Publish what a first-time advertiser wants explained before briefing you.

Content marketing for an advertising agency is publishing what advertisers ask in every first meeting, such as what a hoarding costs, how the city edition is priced and when to book for the festival season. GullySales writes it and schedules it around each category's planning months.

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For advertising agencies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The questions you answer for free in every meeting”

    What a front page costs and how commission works: write those once and send the link before the meeting.

  • “Planning months set the publishing date”

    A guide to admission advertising is ignored mid-season and read closely when a principal starts planning the next intake.

  • “A case study without a client name still works”

    Write the brief, the media plan and what the response looked like, with the advertiser described by category.

What we do

What we deliver for advertising agencies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A rate and booking explainer for each medium

    What a front page costs, how hoarding sites are priced, how commission works and when booking closes, written once in plain words.

    Result: You stop explaining the same thing in every first meeting.

  2. A category guide published to its planning month

    An admission advertising guide for principals, a launch guide for developers and a festive guide for retailers, each scheduled before that category starts planning.

    Result: Your guide arrives in the week the reader is deciding.

  3. Case studies written without the client's name

    The brief, the media plan, what ran and what the response looked like, with the advertiser described by category until permission comes through.

    Result: Work you cannot name still does something for you.

  4. A media planning checklist worth downloading

    One page a first-time advertiser can use before briefing anybody, given in exchange for a name and a category.

    Result: A reader who is not ready to ring still becomes a contact.

  5. A calendar with a writer and a date against each piece

    Topics fixed for the next quarter, with who drafts and who approves, so writing does not wait for a quiet week that never arrives.

    Result: Something goes out even in the middle of launch season.

  6. Reporting on what each piece brought

    Reads, downloads and enquiries traced to each guide and case study, set against the baseline recorded when work starts.

    Result: Next quarter's topics are chosen on evidence.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Questions buyers ask first

The questions an advertiser asks before briefing an agency, and the piece that answers each.

What does a front page ad cost in the city edition?
A rate explainer showing how the card rate, discounts and agency commission combine, with one worked example and the date it was checked against the media owner's current rate card.
How far ahead do I book for Diwali or admissions?
A booking calendar for each medium: release order deadline, artwork deadline and when hoarding sites fill. Publish it before the category sets its budget, not after.
How will I know my ad actually ran?
A page on proof of publication: tear sheet, site photograph, radio play log. Show a redacted sample and say what is done when a medium slips.
Is print still worth it next to Meta and Google?
An even-handed comparison by category. Say where print, hoardings and radio still carry a launch or an admission season, and where digital deserves the first rupee.
Have you done this for someone like me?
A case page per category: the brief, the media mix, what ran and the response, with the advertiser described by category until the client agrees to be named.
What should I send you to get a plan?
A one-page brief form asking budget, city, dates, target buyer and the action wanted. It ends in a request to your desk, so a vague call becomes a usable brief.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the content marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Confirm the plan

    Topics and formats for the coming month are confirmed against the content strategy.

  2. 2

    Produce and review

    Content is written or filmed, then reviewed by someone who knows your trade before it goes out.

  3. 3

    Publish and distribute

    Finished content is published to the site and pushed through the channels your buyers actually use.

  4. 4

    Track enquiries

    Enquiries are traced back to content where a direct line exists, and reported honestly where it does not.

  5. 5

    Report and adjust

    We report results and adjust the next topics based on what actually worked.

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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
What should an agency write about?
The parts of buying media that advertisers find confusing, such as commission, booking deadlines and proof of publication.
Will a blog bring in briefs?
Not on its own. It settles the questions that slow a brief down once the call does happen.
Can we publish media rates when they change so often?
Publish how a rate is built, not a bare figure. Show the method with one worked example marked with its check date, and say the media owner's current card governs. The visitor then rings for the live number.
How do we get planners to contribute without asking them to write?
Record a short conversation when a planner explains a plan to a client, with permission. A writer turns the transcript into the page and the planner approves it. The expertise is theirs, the drafting is not.
Can a traditional agency still grow when clients are moving to digital?
Yes, if it stops selling media alone. Builders, institutions and retailers still spend on print, radio and outdoor, and an agency that can plan those alongside digital keeps the whole budget.
Should we take part in pitches that ask for free creative?
Only when the account is worth it and the odds are fair. Ask how many agencies are pitching and whether a pitch fee is paid, and decline briefs where the creative could simply be taken and handed to a cheaper supplier.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
