FCB Ulka designs ‘Visit Kerala Adventure’, app launched
MUMBAI: Seeing is believing, they say. But a new mobile app is sure to make you fall in love with God’s own country even before you set foot in Kerala. Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala has recently launched the exciting mobile app called ‘Visit Kerala Adventure’, conceptualised and executed by FCB ULKA.
With the help of this unique yet simple app, one can explore many hotspots of Kerala through fun and interactive games. From unveiling a ‘Red God’ in Kannur to being the ‘Sea Tamer’ of Kovalam, each game’s activity revolves around the speciality of a specific destination. Players can also win discount vouchers by winning games, and these vouchers can be redeemed upon their arrival in Kerala. Besides exploring destinations, exclusive tour and offer packages from prominent tour operators and hoteliers of Kerala can also be found on this app.
“We get thousands of tourists every year. Although they have great experiences in our state, some of them do wish that they could have known about the major tourist attractions and places of accommodation beforehand and planned their holidays accordingly. This app just fits the bill. It converts trip planning from a chore to a fun experience” – said Kerala Tourism director P. Bala Kiran, IAS.
“Visit Kerala-Adventure is the first of its kind. In most instances, more time is spent on planning a trip than on the trip itself. The app eliminates this obstacle by making discovering and planning a trip to God’s own country, a fun activity. The games let the user explore Kerala’s hotspots through a set of virtual adventures and then helps one choose the itinerary based on their preferences. In addition to that, coupons won in the games can be redeemed on-ground. In short, this app is a precursor to the magic that awaits them in land of gods,’ said FCB Ulka’s Sareesh Jameskutty.
The Visit Kerala –Adventure app is promoted across all social media platforms of Kerala Tourism and can also be downloaded from Google Play Store and iOS store.

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.
