Said Added Naren Kaushik, Creative Director, Happy McGarry Bowen: “Summers stand for cold drinks, vacations, beaches and holidays. Summers also stand for heat, humidity, sweat, odour and discomfort. This dichotomy of summer is the genesis of the digital film ‘Expectation vs Reality’. He journeys through his day bearing the brunt of the heat when ideally; he would like to have it differently. The message we wanted to send home was that the summer we want and the one we get are quite different. At least, when it comes to men’s innerwear, Van Heusen now has it sorted with its Anti-Bacterial #Skinwear.”

    By A Correspondent

     

    Happy McGarry bowen has unveiled the latest film for Fastrack titled ‘Shut the fake up’. With this campaign, Fastrack challenges the norms and carves a pathway for millennials.

     

    Speaking on the new direction, Suparna Mitra, Chief Marketing Officer at Titan said: “Following our tradition of being in tune with the language of the youth, this campaign fits in, seamlessly. Fastrack has always spoken the language of the youth and this TVC is no exception. Set in a relevant background, the film represents many quintessential elements to today’s youngster; from a simple chat, to actually meeting the person. The TVC borrows from the archetypal ‘boy meets girl’ narrative and showcases two versions of your life – with and without Fastrack.”

     

    Added Ayushman Chiranewala, Head of Marketing, Fastrack: “Fastrack being a young brand has always been the candid voice for the millennial generation. The brand has always stayed true to being unapologetic and bold in its communication. The new ‘Shut the Fake Up’ campaign is testament to the brand’s longstanding philosophy of being true to yourself and breaking status quo. As part of the larger campaign, the brand looks to ignite amongst its audience the thought of living their lives on their own accord, and we at Fastrack celebrate this individuality.”

     

    Said Kartik Iyer, CEO Happy Mcgarry bowen: “The common thread we found was that the youth today are less and less afraid of baring themselves and showing who they truly are. We thought this was a great point of view for Fastrack to stand up and own.”
