Google has introduced a new set of AI-powered advertising solutions for businesses in India, with YouTube BrandStack emerging as the centerpiece of the announcement. Unveiled at Google Marketing Live India 2026, the company said the new tools are designed to simplify campaign planning, ad creation, media buying and performance measurement for brands of all sizes.
The launch comes as Google expands the use of its Gemini AI models across its advertising ecosystem. According to the company, the latest capabilities will help advertisers create campaigns faster, reach relevant audiences more effectively and improve marketing performance across Google Search and YouTube.
Speaking during a virtual media interaction, Dan Taylor, Vice President of Global Ads at Google, said AI is creating new growth opportunities for advertisers by improving how businesses connect with consumers based on their intent. He added that Gemini now powers many of these advertising experiences across Google’s platforms.
YouTube BrandStack Brings Campaign Planning Into One Platform
One of the biggest announcements was YouTube BrandStack, an advertising solution conceptualised and built in India. The platform combines campaign planning, media buying and measurement into a single workflow, reducing the need for marketers to manage multiple tools separately.
Google said the solution is aimed at making YouTube advertising more accessible for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises looking to run integrated video campaigns with fewer operational complexities. The company expects the platform to improve efficiency while helping advertisers better evaluate campaign performance.
Google Expands AI Tools Beyond Campaign Management
Alongside YouTube BrandStack, Google announced additional AI-powered advertising features that automate creative generation, campaign optimisation and audience targeting. The company said these tools can help businesses develop ad assets more quickly while adapting campaigns to different customer segments.
The announcement reflects Google’s broader push to integrate generative AI into digital advertising as brands increasingly seek automation without compromising campaign effectiveness. With India remaining one of Google’s fastest-growing advertising markets, the company is positioning AI as a key driver of future marketing growth for businesses across sectors.
