Lowe Lintas adds sparkle to Caratlane’s #GetDiwaliReady
MUMBAI: During Diwali, online or retail brands in any category be it apparels or malls or real estate or automobiles and even jewellery are vying for attention saying ‘buy me’ by offering discounts and cashbacks.
The online jewellery market is pegged at Rs. 8-10 billion market. It is growing five times more in comparison to its offline competitors. In a cluttered festive environment, the campaign #GetDiwaliReady conceived by the Mumbai office of Lowe Lintas aims to touch the hearts of millennials and encourages them to buy jewellery online. CaratLane, a Tanishq partnership, is aiming to take a larger share of the pie as they are entering their next level of growth with this campaign.
Lowe Lintas president Anaheeta Goenka, “It was an interesting business challenge given to us. Create a consumer pull for modern everyday jewellery and build a human connect with the brand. The current generation values the relationships made away from the family – be it a place where they stay or a place where they work. And, thus was born the campaign idea of new “families.”
CaratLane founder and CEO Mithun Sacheti says: “Our campaign celebrates the precious relationship that we build outside our family, in our newly set-up social ecosystems, who become our extended family. “
Lowe Lintas executive director (creative) Akash Das: “There are many people who won’t be able to go home to celebrate Diwali. Our script is about the friendships they have nurtured in a place away from ‘home’.”
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.
