Mumbai: Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd, the real estate and infrastructure development arm of the Mahindra Group, today launched a new campaign for their brand promise of “Crafting Life” This campaign aims to emphasise the brand’s dedication to meticulous design and construction, showcasing the careful thought and consideration that goes into creating spaces that nurture customers’ dreams and aspirations for the long term.

The centrepiece of the campaign is a DVC that will be introduced across various digital platforms. This compelling DVC serves as a visual representation of the brand’s core values, demonstrating the meticulous planning, expertise, passion, and dedication that are integral to every Mahindra Lifespaces project, from the initial planning stages to the final construction phase.

The primary objective of the campaign is to establish an emotional connection with the audience, highlighting the brand’s unwavering commitment to creating spaces that transcend mere buildings. It also emphasizes the essence of ‘Karigari’ showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and artistry employed in constructing these exceptional spaces.

Guided by a deep sense of responsibility towards the present and future generations, the brand takes a holistic view of development and focuses on showcasing the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional quality, innovative design, and sustainable development practices.

Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd chief marketing officer Viral Oza said, “The objective of the ‘Crafting Life’ campaign is to reimagine the concept of a home by going beyond the conventional notions of construction. The campaign showcases our efforts to provide a holistic living experience by offering our customers spaces that are thoughtfully designed, environmentally conscious, and where careful craftsmanship is deeply rooted in every element. We believe that a home should be a haven where individuals can thrive, find inspiration, and create lasting memories. The campaign embodies this belief of ours and displays our initiative towards crafting and delivering such spaces to our customers.

As a trusted real estate developer, we recognise the significant role that these spaces play in people’s lives, and our customer-centric approach ensures that every aspect of our offering is designed to enhance their living experience. At Mahindra Lifespaces, our spaces serve as a strong foundation for individuals to build their future”.

Organic by MSL managing director Tushar Bajaj said, “Very rarely does one come across a brand that lives and breathes its promise as Mahindra does. From the very first day of our partnership with the Mahindra Lifespaces team, we have been in awe of their commitment to honing the craft, and their unwavering focus on customer centricity in both design and delivery. Commercial success and customer love are a clear reflection of this DNA.

This exceptional craftsmanship is precisely what inspired us at Organic by MSL to come up with ‘Har Kone Me Karigari Hai’. Every part of the campaign has been designed to emulate the sublime intricacy of the ‘karigari’ itself. Vijay Raaz, also a master of his craft, was the perfect partner to voice the sentiment that we wanted to evoke through the writing. This film is meant to be an ode to the mastery, and to the maestros that create for us these wonderful homes worthy of becoming the centre of our worlds”.

Mahindra Lifespaces’ brand promise manifests itself across the entire value chain. The campaign underscores the brand’s belief that every detail matters and is thoughtfully incorporated to create spaces that cater to the diverse needs and desires of their customers. It features a series of poetic verses, each highlighting a distinct facet of their approach to crafting life. Through this creative approach, the campaign showcases the brand’s unwavering commitment to creating spaces that have a profound positive impact, inspiring and empowering individuals in their life journeys.

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks

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.

Publicis India appoints Sonal Verma as Arc Worldwide MD

MUMBAI: Publicis Groupe India has appointed Sonal Verma as managing director of Arc Worldwide India, handing the reins of its experiential and shopper marketing business to a leader steeped in live brands and real world storytelling.

Arc Worldwide, the Groupe’s specialist arm focused on experiences that nudge consumers from curiosity to checkout, sits at the intersection of creativity, commerce and culture. Verma’s mandate is to sharpen that edge as brands grapple with shorter attention spans and more complicated buying journeys.

Verma joins from Cheil India, where she spent nearly five years building and leading the brand experience practice, most recently as senior vice president and head of brand experience. Her career reads like a tour of India’s experiential landscape, with leadership roles at Momentum Worldwide, Percept D Mark, Blockkbuster Events and Showtime Events.

She has also held senior activation roles at Radio City and The Times of India, giving her a rare mix of agency, media and on-ground execution experience. The common thread has been simple: turning big ideas into moments people remember and talk about.

At Arc Worldwide India, Verma will focus on expanding the agency’s experiential and shopper capabilities, strengthening client partnerships and keeping the work firmly rooted in consumer behaviour rather than buzzwords.

With Verma at the helm, Arc Worldwide is expected to double down on ideas that live beyond screens and closer to everyday life. For an industry obsessed with clicks and scrolls, this is a reminder that sometimes the strongest connections still happen face to face.

Barbeque Nation taps ‘milne ki bhookh’ to kick off the new year

BENGALURU: Barbeque Nation is ringing in the new year with a reminder that some cravings cannot be ordered online. The casual dining chain has rolled out a new film campaign, milne ki bhookh, pitching its restaurants as places to meet, reconnect and linger over food.

Set against a world of constant messages and missed meet-ups, the campaign leans into a simple truth: dining out remains one of the few rituals that still brings people together. Barbeque Nation positions itself as the excuse and the setting for real conversations, shared plates and unhurried moments.

Nakul Gupta, cmo at Barbeque Nation, says the brand has long been about shared celebrations. As the year turns, milne ki bhookh captures what he calls a growing hunger to meet, connect and spend time together, with food at the centre of that experience.

Created by Makani Creatives, the campaign comprises three films built around Barbeque Nation’s signature grills and desserts. The storytelling is deliberately sensorial, designed to spark cravings while nudging diners to step out and meet in person.

Pavan Punjabi, chief integration officer at Makani Creatives, says the idea stems from a familiar contradiction. People are constantly connected, yet meetings with loved ones are endlessly postponed. Milne ki bhookh, he says, is a gentle push to make time for real-life catch-ups, using food as the reason to come together, share a meal and create memories.

The campaign breaks on December 25 with the grilled prawns film and will run for two months, amplified across digital platforms. As the new year begins, Barbeque Nation is betting that the strongest appetite of all is not for food alone, but for each other.
