Fulcro, announced its entry into the mainline communication space through their new company, Fulcro Communications. The move comes after they onboarded mainline industry talent to bring creative firepower and build an independent business unit that would compete with mainline agencies.
Commenting on the move, Sabyasachi Mitter, founder and managing director, Fulcro, says, “When the world has moved onto a multi-screen experience, then why does mainline advertising have to be just a TV experience. The integration of digital with TV was inevitable, we have just positioned ourselves as the ultimate hybrid, since we have a legacy of digital and now the creative brains of mainline.”
“In a digital first world, where ideas are born with a digital audience in mind, the lines between ‘mainline’ and ‘digital’ are purely imaginary. While mainline agencies have either acquired digital agencies or setup in-house digital teams to stay competitive, it was time for Fulcro to add the mainline story telling might to its portfolio so as to be able to offer clients a real fully integrated service. We had always had best in industry strategy, planning, digital, technology and data capabilities, by adding world class mainline communications capabilities we complete our portfolio. This will give clients a nimble, digital first and cost competitive mainline offering that can compete with the best out there,” adds Mitter.
