Mondelez rolls out a global campaign for Oreo
MUMBAI: Oreo, the cream sandwich biscuit brand by Mondelēz International, takes the special ritual of ‘Twist, Lick, Dunk’ forward, rolling out its new global campaign called, Oreo People, simultaneously across 50 markets in AMEA, LA, MEU and will be localised with nuances to drive relevance.
The new global creative platform is the latest installment of the brand’s Wonderfilled campaign. Oreo People is built on the idea that when we connect with Oreo, playfulness is evoked in us all despite differences, playing with Oreo brings people together. Every time an Oreo cookie is twisted and opened, a new playful side comes out which is optimistic with limitless possibilities.
The campaign is especially designed to engage with consumers in today’s multi-screen, short-attention-span world with exciting visuals and irresistible music, extending across all channels, with a strong focus on digital.
The new TVC displays a wide-cross section of people and how they enjoy their Oreo cookies, making the much-loved brand relevant to them. With this latest creative platform, Mondelez India aims to widen the appeal of the brand in the country, while continuing to play on its core territory.
Mondelez India head of biscuits category Sudhanshu Nagpal says, “Oreo was introduced in India close to seven years back and in such a short span, India has emerged among its top-five markets by volume. Today, twist, lick, dunk has become a ritual; it has been at the heart of numerous warm family moments. Oreo has always stood for bringing people together and the Oreo People campaign takes ahead this proposition. The campaign is based on a key universal insight that while we all share the same playful spirit inside, we often forget about it because of the pressures of modern life. The global campaign aims at widening the appeal of the brand, connecting with a wide cross-section of people, while picking up on the local nuances to drive relevance.”
FCB regional chief client officer for Asia Jane Lim adds, “Oreo has always been a brand that encourages and inspires people to connect with the people and world around you. When we were kids, playing together was our way of communicating, we connect better when we play together. We believe everyone has a playful spirit waiting to be let out. With this film we tell the story that no matter our differences, playing with Oreo brings us together, because we are all Oreo People.”
The campaign will be rolled out across platforms with a new TVC, as well as outdoor, print and digital campaigns across sections.
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.
