Celebrate Every Step with Bata and Kartik Aaryan this Festive Season
Brand Ambassador Kartik Aaryan shared his excitement for the campaign, “I‘m super excited to be a part of Bata’s ‘Celebrate Every Step’ campaign. As an actor, I have played many roles but this campaign inspired me to pause and celebrate the biggest role I have ever played – Me! This festive season is all about expressing yourself, standing out, and looking fabulous while youre at it. Time to step into the celebrations, both inside and out, with style!“
Udayan Chakravarty, National Creative Director, FCB India said, “The storytelling in the video takes the form of a dramatized mixed media biography instead of a conventional ad – leaning heavily into Kartik’s life, retrieving and drawing heavily from old photographs, archival footage and personal anecdotes. Through, Celebrate Every Step, we have tried to narrate Kartik’s story of grit that only Bata has the right to tell – having been there with Kartik, every step of his way.”
Joining Kartik in this journey, are the new-age icons who have carved their own unique path to success – the multi-talented force, Designer and Entrepreneur Masaba Gupta who has constantly challenged status quo and continues to reinvent herself through unseen paths. The campaign also celebrates Singer, songwriter and now actress and musician Lisa Mishra who made an indelible mark in popular culture, Urooj Ashfaq who took her comedy to a global platform, winning accolades and hearts of GenZ alike and Alaya F who shined bright even in unconventional roles, breaking stereotypes. By bringing them together, Bata India applauds those who break the glass ceiling and truly embody the spirit of ‘Make Your Way’, the brand’s global campaign for its 130th anniversary.
