OPPO shows tips & tricks to capture the real you in new ad
MUMBAI: OPPO, the selfie expert, today announced the launch of its new TVC highlighting the latest addition to the OPPO family – F7. The new TVC aims to reach out to the youth and strike a chord with their love for selfies. It showcases how the selfie expert OPPO F7 is their partner in truest form when they want to capture their real selves. OPPO F7 was recently launched in India with an emphasis on AI powered selfie at a price of Rs 21,990.
OPPO India brand director Will Yang says, “We have always tried to bring the best camera and selfie experience to our consumers and we believe that OPPO F7 will enable the youth to click natural selfies. The TVC takes cues from the current lifestyle trends of the youth, especially their love for clicking selfies and highlights how much goes into taking that perfect selfie. We hope that the TVC finds a connect with the youth.”
OPPO’s marketing and branding initiatives revolve around and focus on youth. The brand focuses on a 360 degree approach to connect with this audience across all platforms – bollywood, lifestyle and sports – all things that today’s youth appreciates. Even brand partnerships and ambassadors are in line with OPPO’s aim to create a deeper connect with the younger generation.
Dentsu Impact chief creative officer Soumitra Karnik adds, “Our film reflects the youth’s way of life – how they have embraced the virtual world and made it their own. Virtual is the new real for this generation – selfies, social media, filters, status updates – it’s all an integral part of life for them. This is their reality and they are unapologetic about accepting that. OPPO phones come with features that help enhance this virtual life of the youngsters and the attempt of our film is to bring this to life.”
The TVC is active on digital and TV.
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.
