The latest campaign for the new City Casual collection reflects our belief that style is not just about the shoes you wear but the individuality and confidence you exude with every step.

It's a bold step, and we're excited to take it with you.”

 Arijit Sengupta, Executive Creative Director, FCB India, the creative agency behind the campaign, added "In the past, Bata has associated with celebrities to bring alive their campaigns, but this time they wanted to connect with the younger audiences. They wanted to bring alive the idea that Bata can turn every walk into a ramp walk and turn a regular individual into a fashion model. That's why we decided to get some of the most interesting social media influencers and added all that style to their everyday walks. Because when you wear a pair of Bata shoes, even a mundane stroll to fetch your americano can become a ramp walk."

 The collection will be promoted through an integrated Marketing approach using multiple touchpoints such as Social Media, TV and offline promotions. Bata India's dynamic 360-degree campaign combines the strength of a mix of influencers pan-India with the exciting #RampWalkChallenge aimed to inspire confidence with every walk, a sprawling retail network with 2000+ stores, and a robust digital presence.
