Case studies

Campaigns we have run in Corporate / Brand Image

Work we planned, booked and photographed for advertisers in this sector, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.

Swachh Bharat 2.0 · Government & Social

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.

What it delivered

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.

Methodology & notes

Built from 18 industry-standard ad-monitoring and research sources. Every figure is a count of ads recorded, not rupees, because ad cost is not comparable between TV, radio, print and online. Geography (cities) covers print, radio and outdoor only. Updated monthly. Full methodology →

Coverage: these figures reflect the advertising we were able to track across our data sources, a large sample but not every ad placed in India. Treat them as a directional, relative picture, not an absolute or complete record.
