ICC invites breweries to partner with them for World Cup 2015
MUMBAI: The pitch is open for the brewing companies for the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup 2015. The Council is inviting brewing companies to submit proposals to become the Official Beer Partner of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand.
The brewery that gets the partnership can avail a lot of provisions — it will receive a raft of rights and benefits that will enable it to use valuable ICC intellectual property in association with its beer brand(s); it will also have the right to sell products containing the exclusive ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 event logo, and will also have the right and obligation to supply beer at all 14 venues of the event.
But to be on board to avail all this and more, the company should have a proven track record. The Council is seeking companies that have dealt in large scale sports sponsorship and marketing programs, the supply of beer at major sporting events, and a sound understanding of the Australian and New Zealand markets, as well as sufficient human and financial resources to leverage the promotional opportunity.
ICC General Manager – Commercial Campbell Jamieson said in a release: “Being the Official Beer Partner of ICC is a much bigger opportunity than just being an exclusive supplier of beer to the 49 matches of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. This will be an attractive marketing and business opportunity for any brewing company, and hopefully the seed of a longer term relationship with ICC. We expect to receive high quality proposals from brewing companies that will both leverage the marketing and media rights package to maximize association with this prestigious global sporting event, and to provide a great product to the spectators in the stands.”

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
