The agency signed up brands across diverse sectors, including The Lodha Group, Zee Media Corp, Indian Merchant Chambers, Enamor, Celio, VVF, Radio Mirchi, and Max Fashions, among others.

     

    As the agency’s client roster extends, it is also investing in quality talent with relevant strategic communication experience. The agency claims to have also recorded less than 5 per cent attrition rate as opposed to the industry standard of 20-25 per cent.

    Meanwhile, the Madison Public Relations Partners Meet has been introduced as an annual property, the first one held in December 2013. The interaction with external partners is aimed at tappingon their strengths on a regular basis. It has helped Madison PR to understand markets, issues and challenges better, whilst gaining insight that guides the team better in planning city-specific activations. This deeper engagement between external partners and Madison PR has proved mutually beneficial in harnessing further business because of the high level of effectiveness of plans.

     

    The agency recorded a growth of 32 per cent in 2012-13 and is expected to end 2013-14 with close to 30 per cent growth.
