Kashmir Premier League (KPL)

Project: Social Media Marketing & Management for Season 2

Client Background:

In the dynamic landscape of sports, I took on the challenge of elevating the Kashmir Premier League’s (KPL) digital presence through an integrated social media marketing and management approach on Upwork. The objective was to establish KPL as a prominent cricket league, engage a wider audience, and attract sponsorships for its inaugural season.

Challenges:

Limited Online Presence: The KPL had minimal social media presence, making it challenging to generate awareness and excitement for the league.

Audience Engagement: The initial fan base was limited, and there was a need to engage cricket enthusiasts effectively to build a loyal following.

Brand Credibility: Establishing credibility in a competitive sports market, especially for a new league, posed a significant challenge.

Sponsorship Acquisition: Attracting sponsors was crucial for the league’s financial viability, necessitating a robust strategy to showcase its potential.
