ETBWS 2025: The consumer funnel is collapsing; discovery and purchase are happening all at once
Consumer journeys are increasingly non-linear, and the boundaries between entertainment and commerce are dissolving by the day. Today, consumers stream, search and shop seamlessly across multiple platforms. For marketers, this presents new opportunities to influence purchase decisions and foster brand affinity at every touchpoint. Neha Markanda , head of industry, e-commerce, Google India, took the stage at the 7th edition of the Brand World Summit , organised by ETBrandEquity, to discuss this dynamic consumer landscape. Effectively engaging audiences, she noted, requires understanding how attention spans stretch and splinter across media channels. Highlighting the meteoric rise of cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi after his IPL performance, Markanda said, 'Suryavanshi's rise turned into an overnight sensation, thanks to the internet rallying behind his achievements. Within hours, more than 25,000 pieces of content were created about him, amassing over a billion views. But the story does not end there. Today's unpredictable consumers are not confined to a single platform like live cricket or the IPL. They are constantly searching, streaming and scrolling, often simultaneously.' Consumer engagement now extends far beyond the action of a live cricket match. To remain relevant, brands must meet audiences across a variety of touchpoints and moments. With attention spans shortening, it is particularly notable that short-form video content, once synonymous with mobile, is increasingly consumed on large television screens as well. Short-form video has emerged as a powerful new-age tool for impact, particularly during the two to three high-value occasions each year when brands seek to be seen, heard and drive measurable outcomes. The traditional notion of the consumer journey as a linear funnel is rapidly collapsing. It is no longer a simple progression from awareness to purchase. Instead, the journey is fragmented, dynamic and ever-evolving, more like a map of influence than a funnel, challenging brands to identify where and how to create meaningful interactions that deliver results. Today's consumers are not just passive viewers; content actively fuels their curiosity, prompting deeper and more frequent research into brands. Beyond the sheer volume of research, the nature of search itself is shifting. Queries are longer, more complex and often conversational. 'This transformation is powered in large part by AI,' Markanda emphasised. 'AI Overviews are now available in over 100 countries, with more than a billion global users each month tapping into them to explore, discover and make decisions in an intuitive, conversational manner.' For Generation Z, search has become a critical touchpoint in the shopping journey, serving as a launchpad for new brands, price points and product line extensions. However, this shift poses a challenge: how can marketers keep pace with the sheer velocity of change in the digital ecosystem? Unlike physical retail, where a display window can be carefully curated, the online marketplace is a perpetually evolving environment with millions of products in a constantly updating feed. Here, AI becomes a key enabler. Rather than deploying large teams to manually craft detailed product descriptions, AI can automate and optimise product listings, boosting both accuracy and efficiency. 'Once brands deploy AI tools , they can dramatically improve product discoverability. I encourage every marketer to explore how AI can be leveraged across three core objectives: relevance, measurement and creativity,' Markanda concluded.

Lenovo teams up with Bumrah and Mythpat to ‘damn the odds'
Lenovo , the global technology powerhouse, has announced the launch of its latest brand campaign, ' Damn the Odds ,' featuring Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah and gaming creator Mithilesh Patankar, popularly known as Mythpat . With this campaign, Lenovo formally introduces both icons as brand ambassadors, strengthening its connection with India's next generation of creators, gamers and achievers, the press release shared with ETBrandEquity stated. Built on the insight that pressure is not new to this generation – from academic expectations and side hustles to social image and hyper-competition – 'Damn the Odds' highlights how Gen Z thrives under pressure with the right tools. With Lenovo's AI-powered innovation across gaming and productivity, the campaign positions technology not just as a support system, but as a performance multiplier. The campaign films bring this narrative to life: In the film, Bumrah trains in a futuristic AI-powered lab, analysing every angle of his wrist movement and ball trajectory. With detailed simulations and real-time comparisons, Lenovo AI Now helps him decode his movements and enhance his delivery – proving how smart training and AI insights can translate into game-day results. From growing up in a simple household in Ahmedabad, Bumrah to become the only bowler to be ranked number one across all cricket formats, rewriting the rulebook with his unique action and discipline. Tech has played a role in his evolution – not just in game prep, but in building resilience. Similarly, Mythpat's journey from engineering intern to digital celebrity wasn't conventional. By combining tech-savviness with comedic storytelling, he built a 16-million-strong YouTube community and became the first Indian to be nominated twice at the Streamy Awards . He didn't just pivot careers – he built a genre of his own. Chandrika Jain, director – marketing, Lenovo India said, 'This campaign brings alive the spirit of ' Damn the Odds ' by celebrating individuals who hustle hard and use smart tools to go further, faster.' Bumrah added, 'Whether it's cricket or life, preparation is everything. Tech today helps break down the micro-movements, identify areas of improvement, and sharpen instincts. Data and analytics have become a core part of modern cricket. What stood out to me about Lenovo's AI-powered approach is how personal it feels - it's built around how I train, think and perform.' With 'Damn the Odds,' Lenovo aims to deepen its leadership in India's AI PC and gaming ecosystems, both of which are rapidly expanding among Gen Z users. The campaign also reinforces Lenovo's global legacy in sports and esports , with past and ongoing partnerships including FIFA, F1, MotoGP and now, a growing focus on cricket and gaming in India.
