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.

A colliery lamp room seen from the counter: the roller shutter half up over a deep hatch, rows of cap lamps and their batteries hanging on hooks in the recess behind it, a rack of self-rescuers on the wall above, and a check-board of pegs beside the hatch with a single brass tally hanging on it where a lamp has gone out

Where this sits

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 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. 1

    Talk to current employees

    We interview a cross-section of staff honestly, including some who might raise uncomfortable points.

  2. 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. 3

    Build the careers content

    The careers page, job post templates and employee stories are written from what staff actually said.

  4. 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. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is this recruitment by another name?
No. GullySales writes the careers page, the job posts and the employee stories. Sourcing, screening, offers and payroll all stay inside your agency, and we hold no candidate database.
We hire in batches before the season. Can this be timed?
Yes, and it should be. The content has to be live before your campus visits and before the season's hiring push, because the page is what a student checks the night before an interview.
Everyone says the same things about media careers. What changes?
The specifics do. A page naming the measurement data a junior gets access to, and the categories a team buys for, reads differently from one promising growth and exposure. It is not a writing trick, it is you deciding to publish facts. One warning. If your juniors are leaving for a platform or a client paying more than your agency will match, that is a pay decision and no page rescues it.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
