Veet’s new campaign celebrates the beauty in spontaneity
MUMBAI: Depilatory products company, Veet, has launched its new campaign #Unpose that celebrates the beauty and confidence of every woman. The campaign focusses on creating an attitude shift towards believing that women are most beautiful when they are natural and spontaneous.
The campaign will be revealed as a contest, with brand ambassador, Shraddha Kapoor urging every girl to #Unpose through a video message. Four lucky winners of the photo contest will get the opportunity to be the cover girl of the leading lifestyle and fashion magazine, Cosmopolitan.
Beauty is often associated with posing perfectly. However, Veet believes that every woman radiates beauty from within. When natural emotions are captured candidly, they show a beautiful and confident woman shedding all inhibitions and being true to herself. With this campaign, Veet wants to reach out to all of them who feel they need to have that “perfect selfie” to share with the community and encourage them to accept their natural self with #Unpose which embodies confidence and comfort.
Reckitt Benckiser South Asia Health chief marketing officer Pankaj Duhan says, “Veet has always celebrated beauty and confidence. We have always encouraged women to shed their inhibitions and showcase their true self to the world. We are extremely proud to introduce our new campaign #Unpose – with which we aim to make every girl live without inhibitions; starting with posing for a photo without inhibitions. We are excited to partner with youth platforms Voot and Hauterfly in spreading the message. We are hopeful that we can inspire women to change how they feel about themselves and become even more confident.”
Veet brand ambassador and Bollywood actor Kapoor adds, “I am super excited to be a part of such an exciting campaign with Veet #Unpose. I believe that every woman should be comfortable with her carefree self. Veet is celebrating you being you-unposed and spontaneous. So don’t wait just #Unpose and share a photo of the gorgeous you as you.”
The campaign will kick start with a contest after Veet shares the #Unpose campaign video featuring Kapoor. The campaign will be open for women to share their pictures till 15 June 2018.
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.
