Let
Ad Pick tell you all a story:
A
boy is sitting on some stairs, when a girl walks
down and sits next to him. The boy is wearing
Fastrack sunglasses. The girl is wearing a Fastrack
watch. The boy gives a card to the girl. The girl
gives a card to the boy. The boy gives a bunch
of cards and letters to the girl. The girl returns
a bunch of the same.
The
girl then pulls out a heart shaped gift and hands
it to him, and he returns a similar token. They
get up and begin to walk down the staircase as
she removes her watch and hands it to the guy.
The guy gives her his sunglasses. The girl seems
to think for a second and says "Umm
I
think there was one more."
Boy
smiles, checks his pockets, and removes a picture
from his back pocket and gives it to the girl.
We see it is a photo of them together. The girl
holds it, and then tears it down the middle. She
hands him back his half, and keeps her own.
Both
of them turn and walk away in opposite directions.
Ok!!!
This is no story at all. This is the new Fastrack
TVC, coming from the house of Madison.
Review:
Well, Madison's new TVC on Fastrack is a direct
hit on its target audience
.the modern youth.
Every frame of the TVC lives up to its punch line
mightily
.move on.
If
you are a DEVDAS in today's world, the
contemporary youth's dictionary has only one synonym
for you
LOOSER.
"You've
gotta move on guys, not brood over some stupid
heartbreak!" is the statement that comes
from the YO bunch.
When
a TVC is made, it's necessary that the characters
possess some coherent properties of the product.
The two youngsters in the TVC are cool, trendy,
fashionable and young
possessing the exact
qualities that position Fastrack as a product
for the nex-gen shoppers.
Also,
the easiest way to reach out to the viewers is
humour. The TVC has a tinge of humour in it, maybe
along with a pinch of sarcasm. And this sarcastic
humour is what enthralls the viewers completely.
Well
Ad Pick is enthralled too. Bravo!!!.
