Pune Digital Marketing Agency

Our story in Pune starts with a metro ride and a cup of cutting chai. Our founder, Ashutosh Sharma, came to Pune for what was meant to be a short business trip. He left with the conviction that Pune was India's most underrated talent capital — a city full of designers, writers, and marketers whose work could rival anything coming out of the bigger metros. That trip is the reason SocialEyes' registered business address is in Pune to this day.

Why a Delhi-founded agency planted its flag in Pune

What Ashutosh saw on that first visit kept pulling him back. Pune was full of independent restaurants, boutique studios, D2C brands, and craftspeople with a story to tell — and most of them were getting steamrolled online by bigger national chains with bigger marketing budgets. He believed Pune deserved a digital marketing partner that actually got the city: the food culture of Koregaon Park, the startup energy of Baner, the heritage charm of Camp, the IT might of Hinjewadi.

So we opened a SocialEyes office in Koregaon Park. We hired Pune-based talent. We did the unglamorous work of walking into local restaurants and shops and earning trust the slow way — through results, not pitches.

Then COVID hit. Like every responsible business, we shut the physical office to protect our team. What we did not do was abandon Pune. Every team member who served Pune from that office now works remotely, and our registered base is still here. The city is in our company DNA — not just our incorporation papers.

Case study: DOKK Restaurant, Pune

A few years ago a quiet, beautifully-designed restaurant in Pune called DOKK approached us. The food was outstanding. The interiors were Instagram-worthy. But weeknights were quiet, and the team was relying almost entirely on walk-ins. They needed Pune to know they existed.

We took on DOKK as a full brand-and-marketing engagement. Here is the short version of what we did:

• Rebuilt their social presence with a consistent, mouth-watering content style and a posting cadence that matched dining peaks.
• Ran tightly-targeted Meta and Google ads aimed at Pune food-lovers and corporate event planners within a defined radius of the restaurant.
• Set up a steady stream of Pune-based food creators and micro-influencers to document genuine experiences at DOKK.
• Managed reviews and online reputation proactively — replying to every review, surfacing the best ones, and learning from the rest.
• Built a dedicated funnel for private parties and corporate bookings, which became the biggest revenue unlock of the engagement.

What changed in 6 months

By month six, DOKK's weeknights looked like the weekends used to. The private-party funnel alone covered our entire monthly retainer many times over — which is exactly the kind of math we want our clients doing.

In Ramesh's own words

"SocialEyes has provided excellent support in branding DOKK and the upkeep of our online reputation. They understood Pune, they understood our restaurant, and they were honest with us when something was not working. Our weekends were always strong — what they helped us build is a full week of business. The private-party bookings they brought in alone changed our economics. They feel like part of our team."

How we work with Pune businesses today

Even without a Koregaon Park office, working with us as a Pune client is straightforward. We meet on video. We visit when it matters — for shoots, brand launches, and big strategy reviews. And because the team is remote-first, we are responsive on the channels that actually matter to a small business owner: WhatsApp, calls, and the occasional weekend save.

If you run a Pune business and you are tired of agencies that treat you like a smaller version of their Mumbai or Bangalore clients, we would love to talk. You will get a partner that knows the city and treats your numbers like they are ours.

Frequently asked questions

Is SocialEyes a Pune-based digital marketing agency?

Yes. SocialEyes is registered in Pune and has worked with Pune businesses for years. We previously had a Koregaon Park office which we closed during COVID; the team that served Pune now works remotely, and our registered business address is still in the city.

Can you help my Pune restaurant get more bookings and private parties?

Yes — this is a particular strength. Our DOKK case study above outlines exactly the playbook: organic social, targeted local ads, influencer storytelling, review management, and a dedicated private-party booking funnel.

Who is the founder of SocialEyes?

Ashutosh Sharma founded SocialEyes. After visiting Pune and seeing the depth of local talent and brand opportunity in the city, he chose to register the business in Pune — a decision that still shapes how the agency operates.
