Overview

The brand game hasn’t just changed. The rules are being rewritten in real time.
Budgets are back. Campaigns are bigger. But consumer trust? That’s harder to earn and even harder to hold. In a year shaped by creator-led storytelling, regional cultural surges, and AI-driven marketing at scale, brands are confronting a tougher question than ever: Are we making noise, or are we making impact?
India’s advertising market is set to hit $15.78 billion in 2025, led by TV & video, but rapidly shifting toward digital and programmatic dominance.
FE BrandWagon Conclave 2025 brings India’s most influential marketers, advertisers, and media strategists under one roof to reset the conversation. This year’s theme “The Great Brand Reset” dives deep into what makes modern brands stick in a fragmented, fast-moving landscape.
