Maxxis Tyres launches campaign #TyohaarKaHumsafar
MUMBAI: Maxxis Tyres, a sub-company of Maxxis Group, a growing tyre companies, released its latest digital campaign to capture the mood of this festive season. An integrated digital marketing campaign, #TyohaarkaHumsafar reminds us of the movement from one place to another that makes any festive season come alive and Maxxis Tyres as a commuting partner.
With this thought, Maxxis Tyres, rolled out its pan India festival campaign on 1 Nov 2018 across all its digital platforms. The campaign showcases the celebration of festivities across the length and breadth of the country and the festive journey is incomplete without having to travel around the city, hence one needs to have a companion who is their #TyohaarKaHumsafar.
Commenting on the launch of Maxxis tyres first digital campaign, Maxxis India marketing and retail sales head Bing-Lin Wu said, “Our goal is to make touring around the city safer and comfortable for our users in India. Our extensive research and development has garnered trust, not just from the two-wheeler manufacturers and tyre dealers, but also from the end users in a very short time. We have a wide range of tyres in the segment, to deal with different road and weather conditions, geographies and demographics.”
Given the important role that tyres play in our day-to-day interaction with the city, it was about time for Maxxis to build an emotional connect with its users. “How and when were the two questions we had to find answers for,” said Grapes Digital COO Shradha Agarwal. “We noticed a trend. Despite all the convenience of shopping and socialising online, people, during festivals, actually prefer going to places to buy, celebrate and enjoy the festival. This insight became our ‘how’. ‘The when’ was clearly India’s biggest festival marathon, Diwali.”
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.
