  • Ogilvy India – South films for Hercules bicycles

    By Our Staff

    Ogilvy India-South has launched a campaign for Hercules. ‘Boys are Back’ is the new campaign created for Hercules bicycles.  The film shows a city in the wake of the return of the young mischief-makers.

    Said Nikhil Narayanan, Creative Director, Ogilvy India – South:  “We conceptualised this film by summoning the ‘inner boy’ in all of us and tweaking it to make it relatable to today’s generation. The task was fun and it will be evident in the film. Because let’s face it, given a choice, every one of us would love to relive our mischievous childhood adventures. And that’s what Hercules is all about.”

    Added Sushant Jena, Senior VP, TI Cycles of India: “Brand Hercules stands for challenging norms, taking up new adventures and living life to the fullest. Over the past few years, we have advocated that our customers “Ride the Storm” be it any difficulties and challenges the world throws at them or the fact that they are “Made for More”. The past year has been challenging for everyone, especially the youngsters who have been forced to stay inside and adapt to the new normal. “Boys are Back” is an ode to summers and riding their cycles, reminding them they have what it takes since the beginning. That, there has never been room for doubts in their capabilities.
