Fastrack Specs launches maiden film ‘Loved by Nature’
Mumbai: Titan Company’s eyecare division strengthens its focus on sustainability with Fastrack’s new ‘NatureWear’ collection. The brand campaign, “#LovedByNature,” speaks of an eyewear collection made out of castor seeds. The main reasoning of the campaign is to bring forth the brand’s advocacy for environmental sustainability by raising awareness and using castor seeds as the source material.
Fastrack Specs has launched a differentiated campaign for its NatureWear range. Its first ever brand film, conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, is co-created at a global animation studio. The film features a high-quality animation of an orangutan and it has been successful in catching eyes and communicating the story of “Loved by Nature” for the collection.
The hearty piece of visual narrative attempts to highlight the efforts towards sustainability in the form of NatureWear. The campaign conveys the idea that if we are responsible to nature, it will love us back. By experimenting with emerging themes like sustainability, Fastrack Specs continues to take a leadership position.
Titan Company head of marketing – eyecare division Maneesh Krishnamurthy said, “With Fastrack specs stores, we continue to scale up our efforts to target gen-z consumers. Fastrack has always been at the forefront of championing emerging consumer trends for youth and pushing the boundaries of advertising by presenting evolving consumer needs in a fun, quirky, and youthful manner. There is an opportunity for brands to respond to the growing desire of gen-z consumers to be kinder to the environment, and Fastrack specs store has taken a leap towards it. Not only is the NatureWear collection a step in this direction by using castor seeds, a bio-based material instead of petrochemicals but it is more durable, comfortable and lighter than the alternate material. It even has a 40 per cent lower CO2 emission.”
Lowe Lintas regional creative director Shyaondeep Pal said, “Very rarely, you come across a product that truly is environment friendly. We thought of a simple leap, where an ape walks into a human environment to thank a girl for choosing Fastrack. The toughest part was getting the orangutan’s expression right. The right kind of empathy in the eyes.”

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
