Škoda Auto India Debuts Škoda Super Care with ‘You Never Drive Alone’ Campaign
Škoda Auto India, in collaboration with BBH India, has rolled out a new integrated brand campaign titled ‘You Never Drive Alone’, coinciding with the introduction of its brand-wide service programme, ‘Škoda Super Care’. The initiative marks a strategic move to strengthen customer ownership experience across Škoda Auto India’s entire product portfolio from 2026 onwards.
Designed as a unified service framework, Škoda Super Care brings together multiple ownership benefits aimed at delivering greater confidence, transparency, and value throughout the customer journey. The programme focuses on enhancing long-term ownership assurance by combining warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and structured service offerings under a single umbrella.
At the heart of the launch is the ‘You Never Drive Alone’ brand film, which seeks to translate Škoda’s service philosophy into an emotionally resonant narrative. The campaign reimagines driving not merely as a functional activity, but as an experience defined by comfort and peace of mind. The film follows a couple on a scenic drive, taking a moment to absorb the surrounding natural beauty from the comfort of their car.
Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India said, “Today marks a meaningful step forward in how we support our customers beyond the showroom. Ownership is about confidence, clarity, and value every time a customer drives their car, visits a service centre, or needs support. With Škoda Super Care, we are bringing together best-in-class warranty coverage and roadside assistance for four years, along with four free services, including the Škoda Check-in services at 1,000 and 7,500 Kms. This gives customers an early connect with Škoda service along with affordable & predictable service costs, strong support through the ownership journe,y and the peace of mind they deserve. It’s a simple promise, yet a powerful one.”
Parikshit Bhattaccharya, Chief Creative Officer, BBH India and Propagate India added, "Service is usually communicated through information. We chose to communicate it through feeling. The idea was to visualise support without making it loud, to show that reassurance can exist quietly in the background of a journey.”
Tanishq Unveils Natural Diamonds Collection with New ‘Souls in Symphony’ Campaign
Jewellery brand Tanishq has launched its latest campaign, ‘Souls in Symphony’, to showcase its Natural Diamonds collection. The campaign features actors Sushmita Sen, Ananya Panday, and Radhika Apte, and focuses on themes of friendship, shared experiences, and individuality.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the campaign film is set in a backstage setting and captures interactions between the three actors as they prepare for an event. Through conversations, humour, and everyday moments, the narrative explores contemporary relationships and companionship. A diamond necklace serves as a recurring element, moving between the three characters throughout the film.
Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq said, “At Tanishq, we have always celebrated the many facets of a woman’s journey and the relationships that shape her along the way. With Souls in Symphony, we wanted to spotlight a contemporary expression of sisterhood that is defined not by convention, but by shared values and mutual admiration. Today’s women are forging meaningful connections that transcend age, background, and life stages, creating spaces where individuality is celebrated and one another’s successes are amplified. This campaign reflects that evolving spirit of camaraderie, brought to life through Ananya, Sushmita, and Radhika, three women who embody authenticity and self-expression in their own distinct ways. We celebrate the idea that when women uplift one another, they shine brighter together.”
Shoojit Sircar said, “What stood out to me about Tanishq’s vision for Souls in Symphony was its simplicity and honesty. The idea was not to make a statement about relationships, but to observe them as they naturally unfold through shared moments, humor and unspoken understanding. As a filmmaker, I’m always interested in capturing the authenticity of human connections, and the chemistry between Ananya, Sushmita and Radhika made that possible in a very organic way. Through this film, we wanted to bring alive Tanishq’s celebration of sisterhood and modern-day camaraderie in a manner that feels intimate, relatable and true to life.”
The campaign also marks the introduction of the Tanishq Natural Diamonds collection, which features jewellery crafted using natural diamonds and gemstones across a range of designs.

