Lowe Lintas Mumbai creates inaugural brand campaign for Grofers
MUMBAI: Local e-commerce platform, Grofers has appointed Lowe Lintas Mumbai to launch its inaugural brand campaign in India and establish it as the one-stop destination for all things grocery and home needs, on the digital platform.
Lowe Lintas Mumbai executive director Shantanu Sapre said, “I am happy that Grofers chose us to chart out their brand journey in India through the inaugural launch campaign. The excitement on this launch is high; in this I see an interesting challenge, as the category is as yet nascent. This provides Lowe Lintas Mumbai with the opportunity to create a unique brand voice in an unexplored category. Thus, what we present to the audience is a quirky, witty and playful communication that will help us make Grofers a household name.”
As part of the launch exercise, Lowe Lintas Mumbai will unveil a series of four films of 45 seconds and three additional films of 30 seconds each that will highlight the service features of Grofers. The entire campaign will work towards promoting the USP of Grofers as an online on-demand delivery service expert.
The core theme around the campaign is based on the simple consumer understanding that most working people, especially young couples face — spend most of their time at work. They do not have enough time balancing work and the basic needs at home.
Lowe Lintas Mumbai chief creative officer Arun Iyer said, “The challenge was to give the brand meaning in the lives of these young working couples. It is a well-known fact that women have always found men who share domestic responsibility, more appealing. I’m certain this holds even truer for the young working women of today – given they are constantly trying to successfully juggle work and home. It is this insight that we played on for the Grofers campaign.”
Launched in December 2014 as an on-demand delivery service that connects consumers with local merchants in the neighbourhood, Grofers has offer a platform to those who wish to shop their wares via digital platforms.
Grofers co-founder Albinder Dhindsa added, “We are now in 27 cities across India and offer a rich mix of everyday use products that consumers need. As such, we felt Lowe Lintas Mumbai was the right partner to help us communicate the value of our offering to consumers. We are building our brand on understanding our customer’s wants and needs – wanting to enjoy their time but needing to take care of daily chores as well. Hence, the proposition of ‘We get it’ bodes well for the brand.”
The media coverage for this campaign is programmed for high visibility, which includes on and offline channels such as digital platforms, television, print and outdoor.
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.
