We won Silver at MMA India SMARTIES 2026! 

Karix x Myntra Virtual Try-On Studio took Silver in the Personalisation category, and I'm still smiling about it.

The idea came from a question we've all asked while shopping online: "I like it…but, will it actually look good on me?"

So ahead of EORS, instead of sending shoppers yet another "you left something in your cart" message, Myntra let them try the look on. Right inside WhatsApp.

Pick a style, share a selfie in the chat, and see yourself in the outfit. That's it.

People loved it. Many even shared their try-on looks online. And it drove an 11% uplift in conversion compared with non-AI campaigns.

This win seems so personal and so seeing it on stage next to some of India's biggest brands and agencies feels extremely special.

Kudos to the entire team! Shafique Gajdhar Harshali G. Anusha Nambiar Somya Gupta Mohit Pathak

What if a plate could reveal the hunger we don’t see?

We’re pleased to announce that HungerWare Collection: The Plates That Serve Truth, part of India Gate Basmati Rice’s Grains of Hope initiative, has won at MMA India SMARTIES 2026 in the Social Impact Marketing category.

At the heart of the campaign was a striking plate visual that brought the realities of hunger and food insecurity into focus. By turning an everyday dining object into a powerful conversation starter, HungerWare highlighted the importance of child nutrition and our mission of 'Grains of Hope'initiative to support mid-day meals, helping ensure that no child’s aspirations are limited by a lack of nourishment.

Thanks to our agency partner: Wavemaker

Thank you, MMA India, for giving us the opportunity to share a real-world use case of how we’re putting AI to work in marketing at Affinity Global through NucleusLinks by Affinity.
 
There’s so much conversation around AI today, but I think we learn the most when we share what we’re actually doing with it.
 
Really glad we could share our experience, and I hope it gives fellow marketers some ideas and inspiration to explore how AI can make a difference in their own work.
 
We’re all learning as we go, and the more we share, the more we learn from each other!
