What it adds
Creators at your launch, in your audience's language.
Creator shortlist
Creators whose followers are your customers: food, fashion, tech, auto, family, books or city life, chosen by audience fit and content quality.
Regional voices
Bengali-language creators for Bengal audiences, and English or Hindi creators where your customers are.
A creator slot
A hands-on session or a separate time at the event, so creators get their content without crowding the press Q&A.
A clear brief
The news, the key facts, what can and cannot be said, and the disclosure each post must carry.
Content review
Facts checked before posting where the agreement allows, so every post gets the product right.
Tracking
What was published, where and when, in the same report as your press coverage.
Press and creators
Two audiences, two jobs.
| Journalists at the event | Creators at the event | |
|---|---|---|
| What they publish | News stories, interviews and pictures | Posts, reels and stories on their own channels |
| Who decides | The desk and the editor | Agreed in the creator brief |
| Disclosure | Editorial coverage | Labelled as paid or brand-supported content, as ASCI requires |
| What it gives you | Credibility and a public record | Reach with a specific audience, fast |
| When it runs | The next day's editions and news sites | During and after the event |
| Language | Bengali and English desks | Bengali, English or Hindi, by audience |
We plan the two side by side, so the creator content and the press story carry the same facts.
Disclosure
Clear labels protect the brand and the creator.
ASCI's Guidelines for Influencer Advertising on Digital Media, in force since June 2021, ask creators to disclose material connections with a brand in a way the audience will notice, using labels such as #ad, #collab, #sponsored or #partnership. Brands and creators are both expected to follow them.
We build the disclosure into every brief and check posts against it. Audiences trust creators who are open about partnerships, and the brand keeps a clean record.
Creators who speak about health, money or other regulated subjects need extra care with claims. We flag those in the brief and keep the content to facts you can support.

Kolkata media
Bengali and national desks, from our own city.
Our organic campaign for a Kolkata entrepreneur, the first Indian to finish a marathon at the Geographic North Pole, was carried by 18 publications in English, Hindi and Bengali, from Ei Samay to The Times of India, The Economic Times and ANI. It was a pitching campaign rather than a press conference, and it shows the desks we work with every week.
FAQ
Influencer marketing questions
How does influencer marketing work at a launch or event in Kolkata?
We choose creators whose audience fits your customers, brief them on the product and the event, plan a separate creator slot or hands-on session alongside the press, and track what they publish, with the disclosure ASCI requires.
Do influencers have to disclose paid content in India?
Yes. ASCI's guidelines for influencer advertising on digital media, in force since June 2021, ask creators to label paid or brand-supported content clearly, with labels such as #ad, #collab or #sponsored. We build the disclosure into every brief.
Do you work with Bengali-language creators?
Yes. For audiences in Bengal, Bengali-language creators often reach customers that English content does not, and we brief them in Bengali.
How do you choose creators?
By audience fit, content quality, engagement and how well their style suits your brand, rather than by follower count alone. We share the shortlist with you before anyone is approached.
How much does influencer marketing in Kolkata cost?
It depends on the creators, the number of posts, the formats and the usage rights, so it is quoted on your brief.
