The ad was shot over two days and spent three months in post production – which is kind of obvious when you watch it. Full of bright lights and lots of colours, it’s clear that the sport is targeting a younger demographic, as explained by Cricket Australia’s Mike McKenna in the press release:
“The new KFC T20 Big Bash League repositions cricket among the competitive environment of 3D movies, video games and music festivals – with all the excitement and entertainment crammed into a few hours.
“We understand cricket is competing against other non-sport entertainment for this target market’s attention, but also know that T20 resonates well with them. We’re confident the KFC T20 Big Bash League will provide the right mix.”
Judging from the reaction to the ad on the Big Bash website though, the attempt to lure in a younger audience with flashing lights and loud noises could come at the cost of alienating some of the older cricket fans…
Tell us, what do you think of the ad? Does it get you excited for the new competition?
