Boomlet and Saridon set Guinness record with No Pain Period campaign
MUMBAI: In a historic achievement for Indian marketing, Saridon and Boomlet Group have earned a Guinness World Record for their bold and socially driven campaign, ‘No Pain Period’. Recognised as the largest online video album of people expressing period pain, the campaign turned a hushed topic into a national and global conversation—powered by the voice of thousands.
With a staggering 5,189 influencers activated over 30 days, the campaign shattered expectations. Delivering an average of 172 videos per day and seven videos per hour, it wasn’t just about scale it was about substance.
“What made this campaign special wasn’t just the numbers, though those were phenomenal; but the mission,” said Boomlet Group co-founder & managing director Preety Singh. “Period pain is a reality for millions of women and yet remains a topic that is not openly discussed. We are honoured that the Guinness World Records has recognised this bold campaign as a moment of global marketing innovation.”
The campaign brought together over 8,000+ longlisted creators, using a strategic blend of digital and offline execution to ensure diversity, authenticity, and gender balance. At its heart was a commitment to real stories told by real women, navigating cultural boundaries to spark meaningful change.
“At Bayer, we remain deeply committed to empowering women by providing effective solutions for menstrual pain relief,” said Bayer Consumer Health Division marketing head Ritu Mittal. “The No Pain, Period campaign and this Guinness World Record mark a significant step forward in breaking taboos and fostering open conversations about period pain.”
Unlike conventional campaigns focused purely on reach, No Pain Period integrated precision influencer targeting, community sensitivity, and impactful storytelling. The success is a testament to Boomlet’s expertise in managing large-scale influencer operations with finesse.
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.
