Vastada Consulting – Changing the face of the PR and Marketing Industry
This year has not been less than a revolution when it comes to the world of business. Although there was a fair share of ups and downs, it all led to new developments and encouraged the companies and firms to adapt to tackle the underlying situations. All this did not stop new businesses and start-ups to emerge and we all saw a spurt in the number of new businesses and start-ups. With the increasing number of businesses and start-ups, the competition in the market is also rapidly increasing.
In the midst of all this, we tend to forget how tough it becomes for a company or start-up to get through the competition and make sure their products/services reach their targeted audience and deserve the name and position in the market that it truly deserves. As new businesses and start-ups already have a lot on their plates when they’re starting up, therefore it becomes very tedious and difficult to keep up with PR, marketing, brand building, promotions, and other associated tasks.
In comes, Vastada Consulting, the upcoming and leader in PR, communication, and strategy consulting. With a very high client satisfaction rate, Vastada Consulting emerges as the leader in the PR and marketing industry providing highly unique and specific solutions and all that in one place. With a wide range of services offered, Vastada Consulting delivers on its promise of providing expert, efficient, scalable, and best-in-class solutions. They not only provide a high standard and quality solutions but also come out as one of the most reputed and sought-after companies in the PR and marketing industry.
In conversation with the Founder & CEO of Vastada Consulting, Neha Yaduvanshi. Let’s find more about Vastada Consulting, its services offered, and her entrepreneurial journey.
Tell us about Vastada Consulting, and the journey along the way.
Vastada Consulting is a leading strategy, communication, and PR consulting firm for private, public, government, and social sector organizations. Our firm specializes in campaign design and execution, creating leadership positioning with unique ideas, crafting successful and powerful ideas, concepts, and stories through words, pictures, and video across broadcast, online, and print media for our clients. Vastada Consulting ranked among the top 20 PR agencies in India. While our reach is global, our approach is local to provide dynamic and target-focused media coverage to our clients.
Vastada Consulting is an integrated strategy and communication agency delivering Public Relations and Influencer Marketing also. The success of our clients is our ultimate goal and we are proud to share that our PR has helped our clients in getting visibility, building credibility, winning prestigious awards, securing funds, and entering into new markets.
I decided to pursue my dream in 2016- that’s when Vastada Consulting was born. I would say that we are still in our initial stage and have a long road ahead, but we are proud of what we have accomplished in such a short time. Being a woman and young CEO, it was difficult to gain the trust of clients as unfortunately, society seemed to believe that a woman couldn’t accomplish her goals. Additionally, I believe young CEOs (be it any gender) do face trust issues. It is really difficult to convince your first client and give them a reason to invest in your service. But once you get that opportunity, it’s up to you how you utilize it.

After my first client, my team was only 2-3 members but I am proud of my leadership skills as because of that one project, that one client- we gained the trust of many more as we were recommended further by them. It’s not like the first person I met with was ready to work with me. I faced rejections, failures but never gave up.
The first few rejections hit me hard, but the thought of packing up never came. The initial time was a fight but I guess it’s safe to say that I emerged victoriously. Today, renowned brands, start-ups, family businesses, and political organizations are our clients and trust us with their strategy and communication. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Please talk about your professional experience, and the reason you chose a career in Marketing and Public Relations and the diversity changes you noticed in the PR industry over the years.
Before this, I gained expertise by working across various MNCs and studying how the market works. I worked in the marketing and sales departments particularly because it helped me understand the crucial points. To run a business effectively, you need a very strong marketing game plan.
By gaining expertise by working with renowned brands, I learned a lot and was able to help with my ideas also. I have worked in the Automation Industry Section, MMTC-PAMP India Private Limited, Franchise India Brand Limited, and The Global Green Company Limited before kick-starting my venture.
I guess interesting. This is a digital era. And every business out there, no matter how amazing it is needs marketing and PR to reach the desired audience. I knew I had a strong eye for the correct platforms, the correct research, and the analysis needed to build a strong brand. This is the reason I chose to fulfill my dream of being the CEO of a PR firm.
Also, many people around me were completely unaware of the power of marketing. Even though marketing is all around us- the banners we see, the advertisements we watch, the slogans, the hoarders, the air balloons- everywhere something or the other is being promoted. My mind was always filled with ideas about what I could do for all brands.
My journey has been amazing. I have learned and grown each day. I do feel that the sector has evolved but I feel there is so much more to do. PR began receiving traction only in the past few years. Before that people were completely unaware of the power of PR. I believe we, as PR people, need to be more cautious of what a brand strategy should look like, every area needs to be examined- the most important of them- the public reaction.
I have learned that forward-thinking and diversity-focused communications are very important otherwise clients can very easily give up on you. I have always focused on hiring people from different backgrounds to promote diversity so that it can be reflected in the work we do. In a nutshell, PR has evolved, but we can work more on the diversity issue.
