The used visual in this ad is Ravana, the character with ten heads, is very popular, well known and immortal character in India. It comes from the Hindu mythology epic ‘The Ramayana’. Ten heads of Ravana made him immortal. (Wikipedia)
Great opportunity for Bangalore (India) based agency Bhadra Communications to use this visual to spread awareness about the importance of wearing a helmet when riding a motor bike.
Copy: “Unfortunately, you’ve only one head. Please wear a helmet.”
