Pressman Advertising Limited (Pressman) is an Indian advertising agency. The agency was founded by H.C. Suchanti (1922-1993) in Kolkata in the mid-1960s. Pressman has a network of 10 offices across India and employs over 80 people in its four divisions.

History[edit]

Pressman was founded in Kolkata by H.C. Suchanti as Pressman Advertising & Marketing in the mid-1960s as a one-man agency. The agency received INS (Indian Newspaper Society) accreditation in 1968. The agency set up its Mumbai office in 1978 followed by offices in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and other cities. In 2008, the agency was renamed Pressman Advertising Ltd.

In 1993 its founder H.C. Suchanti died, and the agency was taken over by his sons Niren Suchanti and Navin Suchanti. In 1993 Pressman won the Pioneer Award for Excellent Advertising in Newspapers.[1]

Pressman ranked as agency No.15 in 1998-1999,[2] No.10 in 1999-2000,[3] and No.12 in 2000-2001[4]).

In 1999 H.C. Suchanti’s grandson Rohan Suchanti (son of Dr. Niren Suchanti) joined the agency after completing his undergraduate studies in the USA.

In 2005, Pressman became a member of ECCO International Public Relations Ltd., a leading global network of independent PR agencies. Subsequently, the agency subscribed to the share capital of ECCO International.

Rohan Suchanti died on 19 November 2009 at the age of 34.

In September, 2013, Pressman Advertising Ltd. earned the distinction of becoming India’s first advertising agency to be listed on India’s major stock exchanges.[5][6][7][8][9] The company’s shares are listed on National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Pressman is a full-service agency with ISO 9001:2015 certification.[10] It is accredited with INS and DAVP (Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity) and a member of AAAI (Advertising Agencies Association of India) and IBF (Indian Broadcasting Federation).
