YOU ARE OPENING AN OUTLET IN HRBR LAYOUT
A new café, clinic or studio on 80 Feet Road or Kammanahalli Main Road needs coverage in the first fortnight, before the launch buzz fades and the openings column moves on.
PLAN THE LAUNCH →Hrbr Layout sits inside Bengaluru's north-east media belt, close to Kalyan Nagar, Banaswadi and Kammanahalli, where city publications, community pages, food critics and startup reporters all overlap. We keep a live map of who covers what, so a pitch reaches the right desk instead of a generic press list.
New menus, chef changes and outlet launches in Hrbr Layout get pitched to food critics, city pages and neighbourhood food communities within the first two weeks of opening.
Dental, derma and physiotherapy practices around Hrbr Layout need credible expert positioning, so we place doctor commentary and health explainers rather than paid advertorials.
Brands headquartered in Hrbr Layout often sell across India but get covered locally first. We build the product story and take it to consumer and startup desks in the right order.
Project launches, approvals and rental market commentary for the Hrbr Layout and Kalyan Nagar corridor, pitched to property desks with actual data attached to the claim.
Pre-seed and seed teams in Hrbr Layout use us for funding announcements, founder profiles and category commentary while they build a reporter shortlist worth keeping.
Boutique fitness studios use local PR to fill batches. We pitch class launches, trainer expertise and community events across Hrbr Layout and the Banaswadi side.
Admissions-season storytelling, principal commentary and event coverage for schools, pre-schools and tuition centres operating in and around Hrbr Layout.
Single-store retailers in Hrbr Layout get neighbourhood-page coverage and city gift roundups that drive footfall without needing a paid media budget behind them.
Practices use us for bylined commentary and expert quotes so their name appears next to the topic being discussed, not next to an advertisement in the same paper.
Trend commentary, stylist features and launch coverage for beauty businesses across Hrbr Layout, Kammanahalli and the surrounding north Bengaluru high streets.
Space operators pitch community events and occupancy trends to business desks. We package the numbers so the story is worth printing rather than a rent notice.
We stopped guessing which journalist covers north Bengaluru. CredPR had the list before we even asked for it. - Founder, Hrbr Layout D2C brand
Most first calls come at a specific moment, not a vague urge to raise awareness. Here are the ten we handle most often for businesses in and around Hrbr Layout.
A new café, clinic or studio on 80 Feet Road or Kammanahalli Main Road needs coverage in the first fortnight, before the launch buzz fades and the openings column moves on.
PLAN THE LAUNCH →
Investors signed, but nobody outside your network knows yet. We turn the round into a founder and category story instead of a one-line funding brief nobody reads.
PITCH THE ROUND →
One angry post in a Banaswadi or Hrbr Layout community group can outrank your own website on search. We build the response, the holding statement and the follow-up.
GET CRISIS SUPPORT →
Your rival gets quoted in every north Bengaluru roundup while your inbox stays quiet. We audit why they get called and rebuild your reporter relationships from scratch.
RUN A MEDIA AUDIT →
Your team knows the category better than most reporters covering it. We package that knowledge into commentary and explainers that actually get picked up.
POSITION THE EXPERT →
The product ships across India, but the story starts in Hrbr Layout. We sequence local coverage first so the national pitch has proof behind it.
SEQUENCE THE LAUNCH →
A 2019 article and three old reviews still define your brand online. We replace them with current, accurate coverage that ranks and reads well.
REFRESH THE NARRATIVE →
Hiring in Hrbr Layout is competitive and good candidates ignore cold messages. Founder profiles and workplace stories make recruiters get answered.
BUILD EMPLOYER PR →
Recognition only counts if it gets reported. We convert the certificate into a clean press note and place it with the desks that cover your category.
ANNOUNCE IT →
Moving from Hrbr Layout to Hennur, Hebbal or Indiranagar means new reporters and new neighbourhoods. We localise the pitch for each one.
EXPAND THE MAP →Ten things we actually do, scoped and priced separately, so you can start with one and add the rest once it earns its place.
