Happy mcgarrybowen, Tally Solutions create GST-ready software campaign
MUMBAI: Tally Solutions, accounting and business management software, collaborated with Happy mcgarrybowen, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, to launch its first campaign for its GST-ready software. With over 30 years of serving businesses across India, Tally is in an important position to deal with GST.
The campaign centres around a clear message: ‘Tally Hai Toh Tayyar Hain’. The campaign drives home this message across film, print and digital by contrasting different kinds of business people and their approaches to GST. Essentially, it is the difference between those who adapt with times and those who don’t. The tonality of the campaign is light-hearted, yet it drives home a strong message.
Speaking about the campaign, Happy mcgarrybowen CEO and co-founder Kartik Iyer in a statement said, “Working with tally has been an enriching experience at many levels. As pioneers in the business of Fintech, their insight and view into the GST era is unmatched. Their ability to break anything that is complex down to simple clear points is what makes them the leader undoubtedly. There is a lot to do together. We look forward to doing some great work for them.”

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.
