About Media Mantra

Our Journey So Far

Since its inception in 2012, Media Mantra Group has experienced impressive expansion through client and journalist referrals. As a result, it has become one of India’s leading communication and PR agencies. The firm currently flaunts an outstanding and satisfied client list, driven and competent team members, and a stellar corporate trajectory.

Through creativity and persistent work, Media Mantra is fiercely focused on making a real-time measurable change in client businesses.  We offer to design and successfully implement a strategy to position your company as a knowledge and commercial leader, giving you an advantage over competitors in the market. 

Our primary goal is to increase brand recognition using a variety of PR approaches. At Media Mantra Group, we strive to prioritize innovation, strategy, execution, and impact every step of the way. The agency was founded with the goal of revolutionizing the PR sector through a series of well-planned initiatives that cover everything from client relations to brand development.

Headquartered in Gurgaon, Media Mantra Group has since grown to become one of the leading PR service providers in the country, with offices in Mumbai and Bangalore. Media Mantra Group specializes in corporate communication, brand building, crisis management, and social media management, among other services. 

Our
Values

We at Media Mantra Group hold our three-pillar foundation close and our values closer. We aim to consistently reinforce these values in every single project, task, activity, and interaction within the organization as well as with our clients. 

Both Media Mantra and InfluSurf Communications have been built on trust, authenticity, and reliability. 

Authenticity

We believe that strategy based on the purity of solid data is key. We prioritize honesty and openness in an era of fake news and misinformation; We aim to build trust and credibility with not just our clients but our fellow teammates as well. We are nothing, if not truthful.

Inquisitiveness

We were born curious beings, asking a million questions. Keep that kid alive; the one that could ask the most basic questions. We at MM Group encourage our employees and clients to be curious – to question, learn, and grow together. The day we stop learning is the day we stop living.

Innovation

Finding new things to do and discovering new ways to do them must stay woven into our DNA. Media Mantra Group strives to be innovative in our tailored approaches to deliver strategies to our clients that lead them to success. Change is the only constant.

Joy

Love what you do, who you are, and where you are. We are a band of happy people who create together, not because we have to but because there’s nowhere else we would rather work. The joy of creating nurtures a sense of belonging. Happy people make happy workspaces.
