Pescafresh launches ‘Fresh Matlab Live’ campaign for Pescalive
Mumbai: D2C seafood and meat brand Pescafresh has rolled out a new campaign “Fresh Matlab Live.” The new campaign focuses on promoting the world’s first live digital market in the seafood and meats category – Pescalive.
The campaign is live in Mumbai and Pune and will target more than 50,000 households with door tag branding and 7,000 no-parking boards across the two cities.
The focus is to create visibility, attract people’s attention, and acquire potential customers through an attractive offer. In the first phase of the activity, Goregaon (East and West), Thane, Andheri (East and West) and Powai will be covered.
In Pune, the target areas are Baner, Magarpatta, and Koregaon Park. An online BTL brand activation is also being done at the society gates in these areas.
Pescafresh has fully equipped fulfilment centres across Mumbai and Pune, and the BTL logistics plan has been designed keeping in mind the same.
Speaking on the campaign, Pescafresh founder Sangram Sawant said, “We wanted to penetrate into customers’ homes with the right messaging, but without being too intrusive, which is why we chose this medium. The main objective of this campaign is to put the spotlight on the Pescalive platform and communicate the brand message to the customers. The idea is not only to be seen by the target audience but to create a top-of-mind brand recall.”
Till now, we have had more than 75 live sessions on Pescalive, which streams on our app daily. We are committed to bringing transparency to all our buyers and ensuring that what they see on our digital platforms is exactly what they receive, quality-wise. Using technology in the right way to focus on customer delight will be our key to success. It is like having a shop in your living room,” he added.
All Pescafresh products are packaged in vacuum bags and sent in temperature-controlled boxes to the customers. Recently, the brand has added the ‘chicken deli’ meats range to its product line.
On Pescalive, the brand has started influencer editions, live cooking sessions with renowned chefs, interactions with food bloggers, and more. Customers get to see the right tips for buying seafood, hacks to cook, and other information on Pescafresh products.

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
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.
