Chennai,
10 May 2019: Boost,
one of GSK’s leading brands in the Health Food Drinks category, honoured its
brand ambassador MS Dhoni by creating a massive & unique sand sculpture.
This was a tribute to Dhoni’s contribution to cricket and his long-standing
relationship with the brand. The sand sculpture was designed and inaugurated by
renowned sand artist Manas Sahoo at Elliot’s beach, Chennai.
MS Dhoni, who is also known as
‘Thala’, has always encouraged young players to play a bigger game, be it with
his leadership style or his inspiring attitude on the cricket ground. The sand
sculpture is a befitting tribute to such an inspiring sportsperson. Crowds
gathered around the venue in big numbers to join Boost in this tribute to their
hero.
As part of the activation,
kids also got an opportunity to try their hand at MS Dhoni’s signature
helicopter shot while playing cricket in the specially setup practice nets at
the venue. Dhoni has upheld the legacy of inspiring young sports enthusiasts and
this activation is a perfect example of bringing alive Boost’s promise of
inspiring and winning big.
Commenting on the event, Vikram Bahl, Area Marketing Lead, Nutrition
& Digestive Health, GSKCH Indian subcontinent, said,” Boost has always been synonymous with
stamina, energy and winning spirit. With this tribute, we wanted to celebrate
and honour MS Dhoni’s winning spirit and the energy that he brings to the game.
We are proud that a champion like him is part of our Boost fraternity who
perfectly embodies our brand’s persona and is an inspiration to millions.”
