Ad Campaigns
Intex TVC by Publicis shows prevention from ‘bill shock’
MUMBAI: Intex Technologies, a leading consumer electronics major, which had recently announced its first ever range of air-conditioners to complete its bouquet of consumer durables offerings, has come out with its maiden ad campaign for the range today. The ad conceptualized by Publicis India depicts the situation of a typical middle-class Indian household using air-conditioners guzzling electricity and in turn grappling with the after-affects of high electricity bills.
ACs consume a lot of electricity when used regularly for long hours during summers. This often results in very high electricity bills that is quite shocking for a common man. The advertisement draws a comparison between this extreme shock or ‘Dill ka Daura’ with the creative expression of ‘Bill Ka Daura.’ The campaign stresses that with the installation of Intex Super Saver Inverter ACs in the house, a middle-class family saves 30% electricity, gets 15% faster cooling and thereby prevents itself from having a ‘Bill Ka Daura’.
Speaking about the first AC campaign, Nidhi Markanday, Director & Business Head, Intex Technologies said, “The TVC is aimed at eliminating the fear in the minds of common people that in summers switching ON air-conditioners means incurring high electricity bills. With Intex ACs, we have made sure that every household can now freely use their ACs to enjoy the cool atmosphere without thinking of power consumption. Intex has always striven to change people’s lives through affordable and quality products. Our power packed range of air conditioners complete our consumer durables product portfolio and strengthen our positioning in the Indian market.”
The campaign is set in a house with family members and a doctor where the man has suffered from an extreme shock which has been caused due to the high electricity bill. Intex Super Saver Inverter AC comes out as a solution for this ‘Bill Ka Daura’ in a humorous and entertaining manner.
The superior technology of Intex ACs acts as an enabler by appealing to the ‘cost consciousness’ of the Indian family and so is assured that they can go ahead and switch ON the AC whenever they want. The Air Conditioners boast of E3 Chill proposition – Efficient, Effective and Economical.

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.
