increased awareness of this App as their Video has received 300K+ views already, apart from the above view; fans are even being exposed to this advertisement on traditional media while watching their match.