Pura Partners with Calm to Launch Multi-Sensory Home Fragrance Collection
Home fragrance company Pura has partnered with Calm to introduce the Pura x Calm Collection, a new range designed to combine fragrance and audio content to create wellness-focused experiences within the home.
The collaboration is based on the shared objective of supporting emotional well-being and draws inspiration from Calm’s core themes of sleep, mindfulness, and relaxation. The collection translates elements of Calm’s content into scent-based experiences intended to complement daily routines, including relaxation, focus, and rest.
Each fragrance has been developed using sensory science principles to help create a calming environment and support moments of restoration and mindfulness throughout the day.
The collection was evaluated through third-party testing conducted by Citruslabs. The findings showed that nine out of 10 users reported feeling a sense of calm at home, while eight out of 10 said the fragrances helped create a more relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, three out of four participants reported feeling calmer after using the products.
Bruno Lima, Co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, Pura shared, "At Pura, we believe scent is one of the most powerful ways to influence how we feel in a space. Calm has built a global platform centered on better sleep and mindfulness. Together, we've created a collection that allows people to extend those moments beyond the app and into their everyday environments."
The Pura x Calm Collection features three fragrances inspired by Calm’s content library. Sleep Story, inspired by the Blue Gold Sleep Story narrated by Stephen Fry, combines notes of lavender, chamomile, and soft woods and is designed to support bedtime routines. Breathe Bubble, developed to complement Calm’s guided breathing exercises, blends eucalyptus, mint, and fresh air accords to encourage mindful pauses and help users regain focus during the day. Soundscape, inspired by the Calm River audio experience, incorporates bergamot, marine notes, and eucalyptus to create an environment aimed at promoting balance and clarity.
A key feature of the collaboration is the integration of fragrance and audio content through the Pura app. Users can synchronize scents with Calm’s Sleep Stories, breathing exercises, and soundscapes, with fragrance intensity and duration aligned to the selected content to create a coordinated sensory experience.
"Scent has a unique ability to shift how we feel in an instant, grounding us, calming us, and transporting us. That's what makes our partnership with Pura so exciting," "We're combining that sensory dimension with our Sleep Stories, soundscapes, and breathing exercises in a one-of-a-kind experience that helps people feel more connected to their wellness," stated Joe Lawson, head, licensing, Calm.

Nestasia Launches Campaign to Promote Premium Sipper Bottle Range
Nestasia has unveiled a new marketing campaign to introduce its premium sipper bottle collection, positioning hydration products as an extension of personal style and everyday self-expression.
The campaign film presents a fictional world where people are highly attached to their water bottles, making hydration a regular part of their daily routines. Set primarily in a café, the film uses humour and exaggerated scenarios to explore how product design and aesthetics can influence consumer behaviour.
The advertisement features a range of characters, including a gym enthusiast, a grandmother, a monk, a policeman, and a thief, all waiting in line to use a restroom while continuing to sip from their bottles. In another sequence, women dressed in traditional attire are shown carrying tumblers instead of conventional water pots.
Through these scenarios, the campaign highlights the role of design and individuality in encouraging hydration habits and integrating them more visibly into everyday life.
The campaign also marks the launch of Nestasia’s new sipper bottle range. According to the company, the products are manufactured in India and carry BIS certification.
Aditi M Agarwal, Co-founder, Nestasia said, “People don't struggle to drink water because they don't know it's important. They struggle because hydration isn’t naturally integrated into their lifestyle. When an everyday object becomes beautiful, personal, and expressive, people interact with it more often. We are incredibly proud that our diverse range of bottles is not only beautifully designed but also Made in India and BIS Certified, ensuring uncompromised quality.”
The campaign is currently live across Nestasia’s social media channels and is being supported through advertising on Google, Meta, and Amazon platforms.

Kraus Jeans Enters Micro Drama Space with ‘Denims & Delusions’ Series
Women's apparel and denim wear brand Kraus Jeans has launched “Denims & Delusions”, its first entertainment-led digital content series, as it looks to deepen engagement with consumers through relatable storytelling and short-form content.
The initiative comes at a time when fashion brands are increasingly exploring content-driven strategies to connect with audiences beyond traditional marketing campaigns. With consumers spending more time on social media and engaging with content that reflects everyday experiences, brands are adopting new formats that blend entertainment with brand communication.
Designed as an Instagram-first micro drama series, “Denims & Delusions” explores fashion through situations and conversations that shoppers often encounter in their daily lives. The series focuses on themes such as confidence, decision-making, fashion choices, friendships, and shopping behaviour, presenting them through short-form storytelling intended for digital audiences.
The first season, which launched in the first week of June, consists of six episodes set inside a Kraus showroom in Mumbai. The episodes draw inspiration from common retail and social experiences, covering topics such as situationship dressing, “girl math” shopping decisions, workplace burnout, creator culture, fashion-related dilemmas, and candid conversations between friends.
The narratives are inspired by observations of consumer behaviour and experiences that commonly unfold in stores and social settings. The stories have been adapted into fictionalized scenarios aimed at reflecting the type of content audiences regularly interact with across social media platforms.
Ravi Punjabi, Founder, Kraus Jeans said, “Fashion has always been about more than what people wear; it is also about emotions, confidence, hesitation, excitement, and the little moments that happen around getting dressed. While our products continue to speak for themselves, we also recognise that consumers today engage with brands very differently. Content has become an important touchpoint, and audiences increasingly connect through stories that feel familiar, entertaining, and emotionally honest. With Denims & Delusions, we wanted to create something rooted in experiences our audience would instantly recognise, moments many women have lived through in stores, changing rooms, friendships, and everyday conversations. While the format may sit within the growing microdrama space, for us, this is really about creating a culturally relevant and consistent way to engage with our community through engaging, entertaining, and relatable storytelling.”
Following the completion of the first six episodes, Kraus Jeans is already developing additional content under the series. The move signals the brand’s intent to establish an ongoing entertainment-focused engagement channel as part of its broader digital and consumer outreach strategy.

