  • John Abraham features in Aprilia RS457 ad campaign

    Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd, the ‘purveyor’ of Vespa and Aprilia, has unveiled the first instalment of a cinematic digital ad campaign featuring actor and brand ambassador John Abraham.

    The campaign comprises four-film series directed by Nigel Simpkiss. The campaign is conceptualised and executed by Centrick, a boutique creative agency.

    Sharing his views, Diego Graffi, Chairman and MD, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd said: “Aprilia has always been about pushing boundaries. This campaign is a bold statement of our intent to redefine the motorcycle ownership experience. This campaign, brought to life by John Abraham’s charisma, perfectly captures the spirit of Aprilia. We are confident that it will resonate with our target audience and strengthen our position in the market.”

    Added  Apoorva Saigal, AVP – Corporate Communication and 2W Marketing, Piaggio Vehicles: “We discovered a void in the market – While specs and performance are undeniably crucial, they alone do not ignite the passion that drives riders.  This campaign is a testament to our deep understanding of the modern rider. This campaign is about creating a movement, a community of riders who feel understood and celebrated. John Abraham, a passionate biker himself, brings an unparalleled authenticity to the campaign. His raw energy and connection with the Aprilia RS457 are palpable in every frame. We believe that Aprilia has the power to ignite a passion that goes beyond the ride itself. It’s about igniting emotions, not just showcasing features.”

    Continuing its global mission to change how people perceive and experience fitness, Reebok India announced the launch of its new, fully-integrated marketing campaign – “Live with Fire”. Featuring the fitness trio of MS Dhoni, Nargis Fakhri and John Abraham, the campaign encourages people to stay ‘fit for life’ through a series of cult activities.

     

    The “Live with Fire” campaign was globally rolled out in 2013 and highlights Reebok’s core pillars of Training, Running and Studio. Being customized to the Indian market, the new 360 degree campaign focuses on celebrating people whose lives have been transformed through their active lifestyle and aims at pushing them beyond their set goals.

     

    The TV commercial will be released across India on April 26, 2014. MS Dhoni takes the technologically advanced Reebok ZQuick running shoes for a spin amidst traffic on a busy road in the city and also undertakes the challenging and adventurous Spartan race while shooting for the campaign. John Abraham adds a wow factor to regular ab crunches by doing them while hanging from the edge of a building and Nargis Fakhri amazes viewers with her sassy and spunky Zumba moves atop a towering building.

     

    Somdeb Basu, Brand Director at Reebok India said, “At Reebok, our mission is to empower people to be ‘fit for life’, but we don’t want people to move for the sake of movement; we believe movement is the path to becoming physically, mentally and socially stronger. This philosophy translates well in our new brand mark logo – Reebok Delta. We are thrilled to present three of our strongest assets in a never-seen-before ‘avatar’ and are certain that their fitness moves will inspire people to embark on this new journey. Our creative visuals are interactive, inspirational and imaginative!”
