two founders, no clients,
no playbook.
We started in November 2022 with nothing but the belief that brands deserved better than what most agencies were offering. Today we are a 25+ member team managing over ₹180 crore of ad spend in the last twelve months across thirty-odd brands.
who we are
Beyond Ads is a performance marketing agency based in Hyderabad. We manage paid advertising for D2C brands across Meta, Google, Amazon and quick commerce.
We are not the biggest agency. We are not trying to be. We work with roughly thirty handpicked brands at a time, and that number is a deliberate ceiling rather than a stage we are growing out of.
The founders are still in the accounts. Not ceremonially. Bhanu runs Meta, creative strategy and quick commerce. Krishna runs Google, YouTube and Amazon. Between them and the twenty-five people here, nobody on your account is learning on your budget.
the numbers
what we believe
Most agencies treat client relationships as transactions. Hit the numbers, send the report, move on. We think that is broken.
The brands we work with are built by founders who have put everything on the line. Their ad spend is not a joke. It is their runway, their growth, their survival.
Our average client stays with us for thirty months. In an industry where six month churn is normal, that number means something. It means we are not just running ads, we are building partnerships.
the culture
We are direct. If something is not working, we say it. If you made a mistake, own it. If you disagree with someone, tell them. No politics, no passive-aggressive Slack messages, no “that’s not my job.”
We care about craft. The difference between good and great is in the details. The naming convention, the creative brief, the way you explain a CPM spike to a client. We notice these things.
We are still figuring things out. We do not have all the answers. What we do have is a commitment to getting better every week.
a note from the founders
Neither of us started Beyond Ads with a grand vision. We just knew that the agency experience, both as clients and as people who had worked inside agencies, was mostly terrible. Slow responses. Generic strategies. People who did not really understand your business telling you what to do.
We wanted to build something different. An agency where the people doing the work actually cared. Where founders felt like they had a partner rather than a vendor. Where we would tell you the truth even when it was uncomfortable.
That is also why we are both still in the accounts. Between us we cover every channel we sell, so nobody here is reviewing work they could not do themselves.
We are not perfect. We are still learning, still building, still figuring out how to do this better. But we show up every day trying to earn the trust our clients place in us.

what founders say
Every recommendation on Bhanu’s LinkedIn, quoted as written. Some of them still call him Chandra.
Beyond Ads gives critical data driven insights that are often overlooked by D2C entrepreneurs. That’s where they are unique with their approach.
Chandra's energy, thoughtfulness, and openness to feedback make him a great partner!! He scaled Summer Away's revenue 3x while upholding quality. I'd recommend giving him and the BA team for your performance ads.
I have had the privilege of working with Bhanu, whose deep meta-level insights in performance marketing and e-commerce transformations helped scale our brand exponentially. His strategic vision, analytical rigor, and hands-on execution drove impressive growth and boosted our ROI. Beyond ads (pun intended), he is a collaborative, innovative partner who elevates every segment of the business with his valuable insights and out of the box thinking. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his team.
I have had the pleasure of working with Bhanu and the Beyond Ads team and am continually impressed by his dedication, expertise, and innovative approach. Bhanu is a true and through expert in performance marketing and his passion is contagious. There's a lot to learn from him. He has demonstrated a remarkable ability to drive impactful advertising, creative and business strategies that deliver large measurable results. In my 0 to 1 journey, he's played a large role and has added significant value through his deep understanding of digital marketing, combined with his proactive mindset and excellent communication skills.
Bhanu is a data driven marketeer, who has a deep understanding of creative and copy that converts. Not only is he structured and organised, but also a lovely individual with high integrity. Two thumbs up for Bhanu and the entire team at BeyondAds.
I am delighted to recommend Bhanu from Beyond Ads, a remarkable professional whose expertise in performance marketing has been instrumental in scaling our brand's presence and impact. Working with him has always felt more like having a strategic partner by our side than merely an agency relationship.
Bhanu is one of the most hard working, passionate, insightful and thorough professionals I have ever worked with. He loves what he does - lives and breathes performance marketing - and cares for his clients as if they were part of his own team. In the months we have worked together so far, he has set a standard for excellence and passion within my company - when I recruit for any of our brands, I now look for "more people with an energy and attitude like Bhanu". I recommend him highly.
Bhanu is the ultimate combination of expertise and passion. He eats, sleeps, and breathes performance marketing and is absolutely brimming with great ideas. He's strategic, focused, and relentless. Qualities that are hard to come by. It's one of life's great joys to work with people as passionate and knowledgeable about what they do as Bhanu!
Bhanu is an exceptional performance marketer who has also grown to be a dear friend. We've worked extensively together over the last two years and I cannot stress enough on the immense value that he generates for us. He's good natured, tenacious, and just cares about all his clients. We have constructive arguments and he pushes us as a brand to grow and truly respond to the needs of our customers. He's overall a wonderful person to work with. He's a first principles thinker and that's why he is able to cut through the noise so effectively.
Chandra's dedication towards the brand he works with goes a long way. With incredible foresight and knowledge within the digital space he always ensures to help a brand grow in the best way possible. A great person to work with indeed :)
Chandra is passionate, dedicated, and a great team member. He is skilled at what he does and is sincere and hardworking. What impresses me about Chandra is his unique and analytical approach to digital marketing and his deep understanding of the field.
