What Is John Jacobs “Stay Seen” Campaign?
John Jacobs’ “Stay Seen” Campaign is a revolutionary endeavor, featuring a collection of moving narratives inspired by diverse lived experiences. Unlike conventional fashion advertising, the campaign sets a new benchmark for storytelling in the industry. It breaks away from the typical template of featuring only great-looking models or celebrities in super-stylized shots, challenging the norm by offering a fresh perspective on eyewear marketing. The emphasis is on authenticity, breaking free from the tradition of separating the visually appealing from the emotionally resonant. Instead of an uptight and self-indulgent approach, the film takes on a real and vulnerable tone, aiming to connect with viewers on a deeper level.

What do experts have to say about John Jacobs’s “Stay Seen” campaign?
Apeksha Gupta, CEO, John Jacobs said, “From the get-go we didn’t want this to be a product film. We wanted it to showcase what our brand stands for. And the manifesto of ‘Stay Seen’ does exactly that–puts the spotlight on the wearers, not the glasses. The spirit of Stay Seen reflects the brand’s core ethos–transparency, authenticity and originality.”
Pooja Manek, founding member and creative, Talented who wrote the film said, “While thinking of the concept, we went down to the most philosophically primal need we have as a human being–to see a myriad of new things as life happens, and we want to ‘be seen’ and heard as our most authentic selves. This film takes inspiration from the profound storytelling style of coming-of-age films–a showcase of protagonists learning about friendships, love, ageing, immortality, self expression, and more, through the moments they experience. It all starts with seeing something in a new light.”
Bosco Bhandarkar, the director of Stay Seen, comments, “The real challenge and opportunity was to make sure the emotions don’t take a backseat while we do justice to showcasing the product in every sequence. Our music director, Rahul Pais from The Jamroom, experimented with a host of genres before arriving at soulful electronic pop to make this film sound as evocative as it looks. The clients allowed us massive creative and cinematic liberty and we’re chuffed with the final output.
