6. STRATEGY &
EXECUTION
• John Abraham the brand ambassador of
sky bags finds a new world where all the
people walks in backward direction
• A woman is walking her dog backward,
a cyclist is riding backward, in fact there
is a movie poster of ‘Kill Bill’ starring
actress Uma Thurman’s back with her
Skybag backpack!
• John too walks into a store, buys his
own bag and walks out of the
store backward, while the voiceover
goes “Back is the new front”, and a
TV Commercial

Won Canon Digital Camera and Skybag speed

#MoveInStyle contest that asked users to share
their style quotient.
Social Media

8. RESULT
S • Right from bracing the community
with #BlankIsTheNewBlank to
getting them involved with the new
style idea of #BackIsTheNewFront
and #MoveInStyle with contests
and reverse selfies, the social
media communication has been
focused towards the consumers
and the young, urban, social-savvy
crowd.
• The response on social seems to
indicate that relevant contests and
product as prizes always works.

9. For a brand known for its stylish range
of travel bags, Skybags needed
something really quirky for
communicating its new range of
backpacks. The emphasis on “back is
the new front” does that for the TVCs
and adds that required recall value.
Also, the extension on social media to
communicate the new idea has been a
well laid out plan.
