Campaigns we have run for brands like Audi
A campaign we planned, booked and photographed for another advertiser in Auto, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.
A brand launch event for an on-demand mechanic app
A service app has nothing to show until someone uses it, so the launch had to create the first proof itself. We produced the brand launch event end to end: stage and backdrop branding carrying the fifteen-minute mechanic promise, the app walkthrough on screen, and photography of the founding team and partners on the day. The assets from the event then seeded the launch announcement across social and press outreach.
The event gave the launch a dated, photographed moment to point at, which is what press and social outreach need. Branding the backdrop rather than only the stage meant every photograph taken in the room carried the proposition, including the ones guests posted themselves.
Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.
Automobile advertising in India
Print is the sector’s leading medium, taking 80.2% of ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025. Maruti Suzuki leads on 17.3% of that spend, 22.2% of the sector’s ads run on digital, and 1,682 advertisers were still active in January 2026.
Where the volume moved, quarter by quarter
Ad volume indexed against the opening quarter = 100, inside one collection batch. The 2026 exports are not on the same footing, so the trend stays within the 12 months to September 2025 rather than crossing that boundary.
Up 19% on the opening quarter.
Up 2% on the opening quarter.
Down 13% on the opening quarter.
Ads recorded per quarter across the 12 months to September 2025, indexed to Oct-Dec 24. Media with too few ads to compare are left out.
The preferred medium
Print captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 80.2% of estimated television, print and radio spend. Digital sits outside this split because TAM prices it on a different scale; it is reported by ad count instead.
A plan that skips print buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.
