Del Monte casts its spread in eight variants
MUMBAI: Products spread their Brands wider! Del Monte is ready with its new marketing campaign supported with pictures of mouth-watering treats. With the aim of creating awareness on the usage and elaborating on the versatility of mayonnaise, the campaign has been floated in the Delhi NCR region alongside the launch of eight variants of Del Monte mayonnaise.
The new campaign highlights the uncalled-for food-related situations in one’s daily life simplified by Del Monte. The brand engaged Wunderman India as its creative agency to plan and execute the campaign. The campaign demonstrates the role mayonnaise can play in today’s new-age women’s world.
The brand recently revamped its mayonnaise range and introduced new packaging. With quick and easy recipes printed stylishly at the back of the pack, wrapped in eye-catching colours, the move echoes the same thought as that of the campaign.
The campaign which kick-started in August with print ads and radio will be amplified in other media such as OOH and social media to impact the audience minds in an engaging manner. The campaign will also incorporate consumer outreach activities to create usage awareness through recipe brochures, and on-ground activation via extensive sampling across organized and unorganized retail.
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.
