The idea

Release like Netflix, Prime Video and JioStar.

The biggest platforms plan every release down to the day, with the right partner on every job and every rupee where it reaches the most people. ReleaseBuddy is the vehicle that gives your team the same: in your language, at your budget.

    The plan

    Every job, every date and who owns it, built with them on one sheet, and backed by what worked on 82+ real campaigns.

  • 03
    The vendors

    Who to call for each job, what they've done before and what they charge, with briefs and quotes in one place.

    The execution

A new season? Keep your fans. Find new ones.

Your existing audience is waiting, and the plan looks after them. It also goes after the people who have never watched, so the next season is bigger than the last.
