What
We Do

We aim to forge meaningful collaborations between brands, sporting events, and personalities that go beyond mere visibility. Our focus is on creating impactful engagement by addressing marketing challenges through sponsorships, fostering enduring communities, delivering large-scale experiences, and driving innovation at scale. Through sports, we explore fresh avenues of storytelling that resonate deeply and inspire lasting connections.

From database to community

One way communication is a database. We know how to turn databases into real communities – that grow & interact with each other. By building community platforms and social media engagement opportunities, users feel a greater sense of belonging.

From visibility to sponsorship

While visibility is essential for a lasting association, sponsorship goes the extra mile and imprints itself in the minds of those who experience it. From ‘DLF Maximums’ to the ‘Volini Recovery Zone’ and ‘Airtel Network of Care’.

From events to experiences

When photos go into frames, medals go on a wall, and tickets into a box, you have succeeded in creating a memorable experience. At Emurge, we believe in the power of experiences and their ability to create lasting impressions on those who touch them.

From closing to closing

We help boost conversions and closing deals. In fact, closing the deal is just the beginning! Nurturing relationships, building trust, and delivering on commitments, are all principles that make Emurge a truly end to end sponsorship consultancy.

Innovations that shaped us

Some of the sports innovations from our past…

Airtel #NetworkOfCare

Bharti Airtel marks the completion of the 2019 edition of the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon with a big tech innovation that touched emotionally and impacted a lot of runners who ran ADHM that day. Airtel created a platform for people to upload their personalised video messages called #NetworkOfCare. During the event, large screens were placed at strategic locations. Using the runner’s RFID, personalised videos were displayed for the runners on the screen which were recorded by their loved ones to motivate them to finish strong and break their previous best timing. Runners were overwhelmed to see their parents, siblings and friends cheering for them on the digital screens. This helped the brand in connecting with the runners and their families.

Airtel #PassTheTorch

As part of the campaign, runners can pass on the digital flame to the next individual or group after making enough contribution though your runs. Corresponding to the number of kilometers accumulated by the runners, Airtel will empower underprivileged children in rural areas through digital literacy, which will include teaching them the use of computers and the Internet. Airtel has partnered with leading fitness mobile app Mobiefit for the campaign and the app that was re-branded as Airtel Mobiefit during the campaign period. Starting with the lighting up of digital torch at Airtel Headquarters in Gurgaon and with a 5km inaugural #PassTheTorch Run, the digital torch travelled across cities, states, circle offices of Airtel, individual, run groups, corporates, colleges etc. and thereby covered the length and breadth of the country.

Airtel #MatchTheFastest

Match The Fastest was an exciting tech innovation done by Airtel at the ADHM Expo 2017.In this activity, runners had to match the speed of Eliud Kipchoge, World Record holder in Marathon and Gold Medalist at Rio Olympics 2016. A treadmill was placed at the Airtel Expo Stall which was configured to the pace at which Eliud won the ADHM 2016. A one of its kind set up which pushed the envelope, reaching new heights of grandeur. More than 200 runners took the challenge and 9 made it up to the leaderboard. Literally these amateur runners matched up to the standards of fastest network in the country.

Asics Run the Spiral

Asics had a slight concern and faced a challenge in strengthening the market share in South of India whereas in North and West they are the number one shoe brand for running. Both in terms of Market Share and Brand recall. Also, thanks to the association with Tata Mumbai Marathon for over a decade. Down South they faced a stiff competition from Nike, Adidas and Decathlon as far as running is concerned. And also, overall brand recall combining all sports.

TMM ltd ed shoes

Celebrating the completion of its decade-long association with TATA Mumbai Marathon, ASICS launched the GEL-NIMBUS™ 22, a limited-edition long-distance running shoe at the event. Dedicated to the spirit of Mumbai, the name of the city is emblazoned on the shoes for an exclusive design patent with superior technology and enhanced fit, making it a true collector’s item! The numbers on the shoe design are the coordinates of Mumbai City.
