New Delhi: Inkspell Media has announced the return of Inkspell Elevate 2026, one of India’s most anticipated gatherings of marketing, branding, advertising, digital and video industry leaders. Scheduled for Friday, 7th August 2026 at The Auditorium, DLF Cyber Park, Gurugram, beginning 3:00 PM onwards, the evening will bring together the brightest minds and most innovative brands shaping the future of marketing and visual storytelling.
The programme will feature two prestigious award platforms that have, over the years, evolved into respected industry benchmarks: the 10th Edition of the mCube Awards, also known as the Masters of Modern Marketing Awards, and the 8th Edition of the vIDEA Awards, the Video Media Awards. Together they recognise excellence, innovation, creativity, strategy and measurable business impact across marketing, digital transformation, content, branding, advertising, media and video production.
Inkspell Elevate 2026 is being supported by a distinguished group of partners who bring specialised expertise and reach to the platform. Approach Entertainment serves as the PR & Communications Partner, Go Spiritual as the Spiritual Partner, Global Trends Forum and India Creative Industries Council as Media Partners, and ED Times as the Blog Partner.
Celebrating its landmark tenth edition, the mCube Awards continues a decade-long legacy of honouring brands, agencies, marketers and business leaders who have redefined modern marketing. The awards spotlight breakthrough campaigns, data-driven strategies, customer engagement, AI-powered innovation and impactful brand experiences that have set new standards in the industry.
In parallel, the vIDEA Awards, now in its eighth edition, celebrates the finest achievements in video media. It recognises outstanding work across branded content, advertising films, corporate communication, digital storytelling, social media videos, entertainment, animation and emerging visual formats that continue to transform the way audiences engage with brands and stories.
Inkspell Elevate 2026 is conceived as far more than an awards ceremony. It is designed as a complete industry experience where thought leadership meets celebration. Guests can expect insightful panel discussions on the future of marketing and video communication, meaningful networking opportunities with senior decision-makers from leading brands and agencies, the felicitation of India’s most impactful marketing and video campaigns, and a grand awards ceremony followed by networking over Hi-Tea.
A key highlight of the evening will be the panel discussion titled “Marketing Without Boundaries: Winning in an AI-First, Creator-Led & Data-Driven World.” Moderated by Dr. Ankoor Dasguupta, Chief Experience Officer at Garage Collective, the conversation will feature Mr. Vikram Singh, Head – Digital Marketing at ITC Hotels; Mr. Ankit Mehrotra, Co-Founder of The Medical Travel Company; and Mr. Gaurav Bansal, Sr. Director & Head of Marketing & Communications at SHRM India, APAC & MENA.
The event is expected to draw CMOs, marketing heads, brand leaders, digital strategists, creative directors, agency leaders, content professionals, filmmakers, video creators, media experts, entrepreneurs and business decision-makers from across the country. In doing so, it will create an unparalleled platform for collaboration, recognition and knowledge exchange.
Speaking about the occasion, an Inkspell Media spokesperson said: “Inkspell Elevate has grown into one of India’s most credible platforms celebrating excellence in marketing and video communications. As we mark the 10th edition of the mCube Awards and the 8th edition of the vIDEA Awards, we look forward to bringing together the industry’s finest innovators, creators and leaders for an inspiring evening of recognition, insights and meaningful networking.”
