Bajaj announces the launch of new Brooklyn Black range via Instagram, YouTube
Mumbai: Bajaj Pulsar prepared to add two new bikes to their roster – the P250 Brooklyn Black and N160 Brooklyn Black. The challenge – to create enough anticipation around the launch of the all-black range of bikes.
To captivate bike enthusiasts for the upcoming launch, the Ogilvy Content Force & Bajaj Pulsar emulated an eclipse across their Instagram page. For an entire week, Pulsar’s Instagram feed showcased a moon with phases of an actual eclipse. Amidst the shadow, a silhouette of a bike emerged, enticing viewers about a likely launch, soon to be revealed.
With each passing day the eclipse phased closer to completion, unveiling a clearer glimpse of the upcoming mystery bike. For the next two days, the audiences were kept eagerly waiting for the moon to be entirely eclipsed. Finally, after a week-long wait, the viewers were treated to the all-new N160 Brooklyn Black on 22 June and then the P250 Brooklyn Black on 24 June.
Continuing with the eclipse theme on YouTube, the brand also overshadowed other biking videos on the platform. On the launch day, YouTube mid-roll ads were placed to create an eclipse effect over the reviews and videos of other competitor bikes, with a provocation that an Eclipse has taken over the streets and their video. The CTA button would lead them onto the website that revealed the bike details and invited inquiries.
This activity spiked the engagement amongst the pulsarmaniacs – a fitting welcome for the Bajaj Pulsar P250 and N160 Eclipse.

EcoMedia Solutions launches EcoMeter to track carbon impact in media
New tool aims to bring real data and accountability to ads and events
GURUGRAM: EcoMedia Solutions has rolled out EcoMeter, a new solution designed to bring sharper carbon accountability to advertising, media, marketing and events.
Built on its proprietary EMS platform, EcoMeter aims to help brands and agencies measure the environmental impact of campaigns and on-ground activations using real-world data rather than broad estimates.
The move comes as sustainability gains traction across boardrooms, even as measurement within the advertising ecosystem remains patchy and often reliant on spend-based assumptions. EcoMeter attempts to change that by using localised emission factors and activity-based inputs, offering a more grounded view of carbon output.
“Today, most carbon calculations in our industry are derived from spends or broad averages. That does not reflect what is actually happening on the ground,” said EcoMedia Solutions founder & CEO Rumjhum Gupta. She added that the tool factors in variables such as location, execution and materials to deliver a more accurate picture.
The platform allows users to compare media choices based on environmental impact, plan lower-carbon campaigns and generate data-backed ESG and BRSR reports. It spans formats including OOH, DOOH, print, digital and live events, bringing sustainability into the same decision-making framework as cost and performance.
EcoMedia Solutions says the larger goal is to move the industry beyond surface-level sustainability claims towards measurable action. As scrutiny from consumers, investors and regulators intensifies, tools like EcoMeter could play a key role in helping brands back intent with credible data.
With this launch, the company is betting that the next big metric in advertising will not just be reach or ROI, but impact that can be counted in carbon.
