Each new leg of the campaign is eagerly awaited and enjoyed by the consumers and is heavily shared and circulated by the brand loyalists. This is testimony to the love and trust this brand enjoys amongst audiences.The two latest ads showcase how men are possessive about certain belongings such as bikes and shoes and how they love them with all their heart and are willing to do anything and everything to shield these possessions.
The first ad features a young man who is cleaning his bike before going to work, he sees a car coming towards him, on seeing a puddle of mud on the road he anticipates the car to splash it on his bike. He quickly stands in front of the bike and takes the mud on himself so that his bike does not get dirty. The ad showcases exactly what men do to protect the things they love. The second ad features two young men walking together where one of them realizes while speaking to his wife on the phone, that his shoe lace is open. He hands over the phone to his friend who pretends to be him and speaks to his wife while he ties the lace and gets back on the call, without his wife getting to know.
