BBH India #ChangetheChant campaign for Oaksmith wins hearts
Mumbai: As the cricket tournament fervour reaches its peak, BBH India conceptualized a new campaign #ChangetheChant for Oaksmith Packaged Drinking Water. This campaign is not just a change in chant ‘India India’ into ‘India, India, India’; it’s a cultural leap that reflects the brand’s commitment to evolving with the spirit of the nation.
This bold step is not just about cricket; it’s about being part of a cultural moment that transcends boundaries. Cricket in India is more than a sport; it’s a celebration akin to a carnival or festival. The campaign aims to contribute to the collective joy and euphoria that cricket brings to every Indian. Embodying the brand ethos of ‘Peg It Higher,’ the campaign aims to take the chant a notch up with a 3rd title victory for India.
The campaign’s essence comes to life in a captivating video documenting the birth of the new chant. In collaboration with renowned musician Aman Pant and the vibrant Dharavi Reloaded group, the video captures collaborative efforts, cityscapes, and studio emotions, reflecting pan-Indian unity through diverse voices contributing to the chant.
Speaking about the experience of creating a new chant for India, BBH India CCO Parikshit Bhattacharya said, “The Indian team has played like never before and they deserve a chant-like never before. The video presents the fans with the ‘India, India, India’ chant, which is powered by the hopes of over a billion Indians who want to see their team lift the cup for a historic third time.”
As the Cricket tournament unfolds, the campaign invites every Indian to join in the celebration, united under the resounding echo of ‘Indiaaa Indiaaa Indiaaa.’
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.
