For the team over at Virtual Pebbles, trends and the way businesses perceived the process of sales and marketing was the biggest challenge. It was a huge challenge back from 2012 to 2017, where clarity on how digitally using technology, activities can boost sales via marketing was not widely understood.

Scenarios changed dramatically in India with telecom companies disrupting the digital arena and industries taking the change positively. “Our struggles vanished slowly, and today in 2020, Virtual Pebbles, with brands like ‘tera mera uska’ and Branding & Marketing café, are successful with firm clients and have a good presence in various states of India,” informs Tarun.

The Visionary

Virtual Pebbles’ idea was to get Indian businesses online with technology and marketing strengths working in equilibrium.

Tarun Gurwara visioned the same in 2012 and initiated this company in Toronto also started with a team in India. Being certified on the software development front as a PMP (project management professionals) and certified on various digital branding, marketing, and advertising fronts with his strong strategy on forming, mentoring and growing Virtual Pebbles with brands like ‘tera mera uska’ and branding and marketing cafe, has catapulted the whole operation in India, with a bang, since 2017.

‘Tera mera uska’ was awarded by the Vibrant Gujarat Startup summit as No. 1 in 2019.

Making the Best of a Bad Situation, and Preparing for The Digital Future

The pandemic was a major downside for the nation and as well as the whole wide world. But, as things would have it, people were stuck at home and the primary mode of communication was digital. What more could a digital marketing agency ask for?

“We made the most of what the pandemic had to offer our customers and us. Sure, there were limitations, and everyone was busy adjusting to the new normal, but we tried our best to cope up with the digital world’s ‘new normal’, and we sure did a great job on that, “says the team of Virtual Pebbles.

India has many digital marketing companies along with digital advertising agencies and freelancers who are working fantastically for many Indian businesses and for companies overseas too.

This is precisely where Virtual Pebbles steps in. It is by far, the strongest in Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab with few pockets of Maharashtra as – the only technology-driven digital marketing company with a great sense of how marketing strategies on digital platforms can be activated by using technology and not just releasing content to get inbound leads and inquiries. A true digital transformation company.

“2021 is going to be enormously huge for our Vlogging platforms ‘tera mera uska’ (teramerauska.com) and Content Cafe (brandingmarketingcafe.com),” explains Tarun.

While the marketing trends in 2020 have already brought some headsup of hot new channels and interesting tactics, Virtual Pebbles have already adopted that ‘new normal’ of the web-world.

Change is a privilege; it is what you do with it that matters. With the forced change that was faced by the company, it believes that the team has made their way through it with nothing but grace and positive aggression.

The business environment and technology are reshaping the industry as well as marketing skills, which is making all and everyone reconsider the ongoing evolution in business. The future of digital marketing and digital advertising is going to be challenging in terms of skills, competition, techniques, results, etc., but the team is ready for it. “We have been successfully serving our customers and we wish to continue doing so, “states Tarun. As stated above, the Covid-19 pandemic has created havoc nationwide but also given a big boost to the industries related to the digital and the internet world, despite their shortcomings and limitations.

As a result, digital marketing agencies are going to grow rapidly in 2021. It is a proven fact that connecting potential customers online has been effective and less expensive than conventional methods.

Digital marketing usually makes a strong brand and business presence in the online world. It also gives equal opportunities to small and big businesses to advertise their service/products.

So, if you get disillusioned with the same old techniques or realise most of the marketing firms are not up to the job, give Virtual Pebbles a call, and ready yourself for a whole new experience.
