The Indian creative economy is booming — but scattered. A brand may need five different agencies to handle its content, editing, social media, PR, and visual storytelling. That fragmentation slows growth and inflates cost — exactly the problem Creatiq Media and Creatiq Visuals are solving.
Founded by three young entrepreneurs under the umbrella of Expantra Tech Pvt. Ltd., Creatiq is a hybrid creative and marketing company designed to offer end-to-end brand solutions. Their edge? Strategy and execution under one roof — backed by a lean, dedicated team of editors, marketers, designers, and strategists.
And they’re doing it all while two out of the three founders are still in college.

🧠 The Business Behind the Brand
Unlike traditional agencies that focus only on services, Creatiq operates as a multi-brand ecosystem, with structured verticals:
Creatiq Media: Handles digital marketing, content planning, brand positioning, ad creative, social media management, and digital PR (including press releases and founder features).
Creatiq Visuals: Focuses on video editing, reels, podcast post-production, motion graphics, and visual storytelling assets for creators and companies.
> “Most founders don’t fail because of a bad product — they fail because no one knows their story. That’s where branding and content come in. We help founders go from startup to standout,” says Kazi Abu Ansari, CEO of Creatiq.

🔍 What Makes Creatiq Different?
In a market flooded with freelance designers and agency clones, Creatiq has created a new model — merging the speed of a startup with the quality of an agency, and the structure of a tech company.
Here’s how:
Everything under one roof — content, visuals, PR, campaigns
Fast delivery — with lean internal processes and live client feedback
Affordable scaling — monthly retainer packages for growing brands
And they’re not building this with VC money. They’re bootstrapped and profitable, with a clear revenue plan.
> “Anyone can build a company today, but turning it into a brand? That’s where most fail — not by fault, but by poor branding. At Creatiq Media & Visuals, we bridge that gap and turn founders into unforgettable brands,” Kazi adds.
