Chumbak unveils ‘A Life of Joy’ campaign
Mumbai: Chumbak, India’s leading home and lifestyle retail major, has unveiled the ‘A Life of Joy’ campaign on the occasion of celebrating the New Year. This strategic development highlights Chumbak’s commitment to uplifting the overall consumer experience and strengthening its position in the competitive retail sector.
‘A Life of Joy’ serves as the brand’s manifesto, presenting its core values that have consistently defined Chumbak for its consumers and internal team. Focused on celebrating the small joys in life, the campaign looks forward to establishing Chumbak more than a retail destination but a companion of joy in everyday living.
Speaking about the announcement, Chumbak co-founder and director, of product & design Shubhra Chadda mentioned, “We couldn’t be happier – A Life of Joy is the foundation of Chumbak and defines everything we create here. More than anything, we’ve always been an emotion and a way of life for our consumer and we promise to keep it that way!”
Adding to that, Chumbak co-founder and director of the brand Vivek Prabhakar said, “A Life of Joy is a brand promise we’re making to our consumer, a pledge to make every interaction that our consumer has with Chumbak, joyful. This reflects and will continue to reflect in our product, design, and shopping experience. We’re very glad to kickstart the new year on a high note and unveil this across all our brand touchpoints.”
As Chumbak continues its trajectory, the ‘A Life of Joy’ campaign aligns with the brand’s strategic objectives to strengthen consumer loyalty, enhance brand recognition, and create a positive impact on the bottom line.
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.
