Dentsu Webchutney, Swiggy help you save an hour every day
MUMBAI: For its latest campaign, Swiggy has partnered with Dentsu Webchutney, the digital agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, to tell people how Swiggy can help them save one hour in the day, and what to do with it. In the campaign entitled #OneHourMore, Swiggy’s pup, Coco, shows us that on days when we want an extra hour and choose to leave the food to someone else, there is always Swiggy.
Swiggy AVP-marketing Ashish Lingamneni said, “With our hectic schedules and lifestyle, urban Indians are often left struggling to find the time to do the things we love. With the #OneHourMore campaign, we’re channelling a very common thought among all of us- what would I do if I could get a little more time on my hands? As everyday food ordering becomes increasingly common among Indians, Coco, the little pup gives us relatable options we can choose to spend our time on, leaving getting a meal on the table to Swiggy.”
Dentsu Webchutney, Bangalore associate creative director Ninad Gawhankar said, “With the One Hour More films and microsite, we took a creative spin on the cliché of ‘a dog’s life’, to show that, if you really get down to it, there are ways to take an hour out in the day to do the things you love.”
The campaign is anchored around two key assets. A film that shows a jumpy little pup that is making the most of his human’s one hour in the kitchen and a unique microsite where he gives you tons of fun suggestions on how to use that additional hour.
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.
