TLDR: DigiPlus Fest ’25 is set to revolutionize customer loyalty by moving beyond traditional methods, focusing on game-changing insights, particularly in short-form video advertising and AI-driven personalization. The event highlights the critical need for brands to adapt to shrinking attention spans and leverage data for measurable business outcomes.
Mumbai, India – September 27, 2025 – The highly anticipated DigiPlus Fest ’25 is poised to redefine customer loyalty, shifting the paradigm from conventional approaches to a future driven by game-changing insights and advanced technological integration. The event, which includes key discussions held on September 22, 2025, and a main summit scheduled for November 27, 2025, in Mumbai, brings together industry leaders to explore innovative strategies in digital marketing and customer engagement.
A central theme emerging from the discussions is the mastery of short-form video advertising, a critical challenge in an era of rapidly shrinking attention spans. During a panel discussion titled “Cracking the Short-Form Video Advertising Code” at the seventh edition of DigiPlus Fest 2025 on September 22, marketing leaders delved into how brands can effectively leverage concise content. Speakers included Ashutosh Chaudharie, General Manager – Consumer Marketing, VI John Group; Bhavin Devpuria, Head Marketing, Triumph Lingerie; Bharat Sethi, Founder & CEO, Rage Coffee; and Kapil Mittal, Co-Founder & CSO, Power Gummies.
Kapil Mittal of Power Gummies underscored the intense pressure on brands, noting, “Six seconds seems like a complete feature film and you need to get that thumb rolling stop in three seconds.” This reality necessitates a fundamental shift in content creation, demanding compelling visual narratives that convey complex brand messages in mere moments. Ashutosh Chaudharie further elaborated on the importance of “selling the transformation or that confidence which comes after grooming” rather than just products, especially in intimate categories, as shorter formats demand a focus on relatable end benefits.
The business impact of these innovative approaches was clearly demonstrated by Power Gummies, whose campaign featuring Shraddha Kapoor achieved an impressive 6.5% conversion rate, significantly surpassing the industry average of 2.5%. This success highlights that creative risk-taking, when aligned with brand values, can lead to superior performance.
DigiPlus Fest ’25 also emphasizes the transformative role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of digital marketing. The agenda for the main event in November includes sessions such as “Future of Performance Marketing: Leveraging AI for Better Conversion Rates” and “Data-Driven In-App Marketing: AI for Predictive Targeting and Retention.” These topics underscore the growing reliance on AI for personalized customer experiences and optimized marketing campaigns.
According to a report highlighted at the event, digital advertising in India experienced a robust 20% year-over-year growth, reaching ₹49,000 crore in FY2024-25, now accounting for 44% of total ad spends. Mobile, social media, and online video remain dominant platforms, with FMCG and e-commerce leading sectoral investments. Key emerging trends include short-form content, AI-driven personalization, and Connected TV ads, indicating a dynamic and rapidly evolving digital landscape in India.
