Colorbar’s new’ campaign celebrates Pride Month with self-love
Mumbai: Colorbar Cosmetics, a leading beauty brand in India, is thrilled to introduce its latest campaign, ‘#AllShadesOfYou’. This campaign reflects Colorbar’s core philosophy of fostering love, acceptance, and equality across all sexual orientations and gender identities along with the brand’s commitment to empower individuals to express themselves in their own unique way. By emphasizing that beauty knows no boundaries, Colorbar celebrates our differences as the very qualities that make us extraordinary.
Driven by the philosophy of ‘Made for Magic,’ Colorbar firmly believes in the transformative power of make-up to unlock the hidden creativity within every individual. It is an empowering call to embrace one’s truest identity, unapologetically. The campaign aims to break all traditional beauty traditions, blush outside the boundaries, highlight unique high points, and prime the world for inner freedom.
The brand has tied up with ten outspoken LGBTQ+ influencers to create a powerful platform that represents various orientations and expressions of the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, the brand and the community will share, celebrate, and embrace inspiring stories and experiences that uplift and empower. Unconventional looks will be unveiled to cause a rip in the makeup standards we know today.
In addition to the empowering campaign, Colorbar is excited to unveil its Sinful Lip n Cheek Tint range and the Joyful Range of Vegan Nail Lacquer. These sensational products are designed to ignite the imagination and offer limitless possibilities, just in time for the month of Pride. With a wide spectrum of beauty offerings, individuals can discover the perfect shades that define their persona in the most unique way.
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.
