Amazon India urges to #DeliverTheLove this Raksha Bandhan
MUMBAI: Raksha Bandhan, the festival that celebrates the bond between siblings, is just around the corner. Amazon India has come out with their latest campaign,
#DeliverTheLove as a reminder of what is really important for Raksha Bandhan.
Conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather, Bangalore, and directed by Amit Sharma of Chrome Pictures, the film beautifully captures the sentiment that nothing can be cherished more than moments spent with your loved ones. This campaign is led by a digital film, and includes Print, OOH, Digital and Radio.
Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Amazon India Spokesperson: Rakhsha Bandhan is a beautiful festival which celebrates a unique bond between a brother and sister. With our fast paced lives, relationships end up taking a back seat. With the campaign #DeliverTheLove, we are trying to communicate that while we can deliver anything you want, anywhere you want, nothing is more important than cherishing the relationship you have with your sibling, by meeting them in person.
Ogilvy executive chairman and creative director Pirush Pandey said : This is a brilliant piece of work. It is a wonderful leadership statement, brilliantly written, acted and directed. Being a brother of seven sisters, I am completely and totally moved.
Ogilvy & Mather India CEO Kunal Jeswani added, “Amazon has everything going for it. A wide selection of products, great quality and customer-friendly service. While it’s obviously a great place for India to shop, it’s also become the natural choice when you want to send someone a gift. Some festivals like Raksha Bandhan, however, are a little different. Nothing can replace the joy of a brother and sister meeting on Raksha Bandhan. There is a magic there that should never be replaced by anything. Coming from a brand, that is a beautiful, brave statement.”
Ogilvy Bangalore, ECD Mahesh Gharat said, “With this campaign, brand Amazon has taken a higher ground. This is an example of brand courage, where an online shopping brand says that sending a gift is not the same as going and giving it yourself.
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.
