Align Media
Sanjoy SahaMondol- Founder
Picture this: You head a meeting and is versed with a fact that your company needs to shoot up its marketing game. But the modern world of marketing stands as a mosaic of complexities and trucking with a creative advertising agency to steer your brand becomes tumultuous.
Advertising has travelled a long way while witnessing a thousand miracles. From the emergence of the printing press in 1440s, to the advent of television, the industry has always been an expression of world's socio-economic, political and cultural flow.
From the 'bollywoodisation' used by Britannia for casting the villain Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan) in its Glucose-D biscuit ad to the birth of Maruti, Ind-Suzuki, Hero Honda, Titan and Andhra Bank launching India's first credit card after India's World Cup victory, India has witnessed the changing face of the advertising industry.
From huge billboards and hoardings on the road side to alluring offers at the shops, from radio branding to the world of internet advertising- the industry has always refined its tone to appeal to the changing face of the country.
An immensely crucial aspect, advertising has always focused on aligning itself with the attention of the customers. What started with the voices of street hawkers has matured to classified advertising in Hickey's Bengal Gazette, India's first newspaper (weekly).
In true sense, advertising has been an immensely crucial aspect of the business and Out-of-home (OOH) medium has always held the back of the industry.
Despite this spring season, the industry is not fully blossoming. The market stands highly fragmented where unorganized leaders influence the market. In the face of focus and efforts, the growth has not coordinated with the expectations well. In between all odds, a player has positioned itself as the light of the industry.
Expediting the growth of your business with quality and unified results, the company has become the voice of brands, talking to their customers. Offering an outside posture to differential potential advertising solutions, Align media has become a positive impact maker for brands has been putting business in the best possible shine since 2013.
Sanjoy SahaMondol gauged the basic psychology behind the consumer behaviour pattern and decided to tap the opportunity by acting on it. Sanjoy established Kolkata based Align Media in 2013 that works tirelessly to capture emerging newfound media space and client satisfaction keeping in mind the British roots of Indian culture and Advertising Industry.
India dramatically liberalized its economy in the 90s, paving way for a fertile ground for the advertising firms to grow which saw its vertiginous rise when the internet came into the equation, the democratization of the industry began and new avenues emerged.
Heavy investments in the infrastructure development facilitated opening up of a lot of unchartered or potential media spaces and finally came into the mainframe of the Industrial picture. Align Media today is a forerunner in the specialization domain with the aim to perform innovative advertising in Airlines, Airports and allied OOH media spaces.
