Kid’s gear in video conveys Eon washing machine’s allergy protecting feature
MUMBAI: WATConsult, a part of Dentsu Aegis Network, has launched a digital campaign titled #SuitUptoAllergy for Godrej.
The campaign launched this week across digital media platforms with a video that takes a fun, over the top approach to humour, by draping the lead character in a hazmat suit and following him through the day as he struggles with his daily tasks in this unusual attire.
The video conveys an underlying message that while despite our best measures we cannot protect our loved ones from allergens in our surroundings, we can wash away the invisible germs & bacteria on their clothes with the help of the Godrej Eon Front Load Washing Machine.
WATConsult CEO Rajiv Dingra said, “We decided to opt for a humorous plot to simplify the message about kids’ health to moms. I believe that the campaign will resonate with the audience and bring great recognition to the brand.”
Godrej Appliances marketing director Swati Rathi said, “It is our constant endeavour to offer products built on consumer insights and hence the Godrej Machine with Allergy Protect mode.”
“Instead of launching the machine in traditional media, we have chosen to launch it first on the digital medium, with a short but humorous video. It has been designed to engage and get attention particularly from parents, who are a key target audience for the product,” she added.
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.
