What We Do

A complete view of your paid media practice

Branding & Awareness Campaigns

Large-scale reach and branding campaigns across Meta and premium OTT and CTV inventory, including Jio Hotstar, Zee, and other major streaming platforms, the same scale of media plan behind Nayara Energy's Sabki Jeet Guaranteed, which reached 2.5 crore+ new customers.

OTT, CTV & Programmatic Buying

Programmatic media buying across OTT and CTV inventory through leading DSPs, including iavatarz, reaching audiences on the biggest screen in the household with the same measurement rigour as digital-native channels.

Performance Marketing: Google Search & Performance Max

Search campaign management and Performance Max, built and continuously optimised against real conversion data, one discipline within the broader paid media practice, not the whole of it.

Performance Marketing: Paid Social Advertising

Meta, LinkedIn, and platform-specific paid social campaigns, run as part of a connected performance program alongside organic content and the rest of the funnel.

Product Listing Ads & Automated Repricing

Automated systems that connect directly to live pricing and inventory data, the same discipline behind DynaPrice, a Google Search and PLA engine that automatically repriced Bajaj Electricals' listings in response to real-time competitor moves.

B2B Paid Media & Lead Generation

Multi-platform B2B campaigns, Google Search, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Dynamic Search Ads, built around a real buyer journey, not a consumer campaign template retrofitted for a B2B audience.

Real Work, Not Just Claims

Paid Media & Performance Marketing in practice

How We Do It

Structured discovery, rigorous analysis, actionable outcomes

01

Start From the Real Objective, Branding or Performance

A media plan starts with what the campaign actually needs to achieve, broad reach and awareness, or a specific, measurable conversion outcome, since the two require genuinely different channel mixes, creative, and measurement.

02

Plan Across Every Real Screen, Not Just Digital-Native Channels

Meta sits alongside Jio Hotstar, Zee, and other OTT and CTV inventory, bought programmatically through DSPs including iavatarz, so a campaign's reach isn't artificially limited to channels that happen to be easiest to buy.

03

Treat Creative as a Performance Lever Where Conversion Is the Goal

For performance campaigns specifically, ad creative is tested and iterated the same way targeting and bidding are, since platform algorithms increasingly test against creative directly.

04

Automate Where a Real, Fast-Moving Signal Demands It

Where pricing or inventory genuinely changes faster than a team can manually track, we build automated systems that respond directly, the same approach that let DynaPrice reprice Bajaj Electricals' listings the moment a competitor's price moved.

05

Measure Against What the Campaign Was Actually Built to Achieve

A branding campaign is measured on reach, frequency, and business-level outcomes like new customer acquisition. A performance campaign is measured on cost per lead, cost per demo, or cost per sale. Neither gets forced into the other's scorecard.

Why It's Important

The business case for paid media & performance marketing

01

Reach and Conversion Are Both Real, Different Jobs

A campaign built to create broad awareness and one built to drive a specific, immediate conversion need genuinely different channel mixes, creative, and success metrics. Treating paid media as only performance marketing means leaving real reach and brand-building work off the table.

02

OTT and CTV Are Now Mainstream Inventory, Not an Emerging Channel

Streaming viewership overtook combined broadcast and cable reach for the first time in May 2025. A paid media practice that doesn't include OTT and CTV is increasingly missing where a real, mainstream audience already is.

03

Scale Campaigns Can Move an Entire Business's Numbers

Nayara Energy's Sabki Jeet Guaranteed reached 2.5 crore+ new customers and drove ₹3,000 crore+ in incremental sales, real evidence that a genuinely large-scale, well-planned branding and reach campaign can move numbers at the level of the business itself, not just a campaign dashboard.

04

Ad Spend Without Attribution Is Just Spend, for Performance Specifically

Within the performance discipline specifically, cost per sale, cost per lead, and cost per demo are the numbers that actually matter. DynaPrice's 52% reduction in cost per sale is real, specific, attributable proof, not a reach number dressed up as performance.

A Real Media Practice Across Every Screen, Not Just Digital-Native Channels

Built Inside a Broader Creative and Strategy Practice

Because Paid Media sits alongside Content & Film Production, Social Media Marketing, and Brand & Digital Strategy under one roof, the creative running across every channel, from a CTV spot to a performance ad, comes from the same team, not a disconnected media-only vendor.
