The studio,Advertorial

Our story · § 01

We didn't start an agency. We started the opposite.

Most agency conversations sound the same,fancy words, big promises, no numbers you can take to the bank. We sat through enough of them, on the brand side and the agency side, to know it didn't have to work that way.

So in early 2026 we opened Advertorial in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Three working founders, one shared WhatsApp group with every client, and a single, unsexy promise: we'd tell you the truth about your numbers every Friday.

We're not trying to be the biggest marketing agency in India. We're trying to be the one a handful of premium businesses recommend to their friends, quietly. That's the whole plan.

The team. Three founders, three crafts, one shared inbox.

§ 02 Founders

Co-Founder · Performance Marketing

Akshay Deshmukh

Co-Founder · Video & Production

Tousif

Co-Founder · Business Development

Suresh

Owns first conversations, contracts, and the offline relationship side of the business. Most new clients meet him first,and then meet Akshay and Tousif a day later.

What we won't do. The fine print, in plain words.

§ 03 Values

We won't take you on if we can't help

If your unit economics don't have a path to profitability, we'll say so on the first call. We'd rather lose a client than waste your money.

We won't hide your ad spend

The money goes on your card. Every rupee is visible to you in real time. No agency-side wallet, no hidden mark-up, no "trust us".

We won't ghost-write a strategy

You'll be in the same WhatsApp group as the people writing the plan. If there's a decision to make, you'll be there for it.

Most agencies put you on a discovery call with a salesperson. We do it differently,your first call is with whoever will actually be doing the work.
