Tata Renames Zica Hatchback Tiago

The basic idea of the #FantasticoNameHunt campaign was to find a new name for the car without sacrificing on the buzz already created around the Tata Zica. By making customers choose between the 3 options, Tata managed to create a more personalised connection between the Zica (now Tiago) and its fans. At the end of the competition, the results of the voting were unveiled and the Zica finally got its new name- Tiago.
