Social Media Marketing That's Accountable to Revenue, Not Likes

We're a Bangalore-based social media marketing agency that engineers full-funnel organic and paid social — across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest and WhatsApp. Every post, every rupee of ad spend, every report ties back to one thing: predictable business growth for SaaS, D2C, Healthcare and Fintech brands.

Most social media spend can't tell you what it earned

Most agencies optimise for what looks good in a deck. We optimise for what shows up in your CRM.

Here's the uncomfortable truth most agencies won't open with: a lot of social media marketing looks busy and proves nothing. Follower counts climb, reels get views, the deck looks great — and nobody in the room can connect any of it to revenue, leads, or retention.

That's not a creative problem. It's a structure problem. When content, paid media, and reporting are run by three disconnected vendors, the work optimises for whatever's easiest to screenshot — vanity metrics — instead of what actually moves the business.

First Launch runs it differently. One cross-functional team owns the full journey — acquisition, conversion, and retention — so the strategy is built to link to your numbers from day one. And we'll tell you early when something isn't working, instead of dressing it up at the end of the month.

Social media that works across the entire customer lifecycle

Very few channels can acquire and retain. Social does both — when it's engineered to. We build campaigns that earn attention at the top, convert it in the middle, and keep customers coming back at the bottom.

Acquire

Discovery-led reach

Discovery-led organic content and precision paid social that reach the exact people most likely to buy. No other channel lets you reach a 28-year-old fintech professional in Bangalore who has already shown intent to switch products — paid social does, and we build campaigns that use that targeting to the full.

Convert

Creative built for action

Creative built to drive an action, not applause. Lookalike and intent-based audience modelling, A/B multi-variant ad testing, landing-page alignment, and conversion tracking that proves what each campaign returned — down to the rupee.

Retain

Revenue from existing buyers

Community management, retention content, and WhatsApp and email-adjacent flows that turn first-time buyers into repeat revenue — the part of social media ROI most agencies quietly ignore.

Six platforms. One revenue-first strategy.

We don't post everywhere for the sake of it. We pick the platforms where your buyers actually decide — and run each one with a job to do.

Instagram

Reels-led reach, UGC, and shoppable content that builds brand recall and drives D2C conversions. Our discipline here is creative velocity — testing fast, scaling what lands.

Facebook

Still the backbone of paid social in India. We use Meta's ad architecture — pixel, Conversions API, lookalike audiences, Advantage+ campaigns — to deliver efficient reach and measurable ROAS across Facebook and Instagram together.

LinkedIn

The highest-intent channel for B2B and SaaS. We turn dense products into thought-leadership and demand-gen content, position founders as category voices, and run native lead-gen campaigns that lower CAC.

YouTube

Long-form authority plus Shorts for discovery. We build channels that compound — educational depth for trust, short-form storytelling for reach (the same engine behind our 464% reach growth for a trading platform in 90 days).

Pinterest

An underrated, high-intent discovery engine for D2C, interiors, lifestyle, and e-commerce. We treat it as a visual search channel — keyword-optimised pins that drive qualified traffic long after they're published.

WhatsApp

The retention and conversion workhorse. Broadcast campaigns, WhatsApp Business API flows, and segmented journeys that recover carts, drive repeat purchases, and keep your brand one tap from the customer.

Specialist social strategies for high-value verticals

Generalist agencies pitch the same playbook to everyone. We build for the verticals we know cold — which is also exactly how decision-makers look for an agency: by specialism.

A repeatable system, run in the open

We've built a delivery framework refined across 300+ brands. It isn't magic — it's a loop that's accountable at every turn. Reporting is weekly, collaboration is in Basecamp, and nothing hides behind a slide deck.

Audit & Strategy

We start by finding what's actually wrong: the channels, the funnel gaps, the wasted spend. Then we build a strategy mapped to your business outcomes, not a content calendar in a vacuum.

2

Build & Launch

Creative, copy, and campaign architecture, shipped on a clear schedule — no hand-waving about "strategic alignment" before the first post goes out.

3

Test & Reallocate

Our reporting cycle is weekly, not monthly, so we catch underperformance early and move budget and creative effort toward what's working — while there's still a month left to win.

Report & Decide

Every client works with us on Basecamp, so progress, decisions, and deliverables are visible in one place. No black box, no "trust us" — you can see the work as it happens.

Real brands. Real movement.

What a social media retainer in India actually depends on

We don't hide pricing behind a "contact us" wall, because the real question isn't "what's the cost" — it's "what's driving it." The right number is the one that matches your goals — which is exactly what we scope in the audit.

Social media marketing FAQs

Direct answers — no filler, no maybes. Each answer opens with exactly what you need to know.

Ask us something specific

A full-service social media marketing agency in India plans, creates, and runs both organic and paid social campaigns across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook, and ties the results to business outcomes. At First Launch, that means one team owning content, paid media, community, and attribution reporting end to end.

Social media marketing in India typically ranges from around ₹40,000/month for focused organic management to ₹2,50,000/month for full-funnel programmes with significant paid media — the exact cost depends on platform count, ad budget, and creative volume rather than any flat rate. The biggest driver is usually paid media management complexity, not the content itself.

First Launch tracks social media ROI by connecting conversion tracking APIs, UTM mapping, and CRM attribution dashboards directly to pipeline revenue, leads, and sales — not likes or impressions. Reporting runs weekly, so spend can be reallocated toward what's working before the month ends.

LinkedIn and YouTube are the strongest channels for B2B and SaaS lead generation because they let you reach enterprise decision-makers through targeted, context-rich content and native lead-gen forms. We pair LinkedIn thought leadership with YouTube depth to lower customer acquisition cost.

Measurable results from organic social media usually take 3 to 6 months of consistent, high-quality content to build algorithmic authority and an engaged, converting community. Paid social can show signal much faster — often within the first few weeks of testing.

We handle both, under one cross-functional team — because acquisition (paid) and retention (organic + community) work best when they're not split across separate vendors. This is the core of how we own outcomes across the full funnel.

Yes — we run compliance-first social for healthcare and fintech, aligning content to India's DPDP Act, ASCI guidelines, and RBI/SEBI advertising standards (and global standards like HIPAA for international clients). Trust-building education content is central to how we market regulated brands.

Yes — while we're based in Bangalore, we work with brands across India and internationally, including in the US and UK markets. Our strategies are built to scale across regions, not just metros.

Let's stop guessing and
start scaling

If your social media can't tell you what it earned, you don't have a content problem — you have a structure problem. We'll find it in the audit, show you exactly where the leaks are, and build the system that fixes it.

I had to always be involved with Pagish’s Digital Marketing efforts which would distract me from focusing on other core business activities. First Launch has taken that off my to-do completely with better brand presence and higher percentage of social media traffic to the website.

Dr. Rajani Battu

I worked with the team for the website of a very niche medical organization called Centre for Eye Genetics and Research (www.cegr.org). I found the team very thorough, very efficient. They responded timely to my various requests. I was a bit finicky with the detailing; they were very patient with me with the multiple changes I requested. Very professional overall.
