Platinum Evara’s campaign for new collection inspired by nature
MUMBAI: Beyond her choice of couture, and wedding planning, the bride of today has come a long way in defining and knowing what she expects from her marriage. Armed with an education, a career and the empowering independence it brings, her choices and decisions are her own. She values traditions, rituals & set practices but has the ability to question and not blindly follow them. She seeks an equal partnership from her spouse-to-be and expects supportive in-laws – a true extension of her own family & support system.
Earlier this year, Platinum Guild International (PGI) – India in its campaign “MyFirstEvara” celebrated this new-age bride’s “rare firsts” – her new beginnings as she moves into a new phase of her life, tuning herself to a new atmosphere, fostering newer relationships, embarking on a fresh journey and adapting to multiple roles. Her “rare” first moments & interactions charged with emotional meaning, occupy a special place in her heart. They form the founding blocks of her life’s new journey & are hence embedded in her memory forever. This season Platinum Evara celebrates another chapter in that course. The bride of today looks at her ‘first moments’ in her own way – being true to herself, her values & beliefs. She faces many societal challenges & expectations but she confidently negotiates them while expressing what truly matters to her. Without dismissing existing norms or rebelling without a cause – she stands assertive, optimistic & yet carries people along.
One instance of a bride’s journey has been captured in a beautiful new film bringing alive this season’s #MyFirstEvara. The film opens with a scene where a mother-in-law is checking out a new house. This is the house that the daughter in law wants to move into to start her own journey. It captures the emotions that come along with a decision that has clearly not been easy on her – but one that she believes in & must follow. She stands up to her decision & is delightfully surprised when her mother-in-law reassures her that it is indeed the right one to make. The mother in law in fact backs her by telling her that “young couples need their space”. She helps her tide over her apprehensions comforting her & saying physical distance can never come in the way of a real connection! This special moment between them is marked with something rare – a piece of Platinum Evara.
It marks the launch of a new collection from Platinum Evara inspired by Nature – a true tribute to the bride of today. Like the forms in nature, dynamically evolve, renew, transform and yet coexist with other life forms – leaving their mark, so does the bride of today. She breaks away from typical stereotypes and blossoms in her life after her wedding. This design theme hence mirrors her life stage.
Speaking on the campaign, PGI director, consumer marketing Sujala Martis said, “The bride of today is no longer hesitant, nervous & full of self-doubt. She values her roots but always seeks newer possibilities of progressive change. She faces societally imposed norms yet, confidently negotiates them while expressing what truly matters to her. Our new collection inspired by nature is a tribute to her and this very outlook of hers”.
“Modern women don't go by the stereotypes of a daughter-in-law and her relationship with her in-laws. It's a change that's the need of the hour and these brides of today aren't afraid to change societal norms. This campaign pays tribute to the women who have the rare qualities to go against the stream with nature-inspired platinum jewellery, marking these major milestones in her newlywed life,” said Dentsu Webchutney ECD Aalap Desai.
The endearing new integrated digital and marketing campaign is currently live to promote the all-new range of Platinum Evara jewellery. The campaign is a 360-degree program led by a digital film and supported by a robust communication plan that includes Print, Digital, OOH and PR across markets to ensure high reach and frequency. The content across these mediums are focused to drive awareness and visibility for the new collection.
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.
