This week, brands stepped up their storytelling game with campaigns that blended creativity, cultural nuance and clear consumer understanding. Whether it was simplifying a parenting concern, celebrating the honesty of home kitchens, championing accessibility, or driving financial and health awareness, each campaign demonstrated how meaningful narratives can deepen brand connection.
What stood out across sectors was the shift toward human-centred experiences, stories that make people feel seen, understood and included. From humour-led food films and purpose-driven social messages to emotionally rooted home-cooking inspirations, these campaigns showed how relevance paired with authenticity can create lasting impact.
Here’s your roundup of the seven standout campaigns that sparked conversations and captured attention this week.
1. Huggies India
Huggies India brings a fresh lens to a common parental concern with the introduction of the ‘Geelu Monster’, a playful metaphor for lingering wetness on a baby’s skin. The character simplifies the invisible discomfort babies face while highlighting the brand’s claim of “Absorbs in 9 seconds.”
The campaign draws from real parent insights and aims to make wetness awareness more intuitive. With a multi-platform rollout spanning TV, digital, social and influencer activations, the Geelu Monster is set to spark conversations around diaper comfort and care.
2. MasterChow Champions
MasterChow leans into the rising popularity of Asian flavours at home with a film series featuring chef Ranveer Brar. The campaign encourages consumers to switch from ordering in to whipping up bold, flavour-packed dishes in their own kitchens using MasterChow’s sauces, noodles and meal bases.
Capturing relatable, everyday cooking moments, the films highlight the ease and joy of making restaurant-style Asian dishes at home, solidifying the brand’s identity as “Masters of Asian Flavours.”

3. YES BANK
YES BANK’s nationwide credit education campaign, ‘Score Kya Hua’, brings clarity to a topic many consumers find confusing, credit scores. Through a dedicated microsite created with CRIF High Mark, the platform offers free score checks, easy explainers, behavioural insights and interactive tools that show how daily credit decisions shape financial futures.
Four relatable TVCs further illustrate how one credit score impacts life goals, from home loans to entrepreneurial dreams, inviting people across Bharat to take charge of their financial wellbeing.
4. KFC
KFC pairs humour with hunger in its latest Feastival campaign starring Johny Lever. Using his classic comic range, Lever theatrically compares the variety of his personas to the range on KFC’s Rs 299 Feastival menu, featuring favourites like the Chizza, Double Down Burger, Gold Zinger and nine-piece bucket.
The film pushes menu variety as the hero, with a wide digital and in-app rollout ensuring visibility across the brand’s customer touchpoints.

5. EnAble India
Ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, EnAble India released two impactful films that spotlight how inaccessible retail and dining environments limit the experiences of people with disabilities.
A wheelchair user unable to navigate a mall and a visually impaired diner struggling with non-inclusive menus serve as sharp reminders that exclusion isn’t just a social barrier, it’s a market gap.
By reframing persons with disabilities as a significant and underserved consumer base, the campaign urges brands to rethink both design and opportunity.

Arth by Emcure uses the credibility and influence of MS Dhoni to raise nationwide awareness about anemia, a widespread yet under-discussed health challenge in India.
Positioned as a call to invest in one’s long-term health, the campaign aims to spark conversations around nutrition, early diagnosis and preventive care. With iron deficiency affecting millions, the initiative encourages consumers to treat nutrient intake as an essential priority.

7. Mother’s Recipe
Mother’s Recipe takes a heartfelt approach with its new campaign for Ginger Garlic Paste, rooted in the emotion of “Maa sab jaanti hai, maa sach jaanti hai.”
The film celebrates a mother’s instinctive ability to detect what’s real and pure, mirroring the brand’s commitment to honesty and authenticity in its ingredients. The campaign highlights what sets the product apart: it contains only ginger and garlic, with no artificial preservatives and no Sodium Benzoate, making Mother’s Recipe the only player in the category with such purity.
Through a wide-reaching integrated plan, OTT ads on SonyLIV, JioStar and Zee5, hyperlocal visibility through MyGate and lift branding, outdoor placements, in-store displays and influencer collaborations, the brand reiterates its promise of natural flavours and home-style care.
By connecting modern transparency with timeless maternal wisdom, the campaign reinforces why Mother’s Recipe remains a trusted presence in Indian kitchens.
