Priyanka Chopra stars in first TVC for Parle Agro’s Fizz portfolio
MUMBAI: Beverage company Parle Agro has strengthened its positioning in the sparkling fruit drink category by rolling out a multi-media campaign for its Fizz portfolio. The brand’s Appy Fizz and B-Fizz offerings are all set to go big with a first-ever television commercial.
The film, featuring national brand ambassador Priyanka Chopra and leveraged in the south with superstar Jr NTR, is already on air and will be aired across national and regional channels.
Parle Agro’s summer campaign for 2021 is set to build the Fizz portfolio further and position it as the next big super duo brand in the beverage industry. It plans on generating tremendous buzz with an aggressive multimedia campaign, including TV, OOH and digital.
“Our brand ambassadors are not only the biggest and most celebrated icons in their fields, they also complement the leadership position of Parle Agro’s fizz brands as well. With the collective effort of this massive launch for our Fizz portfolio, we aim to double our market share in the sparkling fruit drink category in the coming year,” said Parle Agro joint managing director & CMO Nadia Chauhan.
The TVC this year will also have a strong focus on digital strategy and engagement as Parle Agro invests in IPL to a large degree. With B-Fizz being a youth-centric brand, and IPL being a cricket format favoured by the youth, Parle Agro believes this digital partnership with IPL on Hotstar will generate the right reach.
Plans are underway to expand B-Fizz’s SKU to reach new audiences and to expand the brand’s footprint. This will help Parle Agro build new opportunities that will further bolster the positioning of B-Fizz.
&Walsh, the creative agency for Parle Agro, has led the campaign narrative for the television commercials, print and digital. The films have been produced by Superlounge, LLC, New York, USA along with Scissor Films and directed by John Poliquin.
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.
