Dentsu Impact, Maruti Suzuki launch ‘Move Up’ campaign
NEW DELHI: Moving up in life is a dream that is cherished by all. Bringing this insight to life, Maruti Suzuki has launched its latest campaign, ‘Move Up’, for its brand – the 2020 Dzire.
Conceptualised and executed by Dentsu Impact, the creative agency from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) India, the campaign introduces the latest edition of India’s best-selling sedan, the 2020 Dzire.
With the all-new 2020 Dzire, Maruti Suzuki has introduced an offering that provides an upgrade not just for the owner of the car, but to every member of his or her family. It features a strikingly new and bold front fascia with a premium single-aperture front grille and bold chrome accents. Moreover, the sedan also has spacious and stylish interiors with champagne trim accents. It is powered by the advanced K-series Dual Jet and Dual VVT BS6 petrol engine with an idle start-stop (ISS) function. For enhanced customer convenience, the advanced features include cruise control and auto foldable ORVMs with Key sync. The enviable feature list, thereby, makes the 2020 Dzire a perfect car for those who go out of their way to provide their family an advanced experience.
The film has been released on television with a longer edit on digital. The campaign film is supported by elements in print, OOH and social media. It captures the story of a father who celebrates his success by going out of his way to fulfil his daughter's wish with the help of his 2020 Dzire. The digital short films are feature-led, integrating them seamlessly within the storyline itself. It is pertinent to note here that the campaign will be live till mid-August.
Maruti Suzuki India executive director – marketing & sales – Shashank Srivastava said, "With over 55 per cent market share in its segment, Dzire is the preferred sedan of over 20 lakh customers. Building on an overwhelming customer response, the 2020 Dzire offers next generation K-series engine with segment-first idle start-stop technology (ISS), an upgraded premium exterior design, refreshed interiors, and advanced features. As a company, we have believed in bringing technologies that benefit the customers. The 2020 Dzire will help us to continue with our brand promise, to offer products with state-of-the-art designs and advanced technology to delight our customers."
He further added, "The introduction of the advanced K-series Dual Jet, Dual VVT BS6 petrol engine with idle start-stop (ISS) function makes it more desirable, low on emissions with best-in-class fuel efficiency."
Dentsu Impact national creative director Anupama Ramaswamy said, "When it comes to Indian families, moving up never happens alone. Right from our childhood, we have seen our fathers work tirelessly, selflessly and go to any length to make every little wish, every little desire come true. With the 'Move Up' campaign, we celebrate this emotion and, also tell all fathers that the 2020 Dzire is by their side to see each and every desire of their loved ones come true."
Dentsu Impact president Amit Wadhwa added, "The idea of ‘Moving Up’ together with your family is one that resonates with every Indian. And when it comes to cars – moving up and togetherness is exemplified quite well in a sedan, especially by Dzire, which is the top choice for millions of people. The communication created around the car reflects just that and if I may add… quite beautifully!”

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.
