This creative fusion pays homage to India’s rich cinematic heritage while spotlighting the evolving landscape of advertising in the country.
The collaboration with The One Show reinforces the ABBY Awards unwavering commitment to global standards of excellence.

Our partnership with The One Show takes this vision global, ensuring our winners are recognized not just nationally but worldwide.”
More than just a campaign, this initiative is a celebration of creativity, culture, and the power of ideas. As the ABBY Awards continue to set the gold standard in Indian advertising, this latest effort underscores The Ad Club’s mission to inspire, elevate, and champion the very best in the business — at home and beyond.
