Lowe Lintas creates Fastrack’s new ad campaign
MUMBAI: Fastrack, the youth fashion brand, has launched a new ad campaign -“Blame Fastrack and Move On” that has been created by Lowe Lintas.
The objective of the campaign is to redirect the blame that the youth of today face from everyone around them. It is targeted to youth of 18-24 years of age.
Fastrack marketing head Simeran Bhasin said, “The TVC appeals to the youth of today who are aggressive and passionate and ultimately lead to a better brand connect. The Blame Fastrack campaign draws inspiration the youth of today and hopes to liberate them from the pre decided moral rules of the society.”
The company plans to roll out a total of three commercials. The subsequent two TVCs are for watches and sunglasses and will be launched in the coming months.
Talking about the brief that was given to the agency Lowe Lintas executive creative director Akash Das said, “The youth today are the most blamed lot for things that they do or don‘t. Constantly persecuted by parents, teachers, politicians, moral police, girlfriends, boyfriends, it‘s certainly a difficult age to be. Fastrack with its latest proposition offers to take the monkey of their back. Need an â€?excuse‘? Blame Fastrack. Move on.”
The TVCs use a high energy track by an American alternative rock band, Cake – Short Skirt/Long Jacket. “The track lends the TVC a high energy vibe and the lyrics help establish the image of the Fastrack girl,” Das said.
Blame Fastrack is being amplified on the digital media as well. “Social media is the best way to connect and interact with the youth. An extensive twitter and Facebook plan is being put in place to make Blame Fastrack a part of youth pop-culture,” Bhasin said.

Campus Activewear launches Zeenat Aman-led Women’s Day campaign
Icon fronts ‘You Go Girl’ extension celebrating choice and freedom in motion.
MUMBAI: This Women’s Day, Campus didn’t just drop a campaign, it dropped the rulebook and handed women the pen to rewrite their stride. Campus Activewear has unveiled a powerful new cinematic campaign starring cultural icon Zeenat Aman, extending its long-running ‘You Go Girl’ initiative. Titled around the theme of freedom to move on her own terms, the film transcends conventional markers of success wealth, fame or nostalgia and focuses on choice as the true driver of progress.
Through striking visuals, Zeenat rejects glitter, noise and imposed expectations, embracing unapologetic forward motion. Her journey becomes a metaphor for every woman evolving, leading and inspiring on her own path, free from permission or predefined roles.
Campus Activewear, chief innovation officer Prerna Agarwal said, “For us, empowering women goes far beyond a campaign or a single day of celebration. It begins with creating an environment where women feel confident, supported, and free to pursue their ambitions without hesitation. We focus on understanding their everyday movements and designing products that genuinely make day-to-day lives easier comfort through long days, reliability through changing roles, style that reflects individuality.”
Zeenat Aman added, “I have spent a lifetime being told what I should look like, what I should wear, and what I should represent. And for a lifetime, I have walked my own way regardless. That is not rebellion that is simply knowing who you are. When Campus approached me with this campaign, I said yes immediately, because the message is not about me. It is about every woman who has been handed a label and decided to wear it as a badge of honour instead. You go girl move your way.”
The campaign reinforces Campus’s belief that freedom is not granted, it is claimed. By featuring Zeenat Aman as both voice and symbol, the message gains deeper resonance: progress happens when women are heard, barriers are removed, and momentum is created for everyone around them.
In a world that still tries to set the pace for women, Campus and Zeenat aren’t asking for permission, they’re reminding every woman that the only approval needed to move forward is her own.
