Signpost India Invites brands to come together for Save the Tiger campaign
MUMBAI: Nagpur, the “Tiger Capital of India” is all set to don a refreshing new look by Signpost India, in active collaboration with Forest and Revenue Department of Maharashtra. The innovative media company with unmatched expertise traditional Out-of-Home (OOH) and digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) media is inviting all major brands across India to lend support for the “Save the Tiger” initiative by allowing them to put up advertisements across various bus shelter locations in Nagpur.
This campaign is set to kick-start from 27th July, 2018 and shall be free of cost (one location per brand) for the participating brands. It will be launched with a gala dinner in the presence of the Shri. Vikas Kharge, Secretary, Forest and Revenue Department of Maharashtra, and renowned playback singer Javed Ali at Palacio, Centre Point, Nagpur.
The tiger isn’t merely a charismatic species or simply another wild animal living in some far away forest. It is an incomparable animal which plays a critical role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem. Unfortunately, if the tigers go extinct, the entire system would collapse and it will be a catastrophe for mankind.
Fortunately, India is home to more than 70 per cent of the world’s tiger population and Nagpur is unofficially considered as the “Tiger Capital of India.” It is therefore unpardonable that at 23 deaths, Maharashtra stood second only to Madhya Pradesh (25) in tiger deaths nationwide during 2017. But luckily its tiger population is steady with 86 in Tadoba National Park, Nagpur – the prime reason why the campaign will go live in Nagpur.
Through this campaign, brands will get an opportunity to extend their support towards protecting tigers and will be furthermore offered innovative messaging opportunity too.
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.
