One of India's largest footwear manufacturers
The brand was seen as reliable, comfortable and value for money, but not fashionable. A nationwide media campaign spotlighted the fashion quotient of a new range, from styling and colour to material quality, backed by designer tie-ups and fashion-week visibility, while every touchpoint stayed anchored in the brand's existing strengths.
A premier Indian business school, ranked among the top IIMs
The institute needed to close the media-visibility gap with its closest peer schools. A sustained nationwide campaign gave the media direct access to faculty research, student activity, placements and campus milestones, with the Director's views on education policy placed regularly and consistently.
An early entrant into insurance broking, and its online arm
Category-creation media positioning for a new insurance-broking business, CEO thought-leadership placement, and a PR-led customer acquisition campaign for its online retail arm.

Common questions
What's the difference between PR and reputation management?
Public relations focuses on earning coverage and managing media relationships for specific moments, such as a launch, an announcement, or a campaign. Reputation management is the ongoing, proactive work of shaping how a brand or leader is perceived over time, including anticipating and preparing for issues before they surface.
How is crisis communications different from day-to-day PR?
Crisis communications runs on pre-built protocols (message discipline, stakeholder sequencing, and rapid response) designed and rehearsed before an issue occurs, so the organisation isn't improvising under pressure when it matters most.
What does a corporate PR agency actually do day to day?
Day to day, a corporate PR agency pitches stories and manages journalist relationships, drafts and places executive commentary and thought leadership, monitors media and social conversation for reputation risk, and keeps crisis protocols current so the organisation can respond quickly when needed.
Does Finese PR handle both media relations and digital content?
Yes. Finese PR's corporate and public relations practice covers media relations, executive visibility and thought leadership, crisis and issues management, and digital and content strategy as one integrated practice, not as separate add-on services.
