Birla launches campaign with Kangana
MUMBAI: Aditya Birla Group latest campaign starring Kangana Ranaut, made Lowe Lintas, highlights is on the new-age fabric designed to instil incredible fluidity into garments, from the house of Birla Cellulose.
Talking about the vision of the brand LIVA and why a TVC is the best progression for the brand LIVA, Rajeev Gopal (CMO, Birla Cellulose) states that the vision of brand Liva is to provide Indian consumers a choice of fabric, which can allow them to dress fashionably and yet be comfortable and fluid. Also this brand promises fluidity, this comes out alive, much better in a moving medium than in a print medium, so I think it’s a natural progression for the brand to now move from print to television
A lot goes in to making a fashion film, as stated by – Deepa Geethakrishnan National Creative director, Lowe Lintas, “This was really a very challenging ask for us, because we were to communicate so many things about LIVA, over and above everything else it had to be a fashion film and it had to look really edgy, so it was a long journey to manage to get a concept ready which infuses everything in it.”
About the concept of the film, Mikon Van Gastel Director says: “LIVA transforms a fabric and it makes it really fluid, so it becomes all about metaphors and movement and it is little bit complicated to think about and to translate that into visuals but that’s what makes it exciting.”
The brand ambassador of LIVA, Kangana Ranaut too stated that: Liva fluid is all about comfort, it’s about being your own person, having your own style and just to be comfortable in it and the TVC is very stylish and the concept is very fresh for an advert.
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.
