Nuvoco launches an integrated marketing campaign “Isme Hai Wohi, Jo No 1, Main Bhi Nahi”
Mumbai: Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., an Indian cement group, has launched an integrated marketing campaign across the country with a key focus on northern India. This campaign aims to further strengthen the consumer connect with Duraguard Franchise, which has several unique selling propositions. This Duraguard franchise includes India’s first and only microfiber cement, void reduction technology cement, superset technology cement and foundation to finish cement. This wide and differentiated range is aimed at meeting the construction requirements of the discerning customer.
The campaign is spread across the key regions of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh. The campaign consists of a series of short films showcasing this franchise’s unique properties. During this campaign, the company hopes to inspire customers to make better and more informed decisions about building their dream homes with the power of choice that the range offers. The campaign capitalizes on the differentiators and creatively incorporates humor to break the monotony in the commodity advertising space.
Each communication tool is being used to address the unique features of the four products under the Duraguard franchise, including Duraguard cement, Duraguard microfiber cement, Duraguard xtra cement, and Duraguard F2F cement, to reach a diverse audience. The campaign will be promoted across northern India via broadcast, outdoor, radio, ATL, BTL, social, and digital channels.
Nuvoco chief strategy and marketing officer Madhumita Basu commented on the launch, “Our commitment has always been towards building a portfolio of innovative and sustainable products backed by robust research and innovations. Historically, the cement business has attempted to amplify the generic benefits of products such as strength and size. But, at Nuvoco we think that in this ever-changing and progressive world, one must also look beyond the obvious. Our focus on technology enables us to break down barriers and create new offerings, which provide more relevant choices to our customers and help them make informed decisions while building their dream homes. Duraguard, one of India’s most popular cement brands, has advanced features and is a symbol of trust and longevity in the Northern and Eastern markets, and this campaign will strengthen our position even further.”
Enormous managing partner Ashish Khazanchi commented on the campaign, “During the market research in Rajasthan and Bihar, we discovered that the market relies more on hearsay, inertia, and familiarity than on actual brand research. As a result, this vastly differentiated and technology-driven product range necessitated a vastly superior and disruptive narrative capable of challenging the status quo which not only facilitates in validating consumer choice but also gives them a clear feature-benefit advantage. Thus, we came up with this campaign with the words “Isme Hai Wohi, Jo No.1 Main Bhi Nahi.”

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.
