India's Advertising Shifts Toward Influencers and Cross-Industry Brand Collaborations
India's advertising and marketing sectors are evolving with a focus on influencer-driven campaigns and cross-industry brand collaborations. Smaller social media influencers, especially regional and vernacular creators, are seeing increased earnings as brands seek deeper consumer engagement beyond reach. Meanwhile, advertising agencies emphasize delivering business value over media costs amid AI innovations. Cross-category partnerships between brands from different industries are also growing, aiming to reach new audiences and create novel products while sharing marketing expenses.
