Tripling is our attempt at intuitive positioning of Tiago as an enabler, in an engaging, culturally relevant story for its audience. It is a showcase of our data driven, digital first and tech enabled approach to branded storytelling. If the initial reactions to the show’s trailer is anything to go by, Tripling will surely give our audience a seamless and memorable branded storytelling experience”, said Pooja Verma, Head – Content, Entertainment and Sports Partnerships at Maxus.
Tripling is a beautiful journey spread over five webisodes of three siblings who go on a road trip, and in the process, redefine their own lives and relationships. A true visual treat for viewers, the show weaves in the dynamic Tiago as the sibling’s partner on their journey to discovery.
“Our new hatchback, Tiago comes with new attractive design credos which appeals to the young and is all about enjoying life on-the-go. This is exactly what the new web series depicts. We found this storytelling route, a good way to engage with our target customers and are delighted to associate with Tripling to communicate the zeal of youth, adventure and this series resonates well with Tiago’s spirit of enjoying moments in life,” said Mr. Vivek Srivatsa, Head- Marketing, Passenger Vehicles Business, Tata Motors.

Hyphen launches sunscreen campaign featuring Kriti Sanon as SPF Police
Campaign drives SPF habit; Blinkit tie-up enables instant sunscreen delivery.
MUMBAI: No SPF, no mercy Kriti Sanon is out patrolling your skincare routine. Hyphen has rolled out a new campaign film starring its Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer Kriti Sanon, who steps into a playful alter ego as the brand’s “SPF Police”, turning sunscreen reminders into a full-blown public service announcement with a wink. The campaign kicked off with a cheeky social media tease suggesting Sanon had “stepped down” from her role, sparking chatter online before the brand revealed the twist: she hasn’t gone anywhere, she has simply taken on an additional avatar, one dedicated to ensuring people do not skip sunscreen.
The film leans into humour to drive home a serious point. In a slice-of-life setting, Sanon intercepts a gym-goer about to step out without sunscreen, promptly handing over Hyphen’s ‘All I Need Sunscreen’, which arrives instantly via Blinkit. The message is clear: forgetting SPF is no longer a valid excuse when it can be delivered in minutes.
Beyond the laughs, the campaign taps into a well-known gap in everyday skincare habits. Sunscreen, despite being one of the most recommended steps, is often the most ignored. By gamifying the reminder through an “SPF Police” persona, Hyphen aims to turn a routine into a reflex.
The multi-stage rollout from intrigue-led teasers to the final film has been designed to spark conversation while embedding the brand into daily behaviour. It also spotlights Hyphen’s quick commerce partnership with Blinkit, positioning accessibility as a key enabler of consistency.
Sanon, who remains closely involved in product development and brand strategy, noted that the idea stemmed from a simple insight: skincare works best when it is easy, habitual and hard to ignore. The campaign reflects that philosophy equal parts science, storytelling and a nudge you cannot quite escape.
The film is now live across Hyphen and Blinkit’s digital platforms, with further activations expected to extend the campaign’s reach and perhaps keep the SPF Police on duty a little longer.
