Can you share the story behind the inception of Adgcraft Communications and what inspired you to start this PR agency?

Abhinay Kumar Singh: The last decade was the era of startups, and I’ve had the privilege of working with over 100 of them. Some of these startups have evolved into unicorns, and through this experience, I identified a significant gap in the industry.

We observed that numerous startups lacked effective storytelling. Motivated to bridge this gap, we founded a company dedicated to crafting compelling narratives for businesses. Our core belief lies in creating impactful communications.

With over a decade of experience spanning diverse sectors, including Education, Technology, Electric Vehicles, Real Estate, Ministries, and now venturing into emerging sectors like Blockchain and AI, we’ve come to realize the profound difference between understanding business and telling a brand’s story effectively.

Our inspiration is to contribute to India’s economy, particularly in the startup landscape. We are firm believers in providing opportunities to individuals from all backgrounds.

We started with just two people, and today, we’ve grown to a team of 34+ members. We’ve invested in training our team to be the best, equipped them with cutting-edge technology, and stay abreast of industry trends. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a chance, no matter where they come from.

These sessions help our team grasp the nuances of emerging technologies that can enhance our PR practices. We balance the use of technology with a commitment to human-centric communication, which defines our approach.

Keeping abreast of global communication trends and utilizing tracking systems, we seamlessly adapt to changes in the industry. We emphasize our core values while integrating new technologies like AI and ChatGPT, ensuring our strategies remain innovative yet firmly grounded.

By aligning our promises with what we can deliver, being transparent, and consistently providing value, we’ve built lasting relationships.

Our commitment to understanding client values and telling stories that resonate with the audience has led to significant growth, with startups becoming established companies. When we sit with clients for our initial project discussions, we assess their level of awareness about the PR process.

If we find that clients may not have much knowledge, we take the initiative to educate them by conducting informative sessions. This ensures that they are aware of how PR is going to impact them.

With the increasing influence of digital media, how has Adgcraft Communications adapted its PR strategies to leverage online platforms effectively for its clients?

Abhinay Kumar Singh: As digital media becomes more important, we have refined our PR strategies to make the most of online platforms. We understand that in a country with over 1.3 billion people and widespread mobile connectivity, crafting digital stories is crucial.

With the change in our target groups, our campaign strategy changes, and our communication tools adapt to ensure our message reaches the right audience through the right media channels, be it traditional, new media, or digital.

Our strategies include timely responses, feedback mechanisms, and using various online mediums to engage with the audience. We believe in a comprehensive approach, making sure our clients’ stories not only get communicated well but also match the changing dynamics of digital communication

Communication is key to building trust and accountability. We prioritize responsible professionalism, making sure the information we release for our clients is truthful and accurate.
