Emami Ltd., a leading Indian FMCG company, has launched “DermiCool Warriors,” the nation’s first fully AI-generated advertisement for its flagship prickly heat powder brand, DermiCool. This 30-second digital film reimagines the classic jingle “Aaya Mausam Thande Thande DermiCool Ka” within a futuristic, fantasy-inspired narrative powered entirely by generative AI.
🎬 A Sci-Fi Twist on Summer Relief
Departing from traditional summer advertisements, “DermiCool Warriors” introduces viewers to a mythical universe where “Ghamoriya” monsters symbolize prickly heat and itchy skin rashes. These adversaries are vanquished by heroic DermiCool Warriors armed with the cooling power of Neem and Tulsi. The AI-generated visuals offer a fresh take on storytelling while reinforcing the product’s core benefits.
🤖 Behind the Scenes: AI-Powered Production
The campaign was conceptualized and executed in just 30 days through a collaboration between creative agency Wondrlab and AI partners TopScout Pvt. Ltd. and Crushed Studios. All AI tools used were legally licensed, ensuring ethical compliance in the creative process.
📺 Strategic Objectives and Brand Positioning
Emami’s approach targets the intersection of brand heritage and digital innovation. By leveraging AI, the company aims to reinvigorate an established product with contemporary creative techniques. The campaign also sets out to destigmatize the use of AI in mainstream advertising by showcasing how it can deliver immersive, visually engaging content without compromising authenticity.
