Commenting on the launch, Abhirup Datta, CEO, Performance Practice Media Solutions, dentsu India & CEO, Sokrati India said, “Performance marketing is entering a new chapter. The winning model will bring creative, media and measurement together to deliver outcomes at scale. With Results in a Box, our commitment is to move beyond selling individual services and bring everything needed to achieve a clearly defined business outcome into one connected model. Performance creative is what makes that outcome repeatable, allowing brands to continuously learn, adapt and scale. Dentsu Performance Studio brings this thinking to life, and the addition of Vidhu Ravinath and Archisman Sarangi, with their strong track records across performance and creative, gives us the leadership to build this next generation of performance marketing for our clients.”

Vidhu Ravinath and Archisman Sarangi added, “Performance marketing has changed fundamentally. Performance 2.0 was built around playbooks and teams. Performance 3.0 requires an always-on engine where every creative decision is informed by performance. Dentsu Performance Studio brings creative strategy, AI production and media together on one connected data system. Our ambition is to build India’s largest performance creative factory, delivering more than 1,000 assets every month. But output is not the point.
