JSW Steel rolls out new corporate campaign ‘Always Around’
Mumbai: The flagship company of JSW Group, JSW Steel has unveiled its new campaign ‘Always Around’. Conceptualised by Ogilvy, the campaign will be rolled out in an episodic manner through a 360-degree Integrated campaign including TV, Digital, OOH etc.
The first of its kind of campaign, it highlights the central role JSW Steel plays in our everyday lives, aligned with JSW Steel’s positioning as a preferred consumer brand.
The campaign marks a transition from its current product-based communication to master-brand storytelling.
The creative film showcases the various applications of JSW Steel in an engaging and entertaining format through the “Claymation” concept. The film shows blue and red coloured clay blocks constantly changing form to reflect the versatile nature of Steel. The film ends with the formation of the JSW Steel logo from the same pieces of clay with the tagline “Always Around”, indicating the ubiquitous presence of JSW Steel.
Commenting on the campaign launch, JSW Group’s Parth Jindal said, “Steel is all around us and as consumers, we do not realize how central Steel is in modern living. Our latest brand campaign ‘Always Around’ was conceptualized to communicate the key role JSW Steel plays in our everyday lives and it originated from multiple stakeholder insights. The core thought for the campaign was to showcase our brand philosophy in a contemporary way.”
Adding to it, JSW Steel deputy MD Jayant Acharya said, “JSW Steel has invested heavily in technology and always provided differentiated products to its customers. Our unwavering focus on sustainability, diverse product portfolio and superior service has enabled our customers to confidently use JSW Steel in a plethora of applications. The multi-edit campaign brings alive the universal impact of JSW Steel in an aesthetically appealing format.”
Ogilvy India chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak said, “JSW Steel today is a part of almost everything in our lives, from packaging to mobility. ‘Always Around’ is a platform for the same. The visual manifestation of the idea beautifully brings to life how JSW is truly all around us.”
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.
