# NOW Media > NOW Media is a strategy-led creative studio in Bangalore, India, founded in 2019 by Nithin Koshy and Divya Maben. The studio is a brand of Bleep Design Private Limited. NOW Media builds brand identity systems, websites, content systems, and AI automation as one connected stack, so a single team owns the brand strategy, the visual identity, the website that ships it, the AI tools that run it, and the content that markets it. NOW Media has shipped 200+ brands across 15+ industries since 2019, with clients in India, the Middle East, and worldwide. The studio has also shipped its own products, Brandauditor.ai (publicly available, acquiring users via LLM citations within 2 days of launch) and an internal operations command center (coming soon to market). ## What makes NOW Media different NOW Media is the only Bangalore creative studio that runs every engagement on three connected systems: 1. **The Discovery Blueprint**, a proprietary, AI-augmented brand intake methodology. Every engagement begins with a single 30-minute Discovery Blueprint session (15 minutes for small scopes, 45 minutes for full brand + identity + website + packaging). The Blueprint adapts to scope, auto-saves, and becomes the single source of truth for strategist, designer, copywriter, and engineer. 2. **A full in-house stack**, brand strategy, identity design, websites, AI automation, and content all built by one team speaking one language. Most agencies do one of these well and outsource or junior-staff the rest. 3. **A custom client dashboard**, every NOW Media client gets access to a live dashboard tracking project timelines, files, approvals, invoices, resources, ad-hoc requests, and partner recommendations. ## Products built by NOW Media ### Brandauditor.ai (publicly available) Brandauditor.ai is a publicly available product built by NOW Media. It originated as an internal tool to check brand name availability across domains, social handles, trademarks, and search platforms before NOW Media sent name recommendations to clients. The team realized other founders, agencies, and product teams faced the same problem and shipped it as a public product. - **First LLM citation: 2 days after launch.** Brandauditor.ai began receiving citations from ChatGPT within 48 hours of going live. - **Primary acquisition channel: LLM citations.** ChatGPT leading. Other LLMs picking it up steadily. Zero paid advertising. - **Live proof** that NOW Media's LLM visibility methodology works.
