This week’s campaigns are all about clever stories that feel real and fun. Imagine weddings where old phones replace cash gifts, or a pen that turns a student into a classroom hero. Beauty gets a fresh twist with honest chats, and Pride shines bright in the most colorful, unexpected ways. From quirky films to fashion emergencies and phones that capture every adventure, these ads show that when stories are smart and simple, they stick with you.
Cashify
Cashify’s latest campaign is a hilarious yet spot-on take on desi wedding traditions, with a cheeky twist. Imagine this, the dulha rolls in, not with a cash-stuffed sehra, but wearing a ‘garland of old phones’. Guests show up not with lifafa, but with their dusty, forgotten smartphones wrapped like wedding gifts. It’s the ultimate plot twist in the big fat Indian wedding.
But behind all the wedding chaos and chuckles is a genius metaphor of old phones as “uncashed currency.” It’s clever, it’s commercially sharp, and it hits home. We’ve all got that drawer of digital fossils, Cashify just gave them a standing ovation. The ad walks the tightrope between satire and social commentary without ever getting preachy, turning a resale plug into a full-on cultural moment.
DOMS
DOMS hits the sweet spot between school-time hustle and cheeky humor with its latest INXON pen campaign. Vicky is the kid we all know who somehow manages to breeze through his studies, chill with friends, and still have time to spare. The whole class is buzzing with one burning question, “Vicky ko itna time kaise milta hai?”
It’s clever, it’s catchy, and it’s got all the makings of a schoolyard legend. The twist is, Vicky’s secret weapon isn’t a magic trick, it is his pen. The DOMS INXON glides so smooth, it practically races across the page. The campaign doesn’t lecture about productivity or pressure. It flips the narrative, making speed cool and effort feel light.
With playful storytelling and a big wink at classroom competitiveness, DOMS serves up a campaign that’s fun, fast, and fantastically on point for students and parents alike. This one’s got viral ink written all over it.
Foxtale
Foxtale’s latest video steps away from the usual polished beauty ads and leans into something more real, relaxed, and refreshingly offbeat. Featuring the unlikely duo of Neena Gupta and Orry, the film captures a dressing-room chat that’s part skincare talk, part cultural exchange, and entirely entertaining. Neena, with her grounded wisdom, and Orry, with his high-energy flair, make for a dynamic pairing that highlights how beauty and self-expression mean different things to different generations. Their back-and-forth feels spontaneous and honest, which gives the product placement, Orry’s plug for Foxtale’s Super Glow Face Wash, a natural fit within the conversation.
The campaign challenges beauty stereotypes without trying too hard. By focusing on personality and unscripted connection, Foxtale builds a narrative that’s more about being comfortable in your own skin than chasing trends. It’s a soft, smart take on how skincare can be personal and cultural in the best possible way.

Nasher Miles x Myntra
Nasher Miles’ Pride campaign is a beautiful celebration of identity and it doesn’t just show its colors, it owns them. With drag performer and artist Lauren Robinson at the helm, the campaign ditches the generic rainbow-washing and dives into something far more personal- the power of self-expression, visibility, and living out loud.
The standout moment? A rainbow baggage carousel at Goa Airport that turned a routine airport scene into a vibrant statement. It’s clever, it’s unexpected, and it ties perfectly into the brand’s tagline that goes “Labels belong on luggage, not people.” That line alone deserves its own spotlight. Miles delivers a Pride campaign that feels authentic, stylish, and rooted in real allyship. It rises up from just being an inclusive branding to the inclusive storytelling done right, from runway to carousel.

Montblanc
When Montblanc teams up with Wes Anderson, you don’t just get an ad; you get a full-blown cinematic universe in a snow-dusted frame. ‘Let’s Write’ is everything you’d expect from the master of symmetry and quirk: meticulously framed shots, deadpan delivery, vintage palettes, and a fictional high-altitude library that feels straight out of The Grand Budapest Hotel’s cooler cousin.
But what really sets this campaign apart is its delightful self-awareness. Characters break the fourth wall, openly discussing the campaign’s themes and slogans, turning the ad into a tongue-in-cheek homage to the act of writing itself. It’s storytelling about storytelling, and somehow, a luxury pen ends up stealing the scene. By placing the Montblanc pen at the heart of this whimsical world, the brand transforms a writing tool into a symbol of timeless creativity. It’s a part ad, part art film, and wholly brilliant. Montblanc isn’t just selling pens, they’re selling a mood, a moment, and a little bit of movie magic.
Myntra
Myntra’s M-Now campaign is a fast-paced, fashion-fueled sprint through chaos and it works totally. Set in a courtroom that’s teetering on the edge of disaster (and bad outfits), the film whips up a stylish storm of panic, humor, and perfectly timed transformations.
With razor-sharp performances from Sumukhi Suresh, Vihaan Samat, and a cast of relatable, quirky characters, the ad captures the thrill of fashion emergencies in a way that feels fresh and genuinely funny. It’s not just about delivery speed, it’s about delivering confidence, style, and that last-minute glow-up we all secretly wish for. By turning wardrobe malfunctions into mini-adventures, Myntra transforms a simple service into a Gen Z dream of fashion that keeps up with life’s chaos. It’s witty, wearable, and wonderfully on trend.
OPPO
OPPO’s ‘Aawara Life’ campaign is a cinematic love letter to spontaneity, drenched in nostalgia, friendship, and freedom. With Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ishaan Khatter, and Pooja Hegde ditching the corporate grind for a soul-refreshing mountain escape, the film taps into a universal craving to break free and live unfiltered.
The reimagined “Aawara Hoon” track hits all the right emotional notes, setting the tone for a journey that’s as much about rediscovery as it is about documentation. The OPPO Reno14 is not just a phone, but the fourth companion, capturing every candid laugh, windswept selfie, and memory in the making.
What makes this campaign soar is how effortlessly it weaves product features into a story you actually want to watch. From its 50MP AI camera to water-resistant design, the tech never feels forced, it just feels like part of the adventure. With rich visuals, raw emotion, and a touch of wanderlust, Aawara Life blurs the line between ad and indie film, proving that when storytelling meets smart tech, magic happens.
