WeChat
decided to tap into the
need for constant contact
and the sense of empowerment
to it users in new and
engaging ways. To get
the message across WeChat
created a funny line of
communication. The TVC
which is released reflects
the observations of an
'urban villager' who is
called 'Jaat Guy' and
his beloved buffalo Katrina.
The Jaat Guy is one who wants to embrace the world and connect with new people, but he will do it on his own terms, and in his own inimitable style. He is a symbolic embodiment of many young Indians who live and breathe through their smartphones - very proud of their roots and, at the same time, open to all the opportunities that the hyper-connected world has to offer.
In the ad film Jaat Guy is seen driven by ingenuity and who gives cool tech advice in his own brand of English - heavy rural accent, quirky grammatical twists. |
