Sandalwood's film marketing agency in Bengaluru

Judge an agency by evidence, and ours is public. SouthSide Studio is a Sandalwood-first film marketing agency in Bengaluru. We handled the complete marketing for Bail, working directly with KVN Productions, and for KD – The Devil and Mango Pachcha. We also handled marketing for City Lights, working directly with Duniya Vijay. We also run social campaigns for Ramayana, working directly with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, and for Lambodhara 2.0. Each has a case study at southsidestudio.in/case-studies, where our client collaborations are marked separately from our Namma Sandalwood pages' own film coverage. Our dashboards at southsidestudio.in/campaigns include both, with post-by-post numbers. Ask any agency to show its results the same way.

Meme marketing places your brand inside content people actually want to share — jokes, trends and cultural references native to the platform — instead of interrupting them with an ad. Because the audience shares it voluntarily, distribution costs nothing beyond the creative, and the message arrives with the credibility of the page that posted it rather than the suspicion of a banner.

We own and operate them — 100+ pages across Karnataka. There is no reseller between you and the feed, which is why we can publish within 72 hours, control exactly how the creative reads, and show you the underlying numbers instead of a summary someone else gave us.

It depends on how many pages you need, the creative mix and the campaign length, so we quote per brief rather than off a rate card. Our packages run from always-on brand presence through to full-network launch blitzes. Send us the brief and you'll get a plan, a page list and a views projection back.

Most campaigns are live within 72 hours of a signed brief. Trend-jacks — where we build creative around a cultural moment while it's still moving — go out in hours, because the people writing the posts are the people who own the pages.

Our network has city communities in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi, Belagavi, Shivamogga and Hassan, alongside statewide Sandalwood film and fan pages and niche communities. We plan digital publishing around the audience in your brief. Staff visit clients throughout Bengaluru.

Our staff visit clients throughout Bengaluru. Client meetings are available 24 hours a day, Monday–Sunday (IST); call or WhatsApp to arrange the time and place.

Every client gets a private live dashboard that updates while the campaign runs, showing each post's views, likes and shares pulled directly from the Meta API. At the end of every campaign you also get a written report covering what we ran, what landed and what we'd change. Our own network numbers are published publicly for the same reason.

No. Kannada film promotion is our deepest specialism, but the same network has run campaigns for OTT platforms, food delivery and restaurant brands, retail, apps, fitness and healthcare. Each is on our brand campaigns page.

Yes. We run the Karnataka leg of the release: Kannada-language creative on our Kannada film and meme pages, Kannada creators and reviewers, timed to your Karnataka dates and coordinated with your distributor and home-market agency. See the plans for Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi films. Our staff meet clients in Bengaluru; teams elsewhere brief us on WhatsApp or email.

AI reads every post we've ever published, attributes each one to a campaign, and joins it to live performance data. That's how we can tell you which creative actually moved a comparable title rather than which one we remember liking, and how our dashboards stay current without anyone compiling a spreadsheet.
