Games24x7 unveils new positioning for RummyCircle with ‘Apna Game Dikhao’ campaign
NEW DELHI: Games24x7, one of India's leading online gaming companies, unveiled a new positioning — 'Apna Game Dikhao' for its rummy platform, RummyCircle. The new marketing campaign aims to bring out light-hearted competitiveness of the game among the players and invites players from all over India to join the platform and show off their rummy skills.
RummyCircle is the flagship product of Games24x7's full-stack gaming portfolio of skill games (RummyCircle and fantasy sports platform My11Circle) and casual games. Launched in 2009, RummyCircle is currently the most popular online skill gaming platform in India.
The new positioning campaign portrays a myriad of emotions that goes on in the mind of a rummy player while playing the game online. Through a slice-of-life format, the brand film perfectly captures the fun, entertainment, and immersive game playing experience that RummyCircle offers.
The marketing campaign includes a high-decibel television campaign that will air across genres on all leading television channels. Apart from Hindi Speaking Market, customised versions of the TVC will run across major regional channels in West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
The campaign will also run across all major OTT platforms and YouTube and the new positioning will be further amplified through high-frequency campaigns on social media and other digital platforms. The company aims to widen the reach of the campaign through strategic sponsorships and tie-ups with influencers across different regions of the country.
Games24x7 director – brand and marketing strategy Avik Das Kanungo said, "As one of the pioneers of mobile gaming in India, we aim to establish the popularity of rummy as a competitive skill game of great entertainment value. We have seen a consistent increase in interest for the game from players across the country. While online rummy as a category is popular in the South markets, our research has shown a substantial rise in interest from players in the other parts of the country. The primary objective of this new positioning campaign is to expand our brand footprint beyond the South market, which includes Hindi Speaking Markets (HSM), Maharashtra, Gujarat and West Bengal. The #ApnaGameDikhao campaign brings alive rummy as a thinking person's game, and we hope new players visit www.rummycircle.com and discover the awesome game playing experience."
Spring Marketing Capital founder and creative partner Arun Iyer said, "Rummy has always been part of our culture. It is often played as a fun, inclusive, engaging game in different Indian households and by every family member. Rummy is also a game of skill. Rummy Circle's 'Apna Game Dikhao' campaign aims at bringing newer and diverse players into the world of online Rummy to test their skills and have fun, just like they would at home."
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.
