From hair mess to hair success, Morphy Richards’ campaign hits the right note
Mumbai: Morphy Richards is taking its personal grooming range to the next level since its foray into the category last year. Their latest campaign is all about the remarkable transformation that its personal grooming range of products bring to everyday hair challenges.
The film demonstrates how the right grooming tools can turn a stressful hair situation into a moment of effortless beauty. In the film, the viewers are introduced to a chic and stylish bedroom setting, where a younger sister nervously clutches onto hair rollers and brushes. The suspenseful music builds tension as the camera reveals her older sister’s frizzy hair. The older sister’s frustrated gaze towards her younger sibling escalates the drama when she reaches for the scissors. However, just in time, the focus shifts to the Morphy Richards Keraflow Hair Straightener.
The suspenseful music fades as the older sister opts for the straightener, effortlessly transforming her messy curls into sleek, shiny hair. This visual transition highlights the power and effectiveness of Morphy Richards Hair Straighteners, turning what could have been a hair disaster into a smooth and polished look.
“As we step into the festive season, Morphy Richards is excited to unveil its latest campaign focused on personal grooming. At Morphy Richards, we believe that celebrating the joy of the season starts with feeling your best. Our new range of grooming products is designed to enhance your personal care routine with innovative features that blend efficiency and elegance. We’re proud to support our customers in looking and feeling their finest as they embrace the festivities with confidence and style. Here’s to a season filled with joy, radiance, and the perfect grooming experience.” — Bajaj Electricals head of advertising and brand management, Devika Sachdeva
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.
