StudioTalk, a front-running PR and Media Strategy company is the brainchild of two pioneering journalists
- Mahrukh Inayet and Vikram Sawant.
Between them, Vikram Sawant and Mahrukh Inayet have almost half a century of extensive experience in the Print, Radio and Television space not only in India but also the US. Both have helmed acclaim-winning news reports during the early years of Times Now and in 2012 envisioned StudioTalk to address the dire need of well-schooled television anchors. The two created offline training programmes to prepare broadcast journalists for the stern demands of TV newsrooms.
Their success in communications and training, led them to launch programs in Corporate and Political Communication - while the former were for corporate honchos, the latter were tailored for political leaders. Some of the most prominent names came knocking and StudioTalk's phones have not stopped ringing since then.
Subsequently, StudioTalk pivoted to an even more thrilling track - that of creating content and PR. Given Mahrukh and Vikram's unassailable standing in the business, clients came from near and far. From film icons to politicians to social outfits, musicians, CEOs, start-up whiz kids to those looking to promote an event, a product, a film or a book, everyone benefited from StudioTalk’s professionalism and instinct for note perfect, well-timed media campaigns.
With proficient teams and an avant-garde work culture backing them, StudioTalk’s protagonists tell demiurgic stories, in the process resuscitating the craft of communication in a unique way for every client. StudioTalk does not just weave dreams for its clients, it realises their aspirations and amplifies their achievements.
StudioTalk assigns you a Specialist Relationship Manager. After much deliberation on the strengths and weaknesses of the client, great care is taken to empower you with the right one. She or he is then your one-point-contact for the world wide web.
Audiences are well informed and extremely discerning when it comes to spotting an ‘uncomfortable’ speaker. Style of delivery must match the message.
You represent your brand/organisation. Your appearances on channels/interviews or in front of live audiences are seen as a reflection of what you stand for. It becomes important then – not just what you say, but how you say it.
Brand and image management during a PR crisis are not for the fainthearted. In inexperienced hands, reputations, revenue streams, customer loyalty and business outcomes can be severely injured. StudioTalk has time-tested expertise to not just successfully navigate such a crisis but to prevent it even though, for brands and individuals in the public eye, such negative situations are not uncommon.
Be it negative press, challenges pertaining to customer or employee relations, a social media crisis or communication missteps, we transform a potentially negative situation into a positive opportunity for a brand and image revamp. With a multi-pronged and nuanced approach, execution assistance and advice, strong strategising, predictive and proactive response, we manage and mitigate a PR crisis, regardless of its severity. We handhold our clients even during the post-event recovery process because for us, nurturing goodwill is personal and not just a professional pursuit.
Some of our established crisis management techniques include:
