Mumbai : Mondelez India, the makers of leading snacking products, is excited to announce the launch of Studio creations by Cadbury, a luxurious new collection of signature pralines. This marks the brand’s most significant launch in over five years, reimagining the world of premium gifting with an artistic touch. The introduction of Studio creations by Cadbury is not just a launch—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and innovation, created to cater to the evolving tastes of today’s discerning consumers.
At the heart of this offering is a curated selection of beautifully crafted pralines with 3 exotic flavours- Gianduja, Brownie Aux Noix & Chocolat A L’Orange- that blend the finest ingredients with artistic elegance luxuriously encased in a meticulously crafted jewel toned box.

Mondelez India vice president of marketing Nitin Saini reflected on this milestone, stating, “With Studio creations by Cadbury we’ve reimagined gifting as a tasteful and refined gesture. It’s not just about the chocolates—it’s about the thought and care that goes into choosing something truly special for someone important. The new launch also underscores our commitment towards elevating the premium portfolio; a category that’s growing significantly higher than the overall chocolate category in India.
Our consumers are very conscious of their choice of gifts & see them as an extension of their refined tastes. With Studio creations by Cadbury, we are presenting our consumers an opportunity to Gift a taste of art; making the important ones in their life feel truly cherished. To bring this artistry to our consumers, there was no better choice of brand ambassadors than the super talented & charismatic couple, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Saif Ali Khan.

The film shows how the box of Studio pralines catches attention like a piece of art does.”
Shekhar Banerjee, Chief Client Officer & Office Head, West, North & East, Wavemaker India, states that their strategy centers on launching a premium gifting brand optimized for omnichannel growth. “This approach demands a unique perspective on audience segmentation, media usage, data, and platforms. Key to our campaign was how we segmented premium chocolate consumers, leveraged our Qcom and retail partnerships, and identified strategic corridors that drive impact. These elements were instrumental in crafting a campaign that aligns perfectly with our premium positioning.”
Design Bridge and Partners executive creative director Southeast Asia & India Phil Dall highlighted the strength of their ongoing collaboration with Mondelez, stating, “Studio creations by Cadbury represents the next evolution in our long-standing partnership with Mondelez.

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.
