Fulcro forays into mainline with Fulcro Communications

Fulcro announced its entry into the mainline communication space through their new company, Fulcro Communications.

The move comes after they onboard mainline industry young talent to bring creative firepower and build a  completely independent business unit that would compete with the best mainline agencies out there.

Fulcro has always been a disruptive agency, they yet again prove it by reverse integrating the integrated agency structure. In a perfect world mainline agency has forayed into digital through partners, Fulcro takes a disruptive step of integrating mainline into the digital integrated ecosystem.

Commenting on the move, Sabyasachi Mitter, Founder and Managing Director, Fulcro, said, “When the world has moved onto a multi-screen experience, then why does mainline advertising have to be just a TV experience. The integration of Digital with TV was inevitable, we have just positioned ourselves as the ultimate hybrid, since we have a legacy of digital and now the creative brains of mainline.”

“In a digital-first world, where ideas are born with a digital audience in mind, the lines between ‘mainline’ and ‘digital’ are purely imaginary. While mainline agencies have either acquired digital agencies or set up in house digital teams to stay competitive, it was time for Fulcro to add the mainline storytelling might to its portfolio so as to be able to offer clients a real fully integrated service. We had always had the best in industry strategy, planning, digital, technology and data capabilities, by adding world-class mainline communications capabilities we complete our portfolio. This will give clients a nimble, digital-first and cost-competitive mainline offering that can compete with the best out there.” adds Mitter.
