Employer branding · Marketing and media services
Everything in your studio is signed by the founder, and your seniors have noticed.
Employer branding for a branding or creative agency is what a designer or strategist reads before applying: whether the work is real identity work, who presents it to the client, and whose name ends up on it. GullySales writes the careers page and posts from what your studio says.

Where this sits
For branding and creative agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Half the market calls retainer social media branding”
A strategist has already been burned by an agency that promised identity work and delivered monthly posts. Your advert reads exactly like that one unless you show the work.
“Presenting is the skill seniors are here to get”
If the founder presents every deck, a senior designer never faces a client and leaves at year three to find out whether they can. The page has to say who is in the room.
“Your project credits are the real careers page”
Candidates look at who is named under a case study before they look at your website. Uncredited work says more about the studio than any culture paragraph.
“People leave creative agencies to start their own”
That is the trade, and every founder in it did the same. A page that names the two or three years honestly attracts better people than one implying a lifetime.
What we do
What we deliver for branding and creative agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The work, credited
Case studies on your own site with the team named beside them, agreed as a policy rather than argued project by project.
Result: A designer can point at published work and say which part was theirs.
What a strategist actually does here
Research, workshops, naming, the number of projects running at once, and who writes the final deck.
Result: Strategists stop treating your studio as a design shop with a strategy label.
Client contact described by level
Who joins a presentation at each grade, what a mid-weight designer is allowed to send, and when somebody first runs a review alone.
Result: Seniors see a path that does not require resigning to reach it.
Job posts that open with a project
Each advert starts with a real shape of work, such as a rebrand for a manufacturer in Peenya or a packaging range for a food brand. The requirements follow.
Result: The portfolios that arrive match the work you have.
The founder's role made explicit
Where the founder stays involved and where they have stepped back, written after an honest conversation with them.
Result: A senior hire knows exactly how much room is left for them.
Interviews with people who left well
Short conversations with alumni about what the studio gave them, used with their permission and their names.
Result: Proof of a career track that current staff cannot supply on their own.
How the result is measured
- Applications received per open role
- Careers page engagement and time on page
- Candidate drop-off during the interview process
- Referral hires as a share of total hires
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for branding and creative agencies
- 1
Talk to current employees
We interview a cross-section of staff honestly, including some who might raise uncomfortable points.
- 2
Find the genuine reasons to join
We identify what is actually true and attractive about working there, rather than generic claims that could apply anywhere.
- 3
Build the careers content
The careers page, job post templates and employee stories are written from what staff actually said.
- 4
Review the candidate experience
We check what happens between application and offer, since branding cannot fix a process that loses candidates through delay.
- 5
Hand over and refresh periodically
Content is handed over for ongoing use and revisited periodically as the team and roles change.
Why us
Why a studio brings us in for its own pipeline.
Marketing and sales, as one job
We work the part after the enquiry as well: the reply, the follow-up, the proposal and the CRM your own pipeline runs on.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
