June So Far: A Story of Bold Moves and Bright Ideas


We're nearly halfway through June, and the momentum across the OOH landscape shows no signs of slowing down. This month, we've already seen some exciting breakthroughs—both in our own work and across the industry.


Our standout moment so far has been the Defender - Portal Campaign, executed in partnership with Jaguar Land Rover. Spread across India's top cityscapes, the campaign moved from snowfields to desert dunes, bringing the Defender's unmissable spirit to life in two powerful phases. With bold visuals placed strategically in malls, highways, and airports, it wasn't just a campaign—it was a moving experience for audiences.


Beyond our own walls, the marketing world is buzzing with innovation. From Timex doubling down on Gen Z with ₹60 crore in ad spends, to KitKat helping youth “Snap to Decide” with clever interactive storytelling—brands are actively chasing relevance with energy and creativity. At the same time, DOOH continues to redefine how we engage with people in real-time, making each screen smarter, sharper, and more meaningful.


With so much happening already, June is shaping up to be a month of bold ideas and deeper connections. Here's to continuing this momentum—and making every impression count.


Best wishes,

Cover Story

Laqshya Media and JLR Unleash the New Defender Across India's Cityscapes

Jaguar Land Rover India, in collaboration with Laqshya Media Group, has rolled out a high-impact out-of-home (OOH) campaign to mark the launch of the new Defender — a vehicle that doesn't just promise adventure but commands attention. Titled the 'Defender - Portal Campaign', this outdoor blitz has made a bold visual statement across premium sites in key cities across India.

The campaign was structured in two phases. Phase 1 featured a breathtaking snow terrain visual — the Defender cutting across the icy wilderness with a cold, confident power. Phase 2 brought in a complete contrast: the same portal opens to a desert, where the vehicle blazes through golden dunes, underscoring its grit, design, and unstoppable nature.

“With the new Defender, we didn't just want to create another OOH campaign—we wanted to engineer a spectacle that mirrors the vehicle's unstoppable spirit. From snow-clad peaks to sun-baked sands, we designed every touchpoint to make people feel the thrill of adventure and the power of possibility. This campaign isn't just about seeing the Defender; it's about experiencing what it means to be truly unmissable,” said Yuvrraj Agarwaal, Chief Strategy Officer, Laqshya Media Group.
