Milo campaign shows how critical is sports for kids
MUMBAI: Milo Ready to Drink is a recently launched cocoa-malt milk beverage crafted specially for growing children, and has lower sugar with less than 10 grams of added sugar per pack (180 ml).
Milo has unveiled its national advertising campaign ‘Milo — Grow with sports.’ Milo believes that sports helps imbibe life values that set the foundation for a child’s future. With this new TVC, it aims to underline the importance of sports in the growing years, making it a must-have nourishing beverage for kids, to excel in the same.
In the new ad campaign, Milo is building on the fact that a mother’s greatest wish is to see her child succeed and fulfill his/her potential. While she does her best to prepare the child for life ahead, she knows that success in life needs more than skills learnt from books. Through sports, children will learn to persevere through hardship, find courage over fear, work as a team, find self-belief, be respectful and learn how to lead.
Dairy, Nestlé India GM Arvind Bhandari said, “Milo believes that sports is critical for personality development and helps kids grow holistically in their formative years. We hope that mothers understand our message and nurture their children with Milo as they grow with sports.”
The 45-second TVC features children participating in various sports like Football, Basketball, Athletics and Kabaddi with a voice over that highlights the prominence of sports in life. The video leads to a child’s victory in a race post which his mother gives him Milo to replenish his energy. Towards the end, the ad highlights the much loved international taste of Milo RTD, based on our unique ingredient ACTIV-GO™, which contains PROTOMALT™, Vitamins (B2, B3, B6, B12), and minerals (Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus). Milo RTD has lower sugar with less than 10 grams of added sugar per pack (180 ml).
‘Milo — Grow with sports’ campaign is being aired across prime time on National & Regional TV (Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam) as well as Facebook and YouTube.

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.
