Aaj Tak launches new TVC ‘Mobile Aap’
MUMBAI: Aaj Tak is launching a new TV campaign called ‘Mobile Aap’ as a part of its existing Aankhen Khol De campaign. Conceptualised and created by the renowned Bollywood film maker and expert ad maker Pradeep Sarkar, the new TVC features leading Bollywood celebrities Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu.
The entire campaign emphasises on how Aaj Tak has played an important role by bringing forth some interesting facts that are eye openers for its viewers. It alsoshowcases the real picture to the entire nation. The impact of the channel has been so strong among its viewers that even misleaders of the society fear of being caught on Aaj Tak Cameras.
In the short black and white commercial Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali are playing the role of King & Queen. Both the king and queen are enjoying clicking selfies, when they suddenly hear the noise of force. Their soldier comes and tells them that the noise is of a marriage procession. But after some time the real force enters. This is when the queen tells the king that if you would have downloaded the AajTak mobile application, we would have got the correct information.
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.
