Tata Tigor launches the Special First Drive campaign celebrating Father’s Day
Mumbai: Tata Tigor is excited to announce the launch of a heartwarming campaign in celebration of Father’s Day. Titled “The Special First Drive,” this campaign beautifully captures the essence of fatherhood while highlighting the comfort and safety features that define the Tata Tigor sedan.
The campaign has been executed and conceptualised by FCB Ulka.
Fathers are the guiding stars in our lives, leading us on a journey of love, support, and inspiration. The campaign’s latest film showcases the tender moments of the first drive, where a father takes the newly born child home. The first drive becomes a powerful symbol of the life a father envisions for his child – one filled with safety, comfort, and luxury.
The core objective of this campaign is to reinforce the core values of safety and security which resonate deeply with fathers and the Tata Tigor sedan alike. As one of India’s safest automotive brand’s, Tata Motors has always prioritised the safety and well-being of its customers. The Tata Tigor, often hailed as the “Sedan of the Stars,” perfectly combines style, performance, and advanced safety features to deliver a smooth and secure driving experience.
Commenting on the campaign, FCB Ulka CEO Kulvinder Ahluwalia said, “We are proud to launch the ‘Special First Drive’ campaign for Father’s Day, capturing the essence of fatherhood and bringing alive the reassurance and safety of the Tata Tigor sedan. Fathers are our guiding stars, and this campaign portrays the elation and responsibility of a new father and the very special moments of the first drive, symbolizing a father’s desire for a safe and luxurious life for their child. The Tata Tigor, backed by Tata Motors’ trust, represents peace of mind and assurance on this very special first journey.
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.
