Cheil India inspires students to ‘Show Them How It’s Done’
Mumbai: Cheil India has launched a new campaign for Samsung’s ‘Back to Campus’ Offer, aiming to inspire students as they prepare to return to campus after the summer holidays. The campaign, named ‘Show Them How It’s Done’, emphasizes the versatility of the Samsung Galaxy device ecosystem that propels ambition and creativity for the younger generation. With exclusive student offers and discounts on Galaxy products, Samsung encourages students to access the latest technology to help pursue their dreams.
At the heart of this campaign is the brand film that follows the journey of three students – a podcaster, a DJ, and a designer. Enabled by the limitless capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, these students overcome obstacles and unleash their creativity to follow their passion. Shunning all societal doubts and pressure, the budding artists use Samsung’s AI features to fuel their fire, emerging as examples of resilience and success.
“Today’s youngsters have an unquenchable thirst to learn more, do more and be more. In their stride to pursue their passion, these go-getters need the technology which helps them unleash creativity, enhance productivity, and express themselves fully. With Samsung’s new ‘Back to Campus’ campaign, we are democratizing the connected power of Samsung Galaxy ecosystem for students across India. As the new generation of ambitious students work towards their dreams, Samsung equips them to keep pushing boundaries and show the world how it’s done,” said Samsung India VP, MX Business, Aditya Babbar.
Powered by features like multi-device control, quick share, note assist and connected camera amongst others, the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem supports creative and productive exploration.
Speaking about the campaign film, Cheil India CCO Vikash Chemjong said, “The Gen-Z’s and Gen-Alpha’s of the world, today, are putting their talent on display. Therefore, when the world doubts their determination, they go out and “Show Them How It’s Done”. By displaying the creative potential of the Galaxy ecosystem in our films, we aim to communicate how students can bolster their productivity and explore to make a mark.”
“The exciting campaign films attempt to render how young students are zealously pursuing their passion these days. By showcasing the journey of three students with diverse backgrounds and interests, we are depicting the impact that Samsung’s connected ecosystem of Galaxy devices bring to the table. Our focus lies in inspiring students to take the leap of faith towards their passion and “Show Them How It’s Done”, said Cheil SWA COO Sanjeev Jasani.
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.
