Dentsu Creative India honours Indian farmers in New Holland tractors campaign
Mumbai: Dentsu Creative India, in association with New Holland Agriculture – a leading brand of tractors and farming equipment, has launched a new campaign that salutes the farmers of our nation. The campaign builds on the success of last year’s ‘Asli Hero Ki Asli Taqat’ campaign, which portrayed farmers as the heroes of the nation who feed us all.
This year, the campaign focuses on the machines and technology that serve as the true strength behind these heroes. The campaign introduces a wide range of New Holland tractors and farming equipment, each designed to make farming easier and more efficient. These machines are a true embodiment of the key campaign message ‘Asli Hero Ki Asli Taqat’ (The Real Hero’s Real Strength), a promise that New Holland continues to champion.
The campaign kicked off with a TVC that will be extended to other mediums. The film features stunning visuals of farmers working in the fields with the help of New Holland tractors and farming equipment. It captures the spirit of the farmers’ dedication and highlights how these innovative and technologically advanced machines from New Holland transform them into real heroes.
Speaking on the campaign, Ujjwal Anand, Managing Partner, Dentsu Creative India said, “In a world where heroes often wear capes, New Holland reminds us that some heroes wear plaid shirts and muddy shoes. Their dedication to honouring the farmer as the true hero of our nation and recognizing the technology that supports them is both heartwarming and admirable.”
Dentsu Creative India chief creative officer of North Janmenjoy Mohanty added, “The idea was to show a perfect balance between the real power of New Holland tractors and the sheer heroism of the real heroes, i.e., our farmers. And the film has nicely achieved both. It is sure to add a lot of memorability to the brand.”
CNH Industrial marketing director India sub-region agriculture segment APAC Tarun Khanna commented, “For New Holland Agriculture, the farmers are our real heroes. With the second leg of this campaign celebrating our farmers, we are showcasing how the strength of our portfolio enables our real heroes in the field, thereby reaffirming New Holland as the real strength behind the real heroes.”
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.
