Looking to connect with Creative Agencies - LinkedIn Personal Branding

What makes or breaks a partnership with a creative agency for you and your business? How long does it take to assess this? I'm currently assessing design agencies for a digital product design, and boy, it's kind of tiring. Many promise a lot of creativity but I rarely find good POC outcomes. For my budget, mature agencies feel out of reach. So I'm kind of stuck between being cost efficient and finding a good agency. Feel free to add your experience with design agencies and how they've enhanced or lessened experiences for you.

(This is a networking request but if it comes across as a personal ad against community guidelines, I can take it down.) I'm a journalist turned brand and corporate communications executive turned published author with two decades of experience in content, news media, branding, and public relations. My passions are financial literacy and personal finance. I'm well connected with the national media especially in finance. I'm also a spokesperson appearing on TV regularly to discuss personal finance matters. (Here's a big-ass AMA thread from me - https://grapevine.in/post/62dc97ee-e9f8-45bb-82d0-7174bdef05c4 ) I'm based in Bangalore and have some free time open, which I intend to use to develop mutually beneficial professional relationships. Any founders, marketeers, or comms people here who have ongoing challenges with my areas of expertise? I'm open to discussions, short-term consulting projects and mentoring. Cheers.

Hey Looking for peeps to brainstorm and validate few ideas on a potential SaaS product. Social media marketers and those interested in content marketing are welcome!

Hi Folks, I'm Pratham, Founder of Masters' Union. We're a new-age business school with a unique practitioner-led higher education, where courses are taught by CXOs of top companies in India. I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Masters' Union, my thoughts on the future of Education in India, and discuss my experience in building fast-paced businesses, amongst other things I'll be back at 5 pm and start answering your questions :) Ask away!

Has anyone enlisted a personal PR manager to enhance their brand across social media and professional spheres? What was your experience? context : I believe a “quality” social media presence significantly boosts visibility in professional circles, aiding in networking and job opportunities. but I am unable to strategise.

Hi All, I wanted to leverage this community and see if I can get some contacts or Referals of good B2B saas marketing agencies. I have reached out to a few folks via organic searches but nothing impressive has turned up so far. We are a series A funded company and are looking to solve our TOFU problems. It would he great if we can suggest anything. Thanks all!!

Hi All, do you know someone who is a LinkedIN marketing expert via ads. I want to launch large scale campaign via LinkedIn but now sure how to go about it

Anyone in the scene building some exciting stuff? I am a growth marketer by profession but curious-er than George in general and want to explore new domains with some fun problems to solve. If you just need an extra brain in the room or a few extra hands to get things done, let’s talk? Would be more than happy to explore how I can assist you in your growth journey😄 P.S. Money’s not a motivator. I’m just looking for a means to test my skills and knowledge in a real-world scenario. If I like what you’re building, I am open to working for free🤷‍♂️

Hey folks, Would be grateful if you could connect me with some founders, co-founders, CPO's of HR-Tech Indian and global startups. It would be amazingly helpful - All I'm seeking here is an opportunity to have candid conversations with these folks and figuring out the next steps regarding the same. Coffee/Beer is on me for referrals and meetings :) Best Regards
