Abhay Kaul’s Adtomica swipes right on Tinder as agency on record for India brand partnerships
MUMBAI: Love may be fleeting, but creative chemistry endures. Following the viral impact of Tinder’s 2025 ‘Move On’ campaign, independent creative shop Adtomica has been named the agency on record (AOR) for Tinder’s brand partnerships in India. The campaign, built around the emotionally liberating act of binning mementos from past relationships, delivered both heartbreak therapy and a bold marketing statement.
Executed in collaboration with quick commerce platform Blinkit, the campaign distributed 150,000 Tinder Plus vouchers at 75 per cent off via Singles mode. Adtomica led the charge on creative direction, integrating the offers directly into the platform with in-app assets that drew heavy engagement.
“Tinder is a brand that dares to be bold, and we love that. As their agency on record for partnerships in India, we’re excited to keep building experiences that are platform-first, culturally sharp, and always rooted in value for users”, said Adtomica founder & CEO Abhay Kaul.
Tinder’s team credited Adtomica for nailing the cultural pulse and turning insight into action. “Tinder is more than a dating app — it’s a reflection of how young India explores identity, connection, and self-worth. With the ‘Move On’ campaign, we wanted to create something emotionally resonant yet unmistakably bold. Adtomica understood that instinctively. Their ability to translate cultural insight into real-world engagement made this campaign truly memorable. We’re excited about what’s next”, said a Tinder spokesperson.
With Tinder continuing to shape gen z’s social rituals in India, Adtomica now carries the creative baton to expand its brand partnership playbook. If the last campaign was any hint, expect more swipe-worthy ideas to follow.

Coca-cola launches ‘Har Meal Aaaah’ campaign with Mamitha Baiju
Hyperlocal film turns parotta into ‘Parotaaaaaah’ to celebrate meal moments
MUMBAI: One sip, one sound and suddenly, every meal gets its moment. Coca-cola has unveiled its latest campaign, ‘Har Meal Aaaah’, aiming to turn everyday dining into something a little more memorable and a lot more refreshing. Fronted by Mamitha Baiju, the campaign leans into Coca-cola’s iconic “Aaaah” mnemonic that unmistakable expression after the first sip reimagining it as a cultural thread that ties together food, flavour and feeling across regions. The film, rooted in Tamil Nadu’s culinary culture, spotlights the beloved parotta, playfully stretching it into “Parotaaaaaah” to capture the joy of the perfect pairing.
Conceptualised by Ogilvy and extended regionally by Studio X, the campaign blends local insight with global brand cues. It reflects Coca-cola’s ongoing strategy of embedding itself into everyday rituals, this time, not through grand occasions, but through the quiet, familiar moments around food.
The idea is simple but sharply executed: position Coca-cola not as an add-on, but as an essential companion to meals. By tapping into hyperlocal food habits while retaining a universally recognisable brand cue, the campaign aims to deepen emotional recall across diverse audiences.
Early traction suggests the approach is resonating. The campaign has already sparked organic engagement online, with memes and user reactions amplifying its reach proof that sometimes, the smallest ideas travel the furthest.
At a time when brands are competing for attention in increasingly fragmented markets, ‘Har Meal Aaaah’ takes a different route zooming in rather than out. Because in the end, Coca-Cola’s bet is clear: if you can own the moment after the first sip, you can own the meal.
