Myntra’s outdoor apparel brand The Roadster Life has launched a new TV commercial. This film has been conceptualized, produced and shot by Brave New World Communications – a Bangalore based integrated communications agency, who had been tasked with carving out a niche The Roadster Life Co.
The film was released on Facebook & YouTube on the 27th of January and has been received positively so far. The video has been viewed more than 15 million times and shared more than 8100 times. The film went on air on February 5.
The goal was to appeal to a younger audience who value experiences and are tired of the usual tourist spots. The agency’s strategic approach was single-minded: to own roads as a brand platform by positioning them as the most diverse of destinations. The claim is subtly supported by the products’ deep-design interpretation of archetypal roads, from driveable coastlines and broken paths to desert trails and forest paths.
“The challenge was to make Roadster relevant in an increasingly crowded category,†said Joono Simon, CEO and Chief Creative Officer at Brave New World. “Roadster is a young brand and social media has a powerful part to play – it was important for the commercial to establish a context for sustainable two-way conversation. Creating a sense of scale was also vital – because the backdrop of the great outdoors is our real invitation. Once you accept it, Roadster has an enabling role to play in your life,†added Joono Simon.
The film is a tip of the hat to those who follow the road to pursue unusual passions. A non-linear narrative stitches together three unique instances: a free spirit collecting his own brand of experiences along rocky coastlines, a ranger on a tiger census making her own trail through the forest, and an intrepid duo braving a desert storm to deliver relief supplies.
