Campaigns we have run for brands like Tata
A campaign we planned, booked and photographed for another advertiser in Corporate / Brand Image, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.
A state cleanliness mission told through national branded features
A government programme is judged on whether people hear about the work, and a photo call alone does not travel. The mission’s ground events were covered as they happened, then the material was placed as branded features on national mastheads, on India Today as an Impact Feature and on ThePrint under its sponsored programme, framing the work as an urban waste management story with the technology angle rather than as an announcement.
Placing the same story on two national mastheads reaches the audience that follows policy rather than only the local audience that saw the event. Building the feature around the technology rather than the ceremony gave the placement an argument, which is what makes branded content read like journalism.
Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.

FMCG advertising in India
Television is the sector’s leading medium, taking 67.4% of ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025. Hindustan Unilever leads on 8.4% of that spend, 4.2% of the sector’s ads run on digital, and 4,343 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 4% on the opening quarter.
Up 72% on the opening quarter.
Down 31% 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
Television captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 67.4% 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 television buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.