Favre Leuba Expands Deep Raider Collection with New Day Date Edition
Swiss watchmaker Favre Leuba has introduced the Deep Raider Day Date, expanding its Deep Raider collection with a new model designed for everyday wear while retaining the durability associated with the brand’s dive watches.
The new timepiece features a 40 mm stainless steel case and offers water resistance up to 30 ATM. Alongside its diving capabilities, the watch incorporates a day-and-date display positioned at three o’clock. Users can set the day display in either English or German, with the watch retaining the selected language setting automatically.
A key highlight of the Deep Raider Day Date is its newly designed gradient dial. Available in salmon, green, blue, and burgundy shades, each dial transitions to black toward the six o’clock position. The metallic finish enhances the visual effect, while the ombré styling is intended to reflect changing light conditions throughout the day. The sandwich-style dial construction adds depth to the display and complements the day-and-date complication.
The watch continues the design language of previous Deep Raider Renaissance models. Its 316L stainless steel case combines brushed and polished finishes, while the bezel features a ceramic insert. Favre Leuba has paired the case with a three-link bracelet featuring polished centre links and brushed outer links.
The bracelet is designed with an easy interchangeability system, allowing wearers to switch between the steel bracelet and compatible rubber straps from other Deep Raider Renaissance editions without requiring tools.
Powering the watch is the self-winding FLD05 calibre, based on the Sellita SW-220-1 movement. The crown enables users to adjust the date by rotating it clockwise, while counterclockwise rotation changes the day display and allows selection between English and German language options.
The launch marks the latest addition to the Deep Raider lineup, a collection whose roots date back to 1964 with the introduction of the Deep Blue dive watch. Favre Leuba revived the series in 2024 with the Deep Raider Revival and expanded it further in 2025 with models featuring malachite and meteorite stone dials. Earlier this year, the company also introduced a Power Reserve version.
“The Deep Raider Day Date builds on the versatility that has always defined the collection. By introducing a day-and-date function, we are adding practical everyday utility while preserving the robustness, clarity, and design language that define the Deep Raider today," commented Patrik Hoffmann, CEO of Favre Leuba.

The District drop marks the first opportunity for consumers to access one8’s footwear range. The collection introduces two cricket-inspired sneaker franchises, Seam and Cover Drive, designed around the themes of performance, ambition and self-expression. The brand has also launched Boom Rush, a training shoe aimed at consumers seeking footwear for running and multiple fitness activities.
Abhishek Ganguly, Co-Founder and CEO, Agilitas Sports said, “We are thrilled with the overwhelming response on District. It tells us there is real consumer belief for an Indian high-performance brand with global ambition. The Global Premiere event on June 21 will give these early customers the experience we always envisioned for one8.”
Rahul Ganjoo, CEO, District by Zomato shared, "Experiences are increasingly shaping how India chooses to spend its time and money, and retail is emerging as the next frontier. District and one8 are reimagining shopping by turning product discovery into a shared cultural moment. The response to the one8 Global Premiere - with sneaker enthusiasts and cricket fans traveling from across the country to attend underscores a powerful shift: when a product launch is elevated into a world-class experience, geography becomes irrelevant. People will travel, queue, and commit to be part of it. We are very excited for fans to experience this moment on 21 June.”
Bookings for the one8 footwear collection are currently available through the District app.
