Ad Campaigns
Bollywood classics, remixed by Snitch
Mumbai: This festive season, Snitch, a fashion brand, has launched a new campaign, taking a bold route that breaks from typical festive ads. Instead of holiday clichés, Snitch is tapping into nostalgia—reviving memories of celebrated movies with elements of pop culture and humor that defined GenZ’s earlier years. The campaign features three light-hearted ads on social media, each inspired by a popular Bollywood film with the brand’s playful twist.
Snitch’s fun take on Go Goa Gone
Snitch adds a playful twist to a famous Go Goa Gone scene. A Saif Ali Khan look-alike gets called out for his knock-off jacket. His regret? Shopping at Palika Bazaar. The solution? Snitch—where style meets affordability. The ad closes with a cheeky nod to Saif’s iconic ‘Wow’ moment, blending humor and fashion effortlessly.
Festive fun inspired by Delhi Belly
Inspired by Delhi Belly, this light hearted ad shows friends poking fun at each other’s fashion fails. As one friend flaunts Snitch’s latest collection, it’s clear—no one wants to be caught with bad style this festive season. Snitch ensures you stand out with trendy and quirky options.
Fashion first, inspired by Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
In this festive ad, a Kareena Kapoor look-alike picks the best-dressed guy at a party, thanks to his outfit from Snitch. The message is simple: with Snitch, your style does the talking. Be party-ready with fashion that makes a statement, effortlessly.
Snitch CMO Chetan Siyal said, “We wanted to do something unique this festive season—something that’s true to the Snitch spirit of confidence with style and fun. Reminiscence is powerful, especially when it connects with a generation that grew up on these famed films. Our aim was to blend that emotion with our fashion to create something memorable and meaningful.”
The campaign has been conceptualised by market consulting company BeenThereDoneThat (BTDT). Through these exceptional ads, the brand is showcasing its continuous expansion and innovative marketing approach. These campaigns represent a fresh milestone in the brand’s swift rise, solidifying its position as a fashion label that connects with GenZ through a blend of creativity and remembrance.
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.
