Wiggles launches #AndhaPyaar campaign
Mumbai: In a world where judgment, misunderstanding and feeling of loneliness are too common, pets have always been there to lend a paw and brighten days. Leveraging this insight, that affection and love from pets have no conditions, homegrown pet care brand Wiggles launches a quirky marketing campaign #AndhaPyaar ahead of Valentines’ Day. This campaign brings to light that the bond between pets and their parents comes with no strings, and is honest, pure and blind.
#AndhaPyaar features pet parents’ real-life experiences during challenging times and how they sought comfort with pets. The digital campaign that extends to social media is also powered by a digital contest thus driving consumer engagement. In addition to this, an exclusive Valentines’ weekend brunch is being hosted by the brand to drive camaraderie within the community. With a strong focus on emotional storytelling and community involvement, #AndhaPyaar reminisces special moments and love between pets and their parents.
Wiggles CMO Prashant Kohli said, “At Wiggles, all our campaigns are crafted upon real insights that make the relationship between pets and their parents unlike any other. #AndhaPyaar brings focus to the unconditional love that pets have towards their parents, even in their darkest hour. In addition to the digital campaign, we have organised a community building exercise with Valentine’s weekend brunch that will further strengthen the brand’s proposition with consumers, directly. We hope that our campaigns encourage more people to welcome home pets and along with their unconditional love.”
#AndhaPyaar is live across social media platforms, digital media as well as the Wiggles website. In collaboration with Highland restaurant, Pune, Wiggles is hosting a brunch date for pets and pet parents on the 11 and 12 of February. #AndhaPyaar conceptualized and executed by Wiggle’s in-house creative team.
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.
