They took a three-pronged approach:

Comment on interesting moments in the match
Weave relationships and cricket
Leverage cricketing terms

From concept to creatives, it was all done by the internal social media team. They leveraged platforms, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook organically.

“Social smartness is about being relevant to the happenings of the day. When there’s a buzz, we look to ride the wave. IPL provided a good launchpad and was a perfect match for BharatMatrimony since both are about matches. Cricket lends itself very well to relationships,” said, Rajasekar KS, GM, Marketing at Matrimony.com.
