What looks like a glamorous fashion shoot takes a very unexpected turn.

LG’s Kompressor Plus campaign used a supermodel and a provocative visual to demonstrate the vacuum’s strong suction power. Instead of showing the product in a typical home or relying on a straightforward product demo, the ad turned a simple feature into the main idea.

Created by George Patterson Y&R Sydney, the campaign became a talking point for its unusual approach to showing product performance.

Would this make you remember the product?

Heineken found a simple way to make its iconic star part of the drinking experience.

Its new StarMark glass leaves the shape of the Heineken star on the table when the glass is lifted. Instead of adding another logo or message, the brand built its identity directly into the glass design.

It’s a small detail, but one that makes the brand hard to miss.

Would you notice this if you saw it at a bar?

Nana Patekar’s presence gave Vikram Tea’s iconic “Baap Ko Bhej” ad a personality of its own.

The dialogue, the character and his unmistakable screen presence turned a simple tea ad into something people still remember years later.

As we remember the veteran actor, it’s also worth remembering the memorable advertising moments he brought to Indian screens.

L’Oréal Paris’ “Never Your Fault” campaign challenges the idea that women’s clothes, makeup or appearance are responsible for the harassment they experience in public spaces.

The campaign draws on research conducted by L’Oréal Paris with Ipsos and is part of its Stand Up programme with Right To Be, which focuses on safely responding to street harassment.

The creative takes a familiar beauty category and connects it to a much broader social issue challenging the assumptions often placed on women after harassment happens.

Brands are putting their own spin on the Chile meme, using the country’s distinctive long, narrow shape as a visual idea for product edits and topical social posts.

It’s another example of how brands can take a simple internet moment and adapt it to their own products or visual identity. How brands turned the shape of Chile into a marketing opportunity How brands turned the shape of Chile into a marketing opportunity

Colgate has given an everyday product a Harry Potter-inspired twist, using the iconic Sorting Hat as inspiration for its toothpaste packaging and product experience.

It’s an interesting example of pop culture marketing taking a familiar piece of a fandom and bringing it into a routine product category.

The bigger question is whether the fandom connection is strong enough to make people look twice at something as ordinary as toothpaste. Would Harry Potter fans actually want toothpaste like this?

These speculative OOH concepts explore what happens when brands use the product itself as part of the outdoor advertising idea.

Instead of simply placing a product on a billboard, the concepts use the physical space to extend the message and make the product more noticeable.

For “Man Boobs for Boobs,” MACMA and DAVID, Buenos Aires, used men with prominent breast tissue to demonstrate how women can perform a breast self-examination.

The idea was built around a social media challenge: imagery of women’s breasts could face restrictions, so the campaign used an unexpected visual workaround to communicate the same health message.

Instead of treating the platform limitation purely as a problem, the campaign made that limitation part of the creative concept itself.

A film made on a reported ₹2 crore budget has crossed ₹300 crore worldwide despite not having an established star in the lead.

Its devotional story appears to have connected strongly with audiences, with reports of people performing aarti in theatres and increased interest around Neem Karoli Baba and Kainchi Dham.

From a film-business perspective, the interesting part is how audience connection and word of mouth can become major drivers when a movie doesn't have traditional star power behind it.

This isn’t an official Samsung ad. It’s a fan-made concept imagining how Samsung could use its product to respond to the ongoing smartphone brand rivalry.

What makes it interesting is that the concept can still get people talking about Samsung even though the brand itself didn’t publish it. It also shows how fan-made spec ads can blur the line between brand communication and community creativity.

The Hurun India Rich List 2026 puts Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan among the wealthiest actors featured in the list.

SRK’s estimated wealth stands at ₹10,000 crore, down from ₹12,490 crore last year. Amitabh Bachchan is estimated at ₹4,000 crore, Salman Khan at ₹3,000 crore and Hrithik Roshan at ₹2,500 crore.

The interesting part is that their wealth isn't simply tied to acting. The estimates also reflect businesses, investments and brand ventures associated with the actors — from Red Chillies Entertainment and Knight Riders Sports to HRX and other investments.

GTA 6 hasn’t launched yet, but brands are already using its world and cultural buzz in their marketing.

BMW brought its car into a Vice City-inspired visual, while Turtle Beach placed its gaming gear within the world of Leonida. Instead of waiting for the game to arrive, both brands are using the anticipation around it to become part of the conversation.

It raises an interesting question about entertainment marketing: how early can a brand tap into a cultural moment before the actual product arrives?

Noise CEO & Co-Founder Gaurav Khatri and COO Utsav Malhotra discuss the decisions behind the brand’s growth from whether building Noise was always the plan to choosing its next category and navigating the realities of bootstrapping.

The conversation looks at the strategy and choices involved in taking a homegrown consumer brand from ₹100 crore to ₹1,500 crore and what changes when a brand starts scaling.

Flipkart has taken its Big Billion Days campaign to a metro platform, using the wall across the tracks as a massive OOH canvas.

The placement puts the campaign directly in commuters’ line of sight, with the scale of the wall doing much of the work. It’s a simple example of how the physical environment itself can make an ad harder to ignore.

A hiring policy shared by A1 Sports World founder Karthik SG has sparked debate after he said the company would not hire male candidates from four states.

According to Karthik’s account, the decision followed an alleged incident involving a former employee who had been warned over abusive behaviour towards female employees and was later dismissed. He said the policy was driven by concerns around team safety and the young children the company works with.

The debate, however, goes beyond that incident: critics have questioned whether a candidate’s state of origin is a fair basis for a hiring decision, while others have highlighted the need for employers to take workplace safety seriously.
