Harmanpreet Kaur becomes PUMA brand ambassador
In a major step towards its commitment to back women in the sports ecosystem, sports brand PUMA India announced Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur as its latest brand ambassador on January 30, 2023. Harmanpreet was on-boarded over a very unique and intriguing social experiment that uncovered the country’s overall mindset towards gender perception in sports. PUMA posted a cryptic teaser video of a player taking position at the stumps and quizzed the audience to guess PUMA’s next brand ambassador, on January 28, 2023. PUMA tracked comments of consumers on Instagram and Twitter, native shopping platform Puma.com and retail stores. PUMA then followed it up with a video that revealed Harmanpreet as its new brand ambassador, thereby breaking moulds, busting archetypes and creating a strong culture for women in cricket and overall sport. As part of the partnership terms, Harmanpreet will endorse the brand’s footwear, apparel and accessories through multiple activities and campaigns throughout the year. With this, Harmanpreet Kaur joins PUMA’s illustrious roster, which consists of some of the greatest names from the world of sports, including batting legend Virat Kohli, champion sprinter Usain Bolt, football stars Neymar Jr and Sunil Chhetri, celebrated boxer MC Mary Kom, cricketer Harleen Deol and Para-Shooter Avani Lekhara. The sports fraternity, especially PUMA’s ambassadors, came in full support of Harmanpreet’s grand entry and welcomed her with special messages on social media.
