NEW DELHI: Vaynermedia has launched its full-service agency in India, marking its sixth office in Asia Pacific and 13th globally. After over two years of serving Fortune 500 clients in India, the company opened an office to meet growing market demands better.
VaynerMedia and local agency Step1 are merging, with Step1 becoming VaynerMedia India. The new entity, led by Salman Moin reporting to Tim Lindley, will offer a full range of services with a focus on social.
Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO and Co-Founder said, “India’s deeply diverse cultural heritage combined with its rapidly growing economy and exploding social media landscape presents a truly unique and exciting opportunity for brands. The country’s entrepreneurial spirit and diverse culture coupled with our team’s passion, expertise, and VaynerMedia’s attention-first philosophy –– now this is a recipe for explosive growth. I have zero doubt that Tim and Salman will lead the team to an incredibly exciting future, and I’m excited to show the Fortune 500 brands in the region how to actually build brand in the new marketing world.”

It brings together deep-rooted tradition and fast-paced innovation –– the ideal conditions for dynamic brands to thrive. Modern brands the world over have leveraged the power of social media to disrupt goliath incumbents; Indian businesses leverage social media on a whole new level to disrupt global dynamics, making it the perfect place for us to deploy our ‘social at the centre’ marketing model.”
