Duroflex TVC shows how to Energise your day
MUMBAI: Duroflex has rolled out a campaign to announce the launch of its latest range – Energise. The campaign will be rolled out nationally and, apart from TV, the brand also has plans to have a campaign spread across outdoor, print and digital.
The Energise range of mattresses, has been developed specifically for people who lead an active lifestyle. It comes with a unique Active NRG Layer, which helps one get an active sleep at night so that the consumer wakes up energized. To support this claim, the brand has come up with the campaign ‘Ready for Tomorrow’ which has been conceptualized and developed by Bangalore based Happy mcgarrybowen, the creative agency from the Dentsu Aegis Network.
The film has been produced by Nirvana Films and directed by Prashant Madan.
Duroflex director – marketing said, “An innovative product like Energise, innately demanded innovative messaging. Happy’s keen sense of consumer insight, creative prowess combined with superior execution has resulted in a creative / TVC that is not just innovative but inspiring, category breaking and captures the essence of Energise.”
On the campaign, Happy mcgarrybowen CEO Kartik Iyer said, “It’s always a pleasure when a client gives you a free hand to break the codes of a certain category. I don’t think any brand has looked at mattresses in this way. Innovation lies at the heart of the product.”
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.
