Creative Strokes Media | PR & Media Management for Artists

About Creative Strokes Media

Creative Strokes Media was founded on a deep-seated passion for the arts and a firm belief in the power of visibility. Our journey began in the bustling cultural landscape of Bengaluru, where we saw firsthand the incredible talent that often struggled to navigate the complexities of media and public relations. We set out to build a bridge, connecting artists with the audiences and opportunities they deserve.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower artists to share their unique stories and amplify their creative voices on local, national, and global stages. We understand that every artist's path is different, and we pride ourselves on developing bespoke strategies that honour individual journeys and artistic expressions. From painters and sculptors to dancers, musicians, and performers, we work across diverse art forms.

The world of media is constantly evolving, and staying ahead requires expertise, dedication, and genuine connections. Our team brings together a wealth of experience in public relations, journalism, marketing, and the arts, allowing us to offer insights and strategies that are both effective and relevant. We are more than just a service provider; we are a partner invested in your success, celebrating every feature, interview, and mention alongside you.

We believe that impactful media presence is built on authenticity and narrative strength. We delve deep to understand the heart of your art, helping you articulate your vision in compelling ways that resonate with journalists, critics, and the public. Our commitment is to provide transparent, strategic support that frees you to focus on what you do best: creating art that moves, inspires, and transforms.

How We Work With You

1

Discovery & Strategy

Our partnership begins with a deep dive into your artistic practice, your journey, your aspirations, and your target audience. We discuss your past media experiences, current goals (be it an upcoming show, a new body of work, or building long-term recognition), and challenges. Based on this comprehensive understanding, we co-create a tailored media and PR strategy designed specifically to elevate your unique artistic profile and reach your desired outcomes.

Narrative Development

Every artist has a powerful story to tell, but translating that into a compelling narrative for media can be challenging. We work closely with you to refine your artist statement, bio, and key messages. We identify the most captivating angles of your work and background that will resonate with different media outlets and audiences, ensuring your story is authentic, engaging, and memorable.

Media Outreach

Leveraging our extensive network and understanding of the media landscape, we conduct targeted outreach.

Effective media engagement requires professional assets. We take the lead in developing essential materials, including polished press releases, comprehensive media kits, engaging online press rooms, and suggested interview talking points.

Coordination & Support

Once media interest is secured, we manage all coordination. This includes scheduling interviews, coordinating photoshoots, arranging studio visits, and facilitating access to your work. We provide guidance and support before and during interviews or media interactions, ensuring you feel prepared and can articulate your message effectively and authentically.
