Legrand India salutes electricians this festive season
MUMBAI: This festive season, Legrand India, the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure honours and celebrates electricians-the unsung heroes of Diwali.
The company, as a part of its flagship ComeHomeToCelebrations campaign, announced its newest Diwali campaign where it salutes the hard-work of the electricians and surprises them and their family members.
As a part of this campaign, the company plans to reach out to electricians from across 15 cities on ground and light up their homes while the electricians themselves are busy lighting our homes.
Electricians are the busiest lot during festivities, especially Diwali. These heroes don’t get time to decorate their homes, celebrate with their families and it's because of them that any festival comes to life. Legrand captures this beautifully through a short digital film. The company will also associate with popular online influencers to maximise viewership for this film. The festive fervour will be brewing on the company’s social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube.
Legrand India vice president marketing Sameer Saxena says, “Electricians are the backbone of the trade that Legrand is in and we wanted to do this for a very long time. This campaign captures the importance of electricians in our day to day lives and depicts how we are so busy in our lives that we sometimes don’t pay attention to people who help us make our lives simpler. This campaign is our way of paying tribute to all our electrician partners and we are emotionally invested in this campaign.”
Commenting on the business objective behind the campaign, Saxena said, “The essence of #ComeHomeToCelebrations is celebrating family bonds, celebrating joy, love and sharing it with people around us. This campaign also derives from the same theme. Legrand India over the past few years has ramped up its digital presence through video based content and we want to present this film to our consumers so that they recognise and celebrate these heroes with us.”
The company also wishes to strengthen its connect with its electricians and build greater affinity for the brand.

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.
