Employer branding · Marketing and media services
A buyer's career is made of the media they have actually bought.
Employer branding for a media agency answers what a planner or buyer weighs before joining: which media they will handle, which clients they will touch, and what is left of the craft as more of the buying gets automated. GullySales writes the careers content around the media you buy.

For media agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Media mix is the currency, not the salary”
Somebody who has only bought Meta and Google is worth less in five years than somebody who has planned television, outdoor and cinema too. Candidates know this and ask.
“Fresh graduates arrive and leave for the platforms”
Planning teams hire in bulk from mass-communication colleges and lose people to the client side by year two. Nothing on your site gives them a reason to stay.
“The tools are half the job description”
Access to audience measurement data, planning software and a demand-side platform decides what a junior learns. List them and the advert writes itself.
“Automation is the fear you are not addressing”
A buyer wonders what is left of the craft when the platform optimises. An agency that says what its planners do that a machine does not gets read twice.
What we do
What we deliver for media agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The media mix, by team
Which teams handle broadcast, print, outdoor, cinema and digital, and how somebody moves between them.
Result: A planner joins the team that builds the career they want.
Client categories named
The kind of advertisers your agency buys for and the scale of the accounts, written at whatever level your contracts allow.
Result: The question of which account a new planner actually touches is settled before the interview.
Tools and data access listed
The measurement sources, planning tools and platforms a new joiner is trained on, with who trains them.
Result: Juniors who came for the learning stay long enough to be useful.
The route from executive to planner
How long each step usually takes, what decides it, and who a person reports to at each grade.
Result: Fewer resignations from people who assumed there was no route.
An advert that survives a job board
Posts written so the role is clear beside twenty identical listings, with the media, the client type and the reporting line in the opening lines.
Result: Relevant applications from a channel that currently brings you noise.
Your team on what they learned here
Interviews with planners at two or three grades about the skills they picked up and the months that were hard.
Result: Specific claims about learning instead of a promise every agency makes.
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 media 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.
