Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic launches ‘Can’t Stand Still’ campaign
Mumbai – Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic announced the launch of its latest campaign, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in time to celebrate the 25 years of keep Walking brand philosophy. The campaign, titled “Can’t Stand Still”, captures the continuous pursuit of new experiences and milestones, celebrating a new era of luxury for India’s dynamic changemakers.
Indian youth are rewriting the rules of luxury, moving beyond just exclusivity, and this new idea reflects individuality, bold self-expression, and a desire for experiences that are unique, unapologetic, dramatic, and brimming with vibrant energy. Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic, a brand synonymous with progress, freedom, and exploration, is fast evolving to connect with this new wave of luxury connoisseurs.
“Can’t Stand Still” campaign reflects the ethos of “Keep Walking” – an infectious energy of wanting more from life, to keep discovering, relishing, and keep moving forward. The film embodies restless freedom and brings alive Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ constant evolution and exploration. As an actor, musician, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, carving paths for herself and many others who come after her, she truly embodies “Keep Walking” – while pushing boundaries, and creating impact globally.
Speaking about the campaign, Priyanka Chopra Jonas said, “Keep walking always – it’s the approach that I have always believed in and one that has guided me through life’s triumphs and challenges. Every step forward is an opportunity to discover, explore, and evolve. Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic embodies this same energy, inspiring individuals to keep moving and making every moment count. I’m excited to join forces with a brand that matches my passion for living life to the fullest… I Can’t Stand Still… Actually, I won’t.”
“Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic’s new ‘Can’t Stand Still’ campaign is a modern and playful take on luxury and beautifully aligns with the brand’s 25 years of keep walking philosophy with relentless progress and exploration at the heart of it. The campaign is also a celebration of those who, like Priyanka Chopra Jonas, are in constant pursuit of new experiences and adventures, embracing the restless freedom to break rules and create deeper, more engaging lives that disrupt expectations. This campaign celebrates the next generation of cultural pioneers who always keep walking on their own path and shaping the future in exciting, unexpected ways and embracing a journey without a defined end. We are proud to present a narrative that inspires everyone to keep pushing the boundaries,” said Diageo India VP & portfolio head-luxury, Aparna Deshmukh.
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.
