Tidal7

What Tidal7 does

Tidal7 Brand & Digital Private Limited is a full-service digital marketing agency incorporated in Maharashtra, India, with headquarters in Mumbai (Vikhroli) and a regional presence in Australia serving ANZ clients. The company provides integrated digital services spanning social media management, paid media and PPC, SEO, ORM, web and app development, video production, content marketing, and digital creative, supplemented by strategic branding, digital strategy, and behavioral economics consulting. Its offerings are delivered on a project and retainer basis through a direct, consultative sales motion targeting enterprise and mid-market brands.

The agency's core technology stack is composed of four proprietary frameworks and sub-brands: CLIP (a closed-loop performance enhancement solution for acquisition and retention built on the iBCD digital roadmap framework), D3CA (a Consumer Attention Toolkit repository of insights, videos, webinars, and case studies), Vortex7 (a strategic services sub-brand for senior marketing leaders), and a Behavioral Economics practice applying techniques such as temporal discounting, loss aversion, framing, and social norms to revenue growth problems. These are positioned as differentiated methodologies rather than software platforms; the business is fundamentally a professional services agency.

Tidal7 serves enterprise clients across retail, financial services, banking, travel, healthcare, FMCG/consumer goods, electronics, streaming, edtech, and B2B manufacturing. Named clients include Tata Croma, Reliance Smart, HDFC Life, HPCL, Bank of Baroda, Corning Gorilla Glass, Cipla Breathefree, Unilever (ANZ), Thomas Cook, Hotstar, Schoolnet/Geneo, Connectwell, Redington, Sensodent-K, and Olyv. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed, but pricing is custom, project/retainer-based, and quote-driven. The agency is privately held, founder-led by Co-Founder & CSO Venkat Mallik, with no external funding disclosed.
