Snapdeal launches five commercials to ‘Unbox your style’
MUMBAI: Snapdeal has launched five interesting commercials on how fashion has the power to unbox something exquisite in an individual irrespective of the age, gender and lifestyle.
Each of the five commercials focus on a distinct segment and life stage, from working men to a newlywed bride to a bunch of college girls lays emphasis on the transformative power of fashion in a person’s life. The commercials focus on characters who use fashion in pivotal moments of their life to transform & unbox undiscovered sides of themselves.
Each commercial in the series re-emphasises Snapdeal’s focus on building its fashion vertical. The company had recently added 120 more brands on its platform including popular names like United Colors of Benetton, Puma, Nautica, U.S Polo Association and Steve Madden etc. Fashion contributes to almost 40 per cent of Snapdeal’s sales volumes and has grown by 50 per cent YoY with majority of the growth fuelled from tier 1 and tier 2 cities.
Talking about the advertisements, Snapdeal and FreeCharge vice president marketing Kanika Kalra stated, “Fashion as a category is growing exponentially at Snapdeal. We are constantly diversifying our fashion assortment to match the taste and preferences of the dynamic set of fashion consumers. Fashion is uniquely the most personal yet the most public signal when you transition life stages, relationships or mindsets. Taking forward the brand narrative on Unbox Zindagi- these films explore moments where fashion is instrumental to defining a new phase of life.”
Created by McCann WorldGroup, the commercials explore a mélange of life experiences; from group of hip college girls taking their first step into womanhood when they wear their first sarees; three colleagues who have quit their corporate jobs to start their own firm and decide to replace their formal wear with relaxed and casual clothing more in sync with their personalities; a mother-in-law welcoming a new bride to the family by gifting her with modern and fashionable lehenga so she can be comfortable on her wedding day; a new mother returning to her skinny jeans and getting comfortable in her new role as a caregiver and a college boy pampering himself with a makeover after a break up to regain his confidence.
The narration for every commercial has been held together with the new version of the popular Unbox Zindagi jingle, composed by the legendary musicians, Ehsan and Loy. The advertisements will go live across all prominent channels and will be cross promoted via Snapdeal’s Youtube channel, social media platforms and website.
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.
