Where there’s a will, we are the way’, says DHL

DHL Express, the world’s leading international express services provider, has unveiled its campaign ‘DHL is the Way’, for this year’s Hero Indian Super League (ISL). This campaign marks the fourth year of partnership with ISL, the world’s fourth largest football league. The campaign highlights that aspirations can become reality, and how DHL traverses the globe to help these aspirations come true. It encapsulates the role DHL Express plays as an ‘Enabler of Global Trade’, and is aligned with ISL’s commitment for enabling the Indian talent to go global in the international football scene.

A television commercial has been developed as a part of the campaign, and is conceptualized by The Digital Street, A Social Street Group Company. It shows the endearing relationship between a father and his injured son. How the father goes out of his way to get a shoe autographed by a famous football player. And then he trusts DHL to carry it across continents to make a special delivery on the birthday of his injured son back in India. The commercial highlights how DHL does not only deliver shipments but also delivers joy, delight and most importantly hope.

The core message of the campaign– ‘Where there is a will, we are the way’ is targeted at DHL’s SME customer base. It illustrates how in the complex global business environment, DHL helps SMEs fulfil their dreams by connecting them to 220 countries with ease and opening many business opportunities. In addition to the TV commercial, this campaign will also leverage multiple avenues spanning print, radio, Out-of-Home, In-stadia football matches, Ambient and Digital mediums.
