Fluent360 is targeting Indian American cricket fans for State Farm in a campaign that includes a "Cricket Crashes" spot, which features a fan of the sport being so shocked to see it being watched by Americans that he crashes his car and turns to the brand for help. "What makes these spots compelling and keeps them on point is that when it comes to casting, acting and the script, we made sure we portrayed our audience in relatable ways, never stereotypically," says fluent360's Jose Suaste.
