Marketing & Media Agencies
An agency is its people, and people-admin is heavy and leaky. Creative, content and performance hiring runs at volume with high churn; the same leave, payroll and policy questions are answered by hand over and over; new-hire documents are chased on WhatsApp and re-keyed; attendance is reconciled to payroll manually each month; and the agency carries a quiet, expensive layer of idle software seats (creative suites, ad-platform tools, SaaS licences) that nobody reclaims when a person leaves. Bench time and attrition are the firm's biggest swing costs and are tracked badly. Every decision about a person, who to hire, pay, promote or exit, is a live legal-risk surface where a machine must not decide.
Who has it
Digital, performance, creative, PR and social agencies most, with their high-volume creative and performance hiring, the policy and leave helpdesk, and idle software seats; and every segment above roughly a hundred people. High-volume hiring, a helpdesk and seat waste are the recurring pattern across the sector.
What we build
The people-admin run to a system: the onboarding checklist, the attendance-to-payroll inputs, the statutory people records, a cited leave-and-policy helpdesk off the firm's own handbook, and a plain read on headcount, loaded cost, bench, seat usage and attrition. The seat-and-licence read alone usually pays for the work by reclaiming idle software the firm is paying for. Every people decision stays human.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is the people-admin run to a system: onboarding checklists, attendance-to-payroll inputs, statutory records, and a plain read on headcount, loaded cost, bench, seat usage and attrition computed by rule. The seat-and-licence read alone usually pays for the work.
Where AI helps
AI answers routine leave and policy questions with citations straight from the firm's own handbook, and reads onboarding documents into the right fields. It informs and drafts; every decision about a person, who to hire, pay, promote or exit, stays with a person.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Routine HR questions answer themselves so the HR team is freed for real people work; onboarding runs without the WhatsApp chase; attendance reconciles to payroll instead of being re-keyed; idle seats and bench cost surface in rupees; every decision about a person stays human.
Illustrative outcome
Idle software seats reclaimed and HR admin hours reduced; bench and attrition cost made visible.
