Mr SKOR...What I am talking about is ......
If ur an Indian U would know that those names written in the rocks are done by people who are
absolutely low income group people,,, who express their love in such a way.... Kind of spooky Cave Paintings... So forget Raju actually gifting Lina a diamond..... The idea is out in the Ad... But not very sure about the Branding aspect... As I said..

Rahool,

First off, I dont think thats an Indian concept...

It's done world over...!

and secondly, Rock=Diamond.

All they are telling raju is don't express your love on a rock. Do it with a "Rock".

Idea totally works for me. Simple, straight forward. Maybe a tad too "First-thought-ish" but still...

It's funny and we should not take it so literal. I think everyone, even the one's who can afford a 'rock' can understand the joke so it works for me. after all in india people are watching 'raju loves lina' kind of movies. Though not sure if it is real as a diamond client would want to show his diamonds. JWT creatives, I am curious where this ad ran?

Just taken at face value, it's average at best. Seems pretty flip for a diamond ad.

I think this is really strong original work, especially for this type of client. It's romantic without being sappy. And it doesn't show a peice of jewlery!

Nice fresh idea. The copy line could be a bit tighter though.
