Nestlé’s new campaign aims to brew energy and positivity
NEW DELHI: Nestlè India's coffee brand NESCAFÉ has come up with a new campaign called, ‘Karne se hee hona hai,’ for the coffee lovers across the country. The existing environment, with its uncertainties, has shown that life is full of opportunities and surprises for those who wish to find them. NESCAFÉ with its latest campaign aims to encourage people to seize these opportunities and surpass the challenges of the current times with optimism, action and resilience.
The brand has always encouraged the youth to dream, act and achieve. With this outlook, during these trying times, NESCAFÉ aims to motivate millennials, broaden the skyline of their imagination and to mentally stimulate them to re-start their lives with renewed focus and energy.
Nestlé India director of coffee & beverages Sunayan Mitra said, “The spirit of determination and tenacity forms the essence of this campaign, wherein a mug of NESCAFÉ is an ally, in the journey towards purposeful living, irrespective of the circumstances. The challenges, as a result of the current crisis, are significant. However, it is also a chance for everyone to take a moment and look at the bigger picture, adapt to the new world, and restart lives through conscious action. NESCAFÉ, the purposeful ally, motivates and supports consumers in this endeavour, while they go about restarting their lives in the evolving reality with hope, optimism and positive actions.”
McCann India CEO and chief creative officer Prasoon Joshi said, “At a time when India is restarting after a prolonged crisis, NESCAFÉ through this campaign speaks of the spirit of purposiveness and resilience. ‘Karne se hee hona hai’ – a phrase that captures the positivity, hope and the optimism of the youth and those who take it upon themselves to be at the forefront to restart, infuse life and purpose into their passion.”
Created with an upbeat background score, the latest TVC highlights that even though life had seemingly come to a halt with more than 100 days of being inside, we must now get ready to restart it and find newer ways to drive ourselves to achieve our dreams and ambitions.

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.
