Vantage Advertising & Marketing

Vantage Advertising & Marketing is located over in the Dapodi Maruti Industrial Estate, right in the C Building near the station. Being in A 17 means we get a lot of noise from the trains, but it’s a convenient spot for getting things delivered and sent out. We do a lot of printing and design work here, mostly for other businesses in the industrial area. The office is usually cluttered with paper samples and half-finished banners. It isn't the cleanest place, but we know where everything is. My partner and I started this after working for a bigger agency and realizing we preferred doing things our own way. We handle the marketing side of things without much fuss. Some days we are stuck behind computers for ten hours, and other days we are out meeting clients at their shops. The Maruti Industrial Estate is a busy place, always something happening next door. We don’t have a big reception area or coffee machine. Usually, we just pull up a chair and talk through what the customer wants. It’s practical work. We’ve had some equipment break down recently, which was a headache, but we got it fixed eventually. Most of our clients come from word of mouth around Dapodi. We just keep our heads down and get the jobs done as they come in. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps us busy and the bills are paid. We like the independence of running our own small shop.
