MUMBAI: Celebrating Valentine’s Day with a refreshing take, Skinn by Titan in collaboration with The Timeliners has released a new digital short film, It’s a date. Conceived by Ogilvy Bangalore the short is a heartwarming story of modern love – not limited to romance between couples, but also the affection for people who are important to you.
The film is a celebration of the unique bond between two best friends. Initially, one would assume that the protagonists are a live in-couple. Soon after, they would assume that the male lead is about to propose. Only later they would realise that the gift was no more than an expression of platonic love towards his flatmate and that his date is with another male friend.
Titan Company Ltd marketing head fragrances Ankit Kasliwal said, “There are often many things which remain unsaid in a relationship & even when you want to say sometimes the words aren’t just enough to convey a gamut of emotions. Gifting a Skinn perfume is a very warm, thoughtful & personal gesture which the protagonist does in the film to convey his feelings to his flatmate. The film is progressive in the brand’s take on not limiting love to certain boxes and boundaries.”
TVF global head – content and business Rahul Sarangi quoted, “Youth today have strong opinions, preferences and feelings that they don’t hold back. With changing trends, Skinn by Titan has struck the right chord and has taken a great route to bring to life the openness of today’s time. We are delighted with this partnership with them for 'It’s a date’ and our aim is to ensure that the thought reaches far and wide as well as to the right audience.”
Wavemaker VP Kishan Kumar said, “Skinn, as the brand signifies, wanted to take a contemporary approach on this Valentine’s Day. We believed the best way would be to strike a powerful communication which personifies Skinn as an enabler of love and friendships. So instead of building the usual pressure of finding a date, the team along with Ogilvy and The Timeliners co-created ‘It’s A Date’ – a heartwarming story of modern love.”
