KFC launches ‘Super Saver’ range
MUMBAI: KFC India recently launched its all-new Super Saver range – a combo of KFC delicacies starting at Rs 99 with a new TVC conceptualised by Ogilvy India. The ad shows ‘President of KFC Land, Colonel Sanders’, floating in mid-air as he introduces the ‘unbelievable’ new offer.
Ogilvy India senior creative director Krishna Mani said, “A range of your KFC favorites at a price point starting Rs 99 was actually too good to be true, even as brief to us. Therefore, the task was to find a creative way to deliver the incredible but true pricing to audiences. What better way than to get Colonel Sanders to create some magic at KFC Land.”
KFC India chief marketing officer Moksh Chopra said, “We recently launched our new ‘Super Saver’ range offering both value and variety to consumers, starting at an unbelievable price point of Rs 99/- Though it sounds too good to be real – Super Saver is exactly what you see! Nothing but finger lickin’ good meal at an affordable price.”
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.
