AMN New Media personalises TV style messaging on the Net
AMN New Media has announced that it will begin licensing its newest product called ‘Intellimmercial’.
This is an exclusive system that personalises television-style audio/video messaging on the Internet, to third-party web developers and Internet marketers. The system, referred to as the first ‘smart’ commercial, claims to deliver web-based personalised animated messages determined by specific information drawn from marketing databases. According to a company release, one of the unique features of the Intellimmercial is that it speaks to its visitors by name using a real announcer’s voice. This unique system was developed for companies that want to deliver an engaging and personal live action communication to their customers.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), the Boston Pops, and Chicagoland’s Brookfield Zoo have responded positively to tests of the technology which were conducted as part of their integrated marketing campaigns, says the company. The audio and animation technology uses database information to assemble a set of variable recorded voice messages that synchronize with animated images. The new initiative is considered an important breakthrough in the field of database marketing because it takes the most powerful elements of direct mail personalisation and applies it to TV-like commercials. Combined with its ability to track visitor activity and interest, it is positioning itself as the next generation of web messaging.
The system has been structured to allow outside web animators and agencies to create and build their own web commercials for their clients and add the Intellimmercial’s personal audio database technology as part of the complete product.

Ananta Das exits as head – brand PR for Prime Video India & APAC
Seasoned comms leader with nearly 20 years’ experience leaves after leading regional brand strategy.
MUMBAI: Ananta Das just hit the eject button on her Prime Video role because when you’ve scripted brand stories across continents, sometimes you need a scene change of your own. Ananta Das has stepped down from her position as head of brand PR for Prime Video India & APAC, marking a significant leadership transition in the streamer’s regional communications setup. Her replacement will be hired into a broader regional brand communications role reporting directly to APAC communications head Menon, indicating a restructuring of the hierarchy.
With nearly two decades in communications, Das brings a strong track record across major organisations. Before Prime Video, she handled brand and corporate mandates at Johnson & Johnson, Tata Global Beverages, and Colgate-Palmolive. At Prime Video she drove brand communications strategy across APAC markets, steering messaging for the platform’s expanding slate of originals, major content launches, and key industry initiatives.
The exit comes as Prime Video continues to scale its originals and regional presence in a competitive streaming landscape. Das’s departure opens the door for fresh leadership to shape the next phase of brand storytelling in one of the world’s fastest-growing entertainment markets.
For a region where content is king and attention is currency, transitions like this aren’t endings, they’re plot twists that keep the narrative moving forward.
