Hey,
dont you think its just time to don a new look!!! Dont
you think its just time to reflect upon your reflection once again!!!
Dont
you think its just time to see a new you wink back, only hinting to churn out
those high voltage rock notes that were once so easily formulated when your younger
fingers hit the strings so hard!!!
Dont
you want to fly high like that pilot who flies so smooth across the ink blue sky!!!
Dont
you want to wear that long kings robe and rule the universe Alexander style,
holding the wooden sword that you once carved out from an almost rotten
bark when you were a child!!! Oh
come on!!! Its time to be born
born again. Its time to look at your new reflection
everyday; to allow the new you smile in a gleeful way.
Even Aamir
Khan suggests the same in his new Titan TVC. Aamir
is always ready to explore and express a newer side of him and he asks you to
do the same. He wants you to drop by that unknown destination; he wants you to
make mistakes and not learn from someone elses. He wants you to live new
roles everyday
he wants you to be born everyday. After
all, you are not a definition that Google can throw up in a jiffy. You are also
not a term in Oxford Dictionarys word list.
Review:
Well this Titan ad, coming from the house of Ogilvy & Mather, certainly relives
Aamirs TZP philosophy
live life everyday; be born everyday
love
yourself everyday. Nowhere in this ad do we get to hear inscrutable jargon of
funky technicalities. Its about emotions and our basic desires and how Titan
is a part of every moment of yours when you want to look beyond yourself.
Through
this TVC, the company wanted to make the customers look at Titan as a brand with
a deeper connect in their life. It wanted to infuse the product with a new burst
of energy, energy that will take the brand and the category away from the traditional
dilemmas like modern v/s traditional. And surely Ogilvy & Mather has done
a fantastic job at reflecting that theme through this TVC.
It
not only has hit upon the busy and monotonous
lives of all individuals just right, but has also
infused the Titan range into the ad very intelligently
and impressively.
Of
course, Mr. Brand Ambassador and his natural attempt
at portraying the simplicity of the idea is definitely
an add on. There are no fire breathing stands
taken by Aamir in the ad. Its only simple talk,
so simple that at some point all viewers realize
how complicated ones life has become.
Three
cheers to all!!!
