Why We’re Choosing to Compete with Big Agencies (and Not Just Freelancers)
There’s no shortage of freelancers, boutique studios, and small companies hustling in the creative space. But at Studio 91, we’re not trying to play small-ball. Our sights are firmly set on competing with the big agencies. Here’s why.
1. Big Agencies Own the Biggest Opportunities
Large agencies handle the brands that shape industries. Their client portfolios are full of legacy players and ambitious startups with significant marketing budgets. These brands need the kind of strategic creativity and operational scale that freelancers and micro-studios often can’t deliver.
By targeting these opportunities, we’re pushing ourselves into projects with greater impact—not just more volume.
2. We’re Built for Scale, Not Just One-Offs
Freelancers and small teams do fantastic work, but they often focus on individual projects. At Studio 91, we’re designing systems and teams that can handle complex campaigns end-to-end, from concept to execution, across multiple formats and platforms.
That means we’re not just making one great video. We’re building:
Branded content ecosystems
Marketing calendars
Multi-platform campaigns
Strategic BTL activations
This approach makes us a long-term partner, not just a one-off vendor.
3. Big Agencies Can’t Move Like We Do
The traditional agency model is heavy and slow. Layers of approval, bloated overheads, and cookie-cutter thinking often stifle true creativity.
We’re nimble enough to experiment with new formats, AI-powered workflows, and fresh storytelling techniques. But we combine that agility with the robust creative direction and professionalism that major brands expect.
4. We Want to Redefine the Standard
Too many brands settle for “good enough” content because they think only the big agencies can deliver scale. We’re here to show them otherwise.
We’ve already produced work for brands like Mercedes, HDFC, IDBI, and Dr. Reddy’s—proving that a filmmaker-led studio can offer Netflix-level storytelling, at agency-level scale, without the bureaucracy.
5. We’re Building a Brand, Not Just a Service
Freelancers and smaller outfits can be limited by bandwidth and resources. We’re investing in building a recognizable creative brand, one that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest agencies and attracts the kind of talent and clients that want to do game-changing work.
The Bottom Line
We respect freelancers and smaller studios—they’re essential to the industry. But Studio 91’s mission is bigger. We’re here to challenge the agency status quo and prove that brands don’t need a giant holding company to get world-class creative work.
If you’re a brand tired of slow-moving agencies and uninspired campaigns, we’re here to show you another way.
