Vanesa launches TVC featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan
Mumbai: Vanesa Body Deodorants has launched its new TVC underlining the brand’s inherent style and confidence quotient. The TVC features its brand ambassador Kareena Kapoor Khan.
With Women’s Day just around the corner, the video celebrates the liberating quality of self-love and confidence by showing Kareena confidently and gracefully walking through a glamorous setting, accentuating the qualities that both she and the brand stand for.
The creative agency behind the making of the TVC is The Shop. Produced by Passion Film India, the 30-second long video is directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary. The TVC will be broadcasted on many prominent TV channels like E24, Music Studio, Star Sport, Zing, B4U Music, and ETC.
Denver – Vanesa Body Deodorants director Saurabh Gupta said, “We are thrilled to have launched this TVC in tandem with none other than Kareena Kapoor Khan. There is no denying that Kareena is one of the biggest names in Bollywood today. With her absolute aplomb and élan, she symbolises all the qualities that Vanesa stands for. From glamour and beauty to utmost confidence, she has portrayed all of these qualities through her versatile and multifaceted career. Needless to say, we couldn’t have found a more perfect representative for our brand.”
Kareena Kapoor Khan added, “Vanesa is a brand I prefer using and also one which I recommend to others. Its range of fragrances is perfect for women who do not just want to smell great, but also feel good from within while enjoying their life or striving for success. It is this combination of confidence and style that I tried to bring out through my role in the TVC and with my endorsement of Vanesa at large."
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.
