Aegon Life Insurance focuses on relieving tension in new ad
MUMBAI: Aegon Life Insurance has recently launched its new media campaign, ‘Aegon Toh Tension Gone’ which focuses on relieving financial stress through its insurance solutions.
Contrary to other life insurance ads, this digital-only campaign is completely bereft of the usual play of safety, security, emotions and a better future for the insured and their dependents.
Aegon Life Insurance chief digital officer Martijn de Jong says, “The primary landing thought behind this campaign was to establish and take responsibility of eliminating people’s fear towards insurance buying. With this campaign, we are optimistic that we will be able to burst the myth that insurance buying is complicated.”
He adds, “Through this campaign, we pledge to take away the tensions and anxiety associated with insurance solutions. Hence, Aegon toh tension gone.”
Enormous Brands creative director Ajeet Shukla mentions, “With the otherwise serious tonality of insurance communication, we have taken steps to break the conventional approach towards buying insurance. With this campaign, we aim to communicate the subject of insurance buying with a pinch of humour attached to it. To attract the target audience in an innovative way, we took a creative call to feature astronauts in a spacecraft and address that buying an insurance plan is no rocket science.”

Pulse launches 7th Loyalty Day with #PulseUpYourDrink campaign
Runs May 1 to 15, invites fans to create drinks, 100 winners get merchandise.
MUJMBAI: If candy had a cocktail hour, Pulse is ready to stir things up literally. The Dharampal Satyapal Group’s confectionery brand has rolled out the seventh edition of Pulse Loyalty Day, anchored by a new digital-first campaign, #PulseUpYourDrink, running from May 1 to May 15, 2026. The idea: turn a tangy candy into a creative ingredient, and let consumers do the mixing. Tapping into a growing trend of flavour experimentation, especially among Gen Z and millennials, the campaign invites fans to create mocktails and beverages using Pulse candy. The format leans heavily on user-generated content, with participants encouraged to share their creations on social media by tagging @passpass_pulse.
To kick things off, a set of chefs will introduce Pulse-inspired mocktail recipes, setting the base for fans to remix and reinterpret. Actor Mannara Chopra joins the campaign to amplify reach, signalling a continued focus on youth engagement.
The activation is designed to play out across the digital ecosystem, with nano and micro influencers driving participation and conversation. As an added incentive, 100 participants will win Pulse-branded merchandise, blending fandom with rewards.
Pulse, which has led the hard-boiled candy segment for the past nine years, is increasingly positioning itself as more than just a product leaning into culture, community and online behaviour. Loyalty Day, now in its seventh edition, has evolved into a recurring digital moment where consumers actively co-create the brand narrative.
The strategy is clear: keep the flavour familiar, but the engagement fresh. Because in today’s attention economy, even a candy needs to stay in the mix.
