Sirona’s new campaign encourages women to ‘rise up with menstrual cups’
MUMBAI: In a bid to encourage women to move past pads and switch to comfortable, convenient, and environment-friendly menstrual cups, menstrual and intimate hygiene products brand Sirona has launched a new video campaign. The bold and hard-hitting campaign has been created to promote the product on the occasion of Women’s Day.
Featuring popular social media influencer and theatre actor Shibani Bedi, the video aims to uncover the harsh realities of using menstrual pads. Highlighting the numerous benefits of using menstrual cups, the video encourages women to go from ‘Down with Pads’ to ‘Done with Pads’. Through a bold narrative laced with sarcasm, the video campaign sheds light on how menstrual pads prevent women from embracing life during their periods.
The goal of this campaign is to encourage women to break out of their ‘inherited habit’ of using menstrual pads and switching to menstrual cups. Sirona Cups made by using FDA approved cushiony medical grade silicone and are reusable, last for a decade, and extremely comfortable to use. Women who embrace Sirona’s breakthrough offering can swim, jog, travel, wear white, and forget worrying about their periods for life.
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.
