“The campaign is based on consumer insight and rides on a strong consumer motivation of ‘Seeking Excellence’ & ‘Self Belief’ which is epitomized by the confluence of two global brands- Tata Motors and Lionel Messi.

Messi’s huge fan following in India will boost Tata Motors

Messi is widely believed to be the best football player ever and has won four back to back to Ballon D'Or awards between 2009 and 2012. Recently, the Argentine helped his team to a historic treble winning season in which he scored a total of 58 goals in 57 appearances.

The Barcelona player also took his national team Argentina to the final of World Cup in 2014 and was awarded the best player of the tournament. Messi has a huge fan following in India, which will definitely benefit the company in their campaign.

Announcing the association, Mr. Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, said, “We are very excited to have Lionel Messi on board. He is talent galore with conviction & is an icon for today’s youth. Watching him play football is magical. His determination on the field is awe-inspiring.”
