ASICS CAPTURES THE ‘JOY OF RUNNING’ IN ITS LATEST CAMPAIGN
With fitness forming an integral part of our lifestyle, ASICS India is running with their latest campaign ‘Joy of Running’. The initiative marks a national call for people to get inspired to run without a finish line and propagate this habit if not for anything else, for the joy of running itself. The brand aims to promote this ideology by engaging with their in-house coaches, fitness influencers and nutrition experts of the ASICS Running Club in different cities across India.
The brand launched a digital film on their social media channels that highlights the role running plays in people’s lives and how it can be much more than just a routine exercise with a like-minded community. For some it is a spiritual experience, for some running means freedom and for others it’s a way to spend time with their loved ones. Through each example, the viewers get a different perspective and insight into the whole experience of running and the meaning it carries for people.
Commenting on this initiative Rajat Khurana, Managing Director, ASICS India says, “Our brand believes that sport has the power to change lives and our association with the Mumbai Marathon for over 10 years has demonstrated our commitment towards the sport of running. It is our constant endeavor to curate a fun and motivational running culture by building communities across India. Through the ‘Joy of Running’ campaign, we want to promote the message that anyone can run, you just need the right shoes and spirit; ASICS is providing you both.”
The brand aims to amplify the initiative through a digital contest that encourages people to post a picture/video with the hashtag #JoyOfRunning #ASICS & #ASICSIN of their running experience to win a start-up kit from ASICS.
