Revlon will partner with MGM for new Bond film
Cosmetics conglomerate Revlon has announced a planned promotional partnership with Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The venture will support the 20th James Bond film Die Another Day set for release later in the year.
Revlon plans to create a global marketing campaign linked to the film that will include advertising support, in-store promotion, an online component, integrated marketing events and public relations support.
An official release informs that the global marketing campaign will reinforce Revlon’s “Unforgettable Women” positioning and will be synergistic with the James Bond equity. Speaking on this, V-P brand exposure for Revlon Kristin Patrick-Petersen said: “Revlon’s heritage as an exciting brand that celebrates women of unforgettable glamour and style complements the action-packed mystique of the James Bond equity.”
What gives the venture a leg up is the fact that Revlon spokesperson and Academy Award winning actress Halle Berry Monster’s Ball stars in the film along with Pierce Brosnan who will play the title role for the fourth time.

Tata Communications named Gartner WAN Leader for 13th consecutive year
AI-driven network upgrades and global expansion keep telecom major ahead
MUMBAI: Tata Communications has once again secured its place among the top global network providers, earning a Leader position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global WAN Services 2026 for the thirteenth year running.
The recognition from Gartner highlights the company’s consistent performance in both strategic vision and execution, a rare feat in a fast-evolving connectivity landscape.
Over the past year, Tata Communications has doubled down on building what it calls a more intelligent and flexible network fabric. In simpler terms, this means networks that can adapt on demand, powered by artificial intelligence and analytics, to support businesses operating across geographies and industries.
The company has expanded its network-on-demand offerings, allowing enterprises to scale connectivity more easily across data centres and multiple cloud environments. It has also invested in next-generation fibre infrastructure and high-capacity 800G wavelength services to keep pace with the growing demands of AI-led cloud ecosystems.
Global reach remains a key focus. Tata Communications has extended its footprint through partner points of presence, enabling quicker deployment in new markets while strengthening last-mile connectivity through local collaborations.
Security, too, is getting a significant upgrade. The company has enhanced its Secure Access Service Edge capabilities to tackle emerging AI-driven cyber risks, including unauthorised data transfers. Looking ahead, it is also preparing to roll out quantum-safe encryption services based on post-quantum cryptography standards, aiming to future-proof enterprise data against both classical and next-generation threats.
Speaking on the milestone, Tata Communications executive vice president, core and next-gen connectivity services and chief technology officer Genius Wong said, “We are honoured to be recognised for the 13th consecutive year and deeply appreciate the continued trust our customers place in us. At Tata Communications, we will continue to transform our solutions so enterprises can build resilient, high-performance and intelligent digital foundations. With our future-ready, resilient and intelligent network fabric, enterprises can scale with confidence and thrive in an AI-powered future world.”
While industry rankings often come and go, a 13-year streak suggests more than just consistency. For Tata Communications, it signals a steady grip on a rapidly shifting global connectivity market and a clear ambition to stay ahead of the curve.
