Ds Group is set to usher in Christmas with the launch of CGI video for Pulse.
Mumbai: The confectionery division (DS Foods Limited) of Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), a multi-business corporation and a FMCG conglomerate, is set to usher in the joyous spirit of Christmas with the launch of a Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) video this season for Pulse.
In today’s digital era, CGI has become a tool for capturing online consumers’ attention, offering a powerful means of conveying brand messages in creative and visually compelling ways, ultimately enhancing consumer engagement. Recognising the significance of candies and merry-making during Christmas celebrations, Pulse has unveiled a quirky and fun CGI video.
The video, featuring brand ambassadors Abhishek Banerjee and Saurabh Shukla, unfolds on a bustling road with people strolling and cars in motion. A prominent billboard showcasing the brand ambassadors holding Pulse candy. In a whimsical turn of events, Santa Claus and his sleigh emerge from the clouds, swooping down to pluck a pulse candy from the billboard before disappearing into the sky. The video concludes with a playful message that reads, “Even Santa can’t resist the Tanginess of Pulse. Pran Jaaye Par Pulse Na Jaaye!!”
Enclosed is the link of the video –
Commenting on the campaign launch, DSFL DS Group GM, Marketing Arvind Kumar expressed, “We are thrilled to launch yet another creative campaign this Christmas. Pulse has consistently demonstrated its dedication to making all celebrations and festivals memorable. ‘Christmas’ is a time of joy and celebration, and we wanted to infuse that spirit into our brand. Pulse’s innovative utilisation of CGI technology exemplifies our unwavering commitment to remaining at the forefront of creativity and engagement. This campaign is our way of spreading happiness and extraordinary moments during the Christmas holiday season.”
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.
