Magicrete launches tile adhesive ad campaign
Mumbai: Magicrete, producers of AAC blocks, construction chemicals, and precast construction solutions has announced the launch of its latest ad campaign for its tile adhesive product range. This campaign, featuring actor Sumeet Vyas, highlights the advantages of using tile adhesive over traditional cement-based methods for tile installation. The ad showcases the superior strength, durability, and ease of use that Magicrete’s tile adhesive offers, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting finish.
The advertisement video is now live on YouTube, Meta, and various OTT platforms.
The ad campaign demonstrates the common pitfalls of using sand and cement mix for fixing tiles, such as cracking and debonding. The campaign educates consumers on why tile adhesive is a superior choice, emphasising the product’s strength and longevity.
“In India, many people still rely on traditional methods like sand and cement for tile installation. While these methods have been in use for decades, they come with significant drawbacks, such as weak adhesion and tile breakage. Countries around the world have embraced tile adhesives, leading to widespread adoption and significant market penetration. However, in India, the penetration of tile adhesives remains at a modest 15 per cent, highlighting a substantial opportunity for growth and modernisation in the construction industry. As India advances over development index, homeowners have become more discerning and seek better products for their homes. Our Tile Adhesives meet their evolving needs, offering superior performance and peace of mind,” said Magicrete MD Sourabh Bansal.
Talking about the concept, Cellar Door Productions director Rishav Rastogi said, “This is the second time we have had the pleasure of working with Magicrete, albeit on a different product range. The tagline ‘Naya Ghar Banta Hai Magicrete se’ resonated perfectly well with the company’s range of Tile Adhesive products. The campaign marks a significant shift in how people perceive home building. It encourages homeowners to move beyond traditional methods of fixing tiles, embracing the superior technology and durability of Magicrete’s products. Sumeet Vyas, with his relatable on-screen presence brings the character to life and embodies the trust that we wanted to convey. The two ad campaigns are set to revolutionise the way people think about tile installation.”
Magicrete has been at the forefront of modern construction technology in India for the past decade, contributing significantly to the ‘Housing for All’ initiative through its innovative yet affordable construction solutions. The company is spearheaded by a team comprising graduates from prestigious institutes such as IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, and IIM Lucknow and is backed by notable investors including Motilal Oswal Private Equity and India SME.
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.
