GlowSkin Active Illumination powers Cartoon Network’s ‘Adult Swim’ in US
MUMBAI: GlowSkin Active Illumination Technology manufacturer Safe Lites, LLC has announced that it has added animated illumination to the advertising billboards for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim in 14 markets throughout the US. This claims to be the largest such implementation in North America.
“Our goal with any Adult Swim ad campaign is to present something highly creative and completely unexpected,” said Cartoon Network and Adult Swim senior vice president of marketing Dennis Adamovich. “This new GlowSkin technology captured our imaginations by providing a unique solution for infusing actual animation to a traditionally static billboard campaign. The result is an iconic, memorable presentation that should get people talking.”
GlowSkin is Safe Lites’ proprietary specification of industrial-grade electroluminescent (EL) lighting, which is a powered lighting system that glows, rather than shines, and is designed to stand up to harsh outdoor conditions while improving the visibility of vehicles, equipment, people, or nearly anything. The thin and flexible nature of GlowSkin, the fact that it requires minimal energy to power it, the ability to create GlowSkin in nearly any colour, size, and shape, and the safety elements designed into GlowSkin all make it an ideal technology for advertising and promotion applications, states an official release.
“In the two months since Safe Lites applied GlowSkin to the sides of light rail cars in Portland for Pentax Imaging, we have rolled out nearly 60 billboards across the US through the cooperation of dozens of organizations. We are proud to be working with Adult Swim, and the many OOH (Out of Home) Advertising organizations that are going to make this campaign a success for the late-night network’s programming,” said Safe Lites founder, chairman and CEO John Golle.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
