Eno asks you to live life non-stop
MUMBAI: Fun times are incomplete without food. What good is a movie without nachos and popcorn! Can shopping be complete without a plate of chaat?! Would Holi feel the same without gujiyas? While food is an intrinsic part of most fun-filled moments, what happens when the same nibble decides to act as a deterrent.
Enter Eno with its claim of getting to work in just 6 seconds, Eno has led the fight against unsavoury bouts that can hijack occasions of joy and celebration.
Conceptualised and executed by Grey group, the latest campaign for Eno brings to life one such moment in the life of four friends. It demonstrates how the sudden onset of acidity can not only disrupt an otherwise fun moment, but has the potential to derail the celebrations that await.
Grey group India executive creative director Varun Goswami says, “Part of the joy of a train journey is in sampling the many local delicacies that are served at platform food stalls. Often a representation of the local flavour, these rich, surprising, unpredictable culinary samplers are a part of what makes train journeys, charming and memorable.”
Speaking on the new asset, Grey group India president of North and growth officer of North and West Ketan Desai mentions, “While the film is steeped in culture, and immediately connects with our audience, we have also embarked on a journey to create memorable assets like the Eno ‘O’, extenuating the relief moments with the effervescent bubbles, ensuring memorability and a strong brand asset that we can use across multiple medias and touch points.”
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.
