Stationery brand Youva gears up to welcome students back to school, launches new campaign
Mumbai: Youva, the leading stationery brand from the house of ‘Navneet Education’, is geared up to welcome the students with a newly designed brand new stationery range supported by a Back to School campaign.
Launching the campaign, Youva’s Chief Strategy Officer and spokesperson Abhijit Sanyal said, “With students coming back to school, we thought about celebrating this event by launching a brand new campaign, “Happy hoke chale school hum”. We have created an exciting film with our digital agency ‘ants digital’ that expresses the joy of children returning to school. The all-new product range and the new BTS campaign will help students to re-connect with classrooms and return to normalcy. There are challenges that we are facing as far as paper cost goes and we have taken every effort to minimize passing on the burden to our customers. But witnessing this sight of kids going back to school has created a huge sense of excitement for all of us.”
Commenting on the launch of the brand film, Ants Digital CEO Sanjay Arora said, “this is one of our best films that has come alive. The whole film is a narrative of all mothers who are seeing the journey of their children in these last two years and the new excitement that is experienced by kids while preparing to go back to school. We had great fun creating this film and we are sure all the kids and their parents will love this.”
The lockdowns and restrictions have hampered the children’s learning process and academic life for the past two years. Several important activities like physically coming to the classroom, interacting with the teacher, exercising and playing at the playground with fellow students were not experienced by them during this period.
As a student brand, Youva has revamped its stationery range like Notebooks, Drawing books, Paint brushes, Crayons, Poster colours, Practical books, Geometry boxes and various such products with new designs and vibrant looks to welcome the children back to school.
Stationery is most shared when students are together (apart from the lunch boxes though) and they do the most unimaginable things with it. More importantly stationery creates bonding between students when at school. The new Youva campaign is an apt metaphor for this insight.
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.
