VaynerMedia today announced the launch of its
full-service agency in India, the company’s sixth office in the Asia Pacific region, and 13th
globally. After just over two years of presence in the country servicing Fortune 500 clients,
VaynerMedia has officially opened an office to better cater to clients and the growing business
demands in the Indian market.
VaynerMedia previously operated in strategic partnership with local agency Step1, who will
seamlessly transition into the VaynerMedia family and now operate as VaynerMedia India.
VaynerMedia India will offer a full suite of services, including creative, strategy, media, and
consulting, with social at the centre of it all –– all under the leadership of Salman Moin, who will
report directly to Asia Pacific Managing Director Tim Lindley.
“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,” said CEO and Co-Founder Gary Vaynerchuk. “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.”
“India’s entrepreneurial spirit, rapid economic growth, and thriving pop culture make it one of
the most exciting markets in the world right now. It brings together deep-rooted tradition and
fast-paced innovation –– the ideal conditions for dynamic brands to thrive,” said Tim Lindley.
“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.”
VaynerMedia’s swift regional growth in APAC is exemplified by its expansion to India. The
agency which was first established in the United States in 2009, expanded to the United
Kingdom in 2018. In the past four years, it has experienced unparalleled expansion, extending
to the Asia Pacific in 2019, followed by Mexico in 2021 to cater to Latin America. In 2022, the
agency launched in The Netherlands and, more recently, in mid-March 2023, in Toronto,
Canada. The most recent opening in Gurgaon, India, makes a total of six offices across the
region for VaynerMedia APAC.
The agency is known for its consumer-centric, integrated approach which incorporates both
creative and media to drive business results for its clients.
