Otrivin unveils a new digital campaign
Mumbai: Otrivin, the leading nasal spray brand in India has launched a mobile-first digital campaign featuring four compelling films. Through these films, the brand not only communicates the core benefits of fast relief and long-lasting relief from blocked nose but also drives education about nasal sprays as a format in a fun and interesting way.
In these films, Otrivin portrays how some of the key life moments get impacted due to blocked nose where people seek advice from their family and friends on chat groups. Amongst the plethora of remedies shared, Otrivin Oxy Fast Relief is suggested which not only starts to work in 25 seconds1 but also provides relief up to 12 hours2 and hence is recommended. The new mobile-first digital campaign by Otrivin will be launched on all Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, along with YouTube.
Speaking on the new campaign, Haleon India (erstwhile GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) category head – pain & respiratory health Bineet Jain said, “We are excited to launch this new digital campaign that draws inspiration from behaviour of people on group chats of popular messaging platforms. Our endeavour is to educate the consumers that Otrivin provides quick and long-lasting relief from blocked nose, without having to compromise on the key moments of life. We hope to enable more people to breathe their best.”
Nash8 – a new independent creative venture has conceptualised and built this campaign. Nash8 creative director & founder Nasheet Shadani expressed his enthusiasm for the launch of the campaign, saying, “We’re thrilled to partner with Haleon on Otrivin’s brand journey and launch this ‘built for mobile’ digital campaign. A blocked nose can be a major irritant and hinder the normal course of life. The new campaign is designed keeping in mind the online behaviour of the target audience. People use popular messaging platforms to solicit advice from their friends and family. In a category led by functional communication, this campaign presents the brand message in an interesting way. The idea is to engage the audience with fresh creatives.”
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.