We build and maintain a reporter list specific to your category and to north Bengaluru, then run the pitching, follow-ups and reminders until a story is filed or the angle is genuinely dead.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Releases written for journalists rather than approval chains: one clear angle, quotable lines, verified numbers and a short note on why this matters in Hrbr Layout right now.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Long-form founder interviews, LinkedIn positioning and podcast placements that make a Hrbr Layout founder the default person reporters call when the category comes up.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →A four-week launch window covering teaser, opening day and follow-up coverage for new outlets, products and services opening in and around Hrbr Layout.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Holding statements, spokesperson preparation and a response timeline for review bombs, viral complaints, staff disputes and regulatory notices that hit without warning.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Neighbourhood pages, community groups and city editions that reach Hrbr Layout residents directly, pitched in the frequency and format each outlet actually accepts.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Two recorded sessions on message discipline, bridging and the three questions you will definitely be asked, reviewed afterwards so you can see what to fix.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Bylined articles and data commentary placed in trade and business publications, drafted with your team and edited to each outlet's house style before submission.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →A monthly report with placements, reach estimates, message pull-through and the pitches that failed, because the failures are the part that tells you what to change.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →Daily tracking of brand mentions across news, review platforms and community groups in Hrbr Layout and wider Bengaluru, with alerts when something needs a reply.
DISCUSS THIS SERVICE →We work as an extension of your marketing team, not a vendor sending monthly decks. Retainers start at three months and are scoped to a fixed set of deliverables, so you always know what is being worked on this week.

There are larger agencies in Bengaluru and cheaper freelancers online. Here is what clients in Hrbr Layout say made the difference.
Hrbr Layout is not a generic Bengaluru pin code. We know which publications cover an 80 Feet Road opening and which ones will ignore it entirely.
You get one person who knows your account, your category and your reporters. No handoff to a junior the week after onboarding.
We share the reporter list we would pitch in week one, so you can judge the relationships and the fit before committing any budget.
If a story will not land, we say so and propose a different one, rather than burning a reporter relationship on a pitch nobody needed to send.
Monthly reports show what did not work alongside what did. That is the only honest way to tell whether a retainer is earning its keep.
Hrbr Layout overheads mean retainers priced for growing businesses, with placements that still reach readers across the whole of Bengaluru.
Forty-five minutes on your business, your competitors and what coverage would actually change for you. We come with questions rather than a slide deck.
We check what has been written about you, your category and your competitors over the last twelve months, then identify the gaps that are genuinely worth pitching.
One core narrative, three supporting angles and a verified reporter list for Hrbr Layout and Bengaluru. You approve all of it before a single pitch goes out.
We pitch, follow up twice, and report back weekly. Journalists get one clean email from us with the facts in order, not five reminders in a week.
At the end of each month we review placements, missed angles and the next month's calendar, then adjust the list and the story based on what moved.
The questions that come up on almost every first call, answered without the agency fog.
Retainers for Hrbr Layout clients typically start around ₹35,000 a month for a scoped media relations programme and rise with the number of categories and spokespeople involved. Launch sprints and one-off projects are quoted separately. We share full scope and deliverables before you sign anything.
No. Hrbr Layout is our base and where most clients are, but we handle brands across Kalyan Nagar, Banaswadi, Kammanahalli, Hennur and Hebbal. The reporter relationships are the same north Bengaluru network either way.
First placements usually land between weeks four and eight. Local and community outlets move faster than national desks. We set expectations per outlet at the audit stage, so you are not measuring results against a number nobody actually promised.
No credible agency can, and anyone who does is usually selling advertorial. What we guarantee is a verified list, a defined number of pitches each month and a written report on what every one of those pitches produced.
About two hours: one call to approve angles and quick turnaround on quotes and data. Founders who make themselves available for interviews get materially better coverage than those who route everything through three layers of approval.
Yes. Review bombs, viral complaints in community groups, staff disputes and regulatory notices are the common cases in Hrbr Layout. We keep a standby retainer for businesses that need a drafted response within hours rather than days.
Completely. Food coverage runs on openings, menus and critics, while healthcare runs on expert commentary and credentials. The Hrbr Layout media list overlaps, but the pitch, the proof and the spokesperson are built per category.
Yes, including bylined pieces, founder interviews and Q&A responses. Everything is drafted by a publicist who has pitched that outlet before, then edited with your team for accuracy, tone and the details only you know.
You keep every media list, press kit and report we built. If you move the function in-house, we will brief your team properly. Several Hrbr Layout clients have done exactly that and come back to us for launches.
Tell us what you sell and who you want to reach. We will tell you which Hrbr Layout and north Bengaluru outlets are realistic for you, and which ones are not worth the budget.
You get a written audit within a week: existing coverage, competitor gaps, three pitchable angles and a reporter list you can keep and use yourself.
If it is a fit, we scope a retainer. If it is not, you still leave with a media plan you can run in-house without paying anyone a monthly fee.
Thanks - your message is on its way.
Our team will get back to you within one business day.
