AMN New Media personalises TV style messaging on the Net
AMN New Media has announced that it will begin licensing its newest product called ‘Intellimmercial’.
This is an exclusive system that personalises television-style audio/video messaging on the Internet, to third-party web developers and Internet marketers. The system, referred to as the first ‘smart’ commercial, claims to deliver web-based personalised animated messages determined by specific information drawn from marketing databases. According to a company release, one of the unique features of the Intellimmercial is that it speaks to its visitors by name using a real announcer’s voice. This unique system was developed for companies that want to deliver an engaging and personal live action communication to their customers.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), the Boston Pops, and Chicagoland’s Brookfield Zoo have responded positively to tests of the technology which were conducted as part of their integrated marketing campaigns, says the company. The audio and animation technology uses database information to assemble a set of variable recorded voice messages that synchronize with animated images. The new initiative is considered an important breakthrough in the field of database marketing because it takes the most powerful elements of direct mail personalisation and applies it to TV-like commercials. Combined with its ability to track visitor activity and interest, it is positioning itself as the next generation of web messaging.
The system has been structured to allow outside web animators and agencies to create and build their own web commercials for their clients and add the Intellimmercial’s personal audio database technology as part of the complete product.

Thermocool rolls out Navratri campaign on trains and stations
Nine day digital push blends devotion and storytelling for travellers
NEW DELHI: Thermocool Home Appliances has launched a high-visibility digital campaign during Navratri, turning railway stations and trains into storytelling spaces that blend culture with brand engagement.
The nine-day campaign spans key high-footfall locations including Katra, Anand Vihar, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj and Moradabad, along with the Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi-Katra route. Travellers encounter the campaign across station screens, concourses and onboard infotainment systems, making it hard to miss.
What sets the initiative apart is its narrative approach. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to one of the nine forms of Goddess Durga, with digital content explaining the significance and stories behind each day. The result is a campaign that does more than advertise, it informs and engages passengers in the middle of their journeys.
For director of sales and marketing Tanuj Gupta, the idea was to go beyond visibility. He noted that while Navratri is widely celebrated, awareness of its deeper meaning is often limited, and the campaign aims to bridge that gap in a simple and accessible way.
By tapping into high-traffic transit spaces, Thermocool is placing its message where audiences naturally gather, from busy platforms to train compartments. The repeated exposure across these touchpoints is designed to build familiarity while creating a more meaningful connection with consumers.
In a season marked by devotion and festivity, the campaign finds a clever middle ground. It turns everyday travel into a cultural moment, where storytelling travels alongside the passenger.
