Around 2010, after having established itself as a popular brand among the youth with its range of watches and eyewear, Fastrack has ventured further into the accessories space, launching its range of bags, wallets, belts and wristbands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea was to build on the core brand thought of ‘Move On’ and using the brand ambassadors \u2013 Virat Kohli and Genelia D\u2019Souza. Lowe was briefed to break the clutter of advertising to youth as well as the Fastrack clutter and keep it cheeky and flirtatious – as is the signature of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The going was not easy. Multiple scripts from Bangalore, which were all rejected by the Fastrack team. Then scripts were called in from other offices of Lowe Lintas. Most of which was again rejected. It was getting exasperating<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in small mercies, two scripts were selected by the exacting client. But there needed to be the third film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajesh Ramaswamy who was heading creative at Lowe Bangalore had gone on a holiday and when he came back he actually waded into this brewing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wrote a script for a film that the Fastrack team liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to the exasperated Lintas, there was some relief. But much to their consternation there was no unifying thought to all the films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In typical jugaad style, the teams were trying to figure a core thought bringing all the 3 films together. When suddenly Rajesh figured that it was possible to sequence the films. There was a story that came together when films were run one after the another in a particular sequence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First \u2013 AT, Secondly \u2013 Hickey and Thirdly – Airport<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Voila! \u2013 things made sense then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
