A tree plantation drive built as a content campaign
A corporate plantation drive is easy to announce and hard to make anyone care about, so this one was built as content from the start. Prana Vanam was produced as a film campaign, with public figures brought into the shoot and the invitation framed as a line anyone could repeat, that we plant life together. The assets were cut for social distribution rather than for a press release, which is where a purpose message either travels or dies.
Producing the drive as film first gave it something to be shared, and bringing recognisable faces into the shoot gave social audiences a reason to stop. The output stays useful beyond the planting itself, as a library the brand can run against for the length of the initiative.
Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.

FMCG advertising in India
Television is the sector’s leading medium, taking 67.4% of ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025. Hindustan Unilever leads on 8.4% of that spend, 4.2% of the sector’s ads run on digital, and 4,343 advertisers were still active in January 2026.
Where the volume moved, quarter by quarter
Ad volume indexed against the opening quarter = 100, inside one collection batch. The 2026 exports are not on the same footing, so the trend stays within the 12 months to September 2025 rather than crossing that boundary.
Up 4% on the opening quarter.
Up 72% on the opening quarter.
Down 31% on the opening quarter.
Ads recorded per quarter across the 12 months to September 2025, indexed to Oct-Dec 24. Media with too few ads to compare are left out.
The preferred medium
Television captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 67.4% of estimated television, print and radio spend. Digital sits outside this split because TAM prices it on a different scale; it is reported by ad count instead.
A plan that skips television buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.
