After more than 15 years in public relations, Manoj Barman has announced the launch of Elevate One Media, a premium PR and executive branding consultancy.

The firm will specialise in CXO profiling, high-impact media placements, and strategic reputation management for leaders, corporates, and premium brands across both national and international markets.

The new venture builds on Barman’s experience from Whiz Consulting, which he established in 2009, and his three-and-a-half-year tenure spearheading Laqshya Media Group’s PR vertical.

Designed as a definitive partner for executive branding, Elevate One Media will craft authentic leadership narratives that resonate on LinkedIn, secure coverage in leading trade and mainstream publications, and bridge the gap between corporate vision and media influence.

Beyond thought leadership content, the agency will produce podcast series in association with media, develop award strategies, and facilitate speaking engagements to position clients as authoritative voices in their sectors. Operating from Delhi/NCR, Elevate One Media will serve clients with a global outlook, delivering strategic communications at both national and international levels.

Central to its philosophy is the belief that reputation is the ultimate return on investment. This client-first approach extends to crisis communications and capital-markets messaging, ensuring swift and transparent responses when stakes are high.

Barman describes Elevate One Media as the distillation of his learnings from Whiz Consulting and Laqshya PR into a nimble, premium agency rooted in integrity, agility, and curiosity - with a bespoke approach aimed at helping clients make a lasting impact.

Barman said, “In today’s dynamic media ecosystem, it’s not enough for CXOs and brands to simply exist; they must be positioned as premium voices in their industries. At Elevate One Media, we focus on precision-driven CXO profiling and strategic reputation management to ensure our clients are seen, respected, and sought after by the right audiences. We listen deeply, then craft positioning and campaigns that spark meaningful conversations where it matters most. Our mission is to position visionary leaders where they belong in the spotlight so the right media not only notice, but actively endorse their expertise. This is just the start, and  I’m looking forward to collaborating with visionary leaders, brands, and associates who want to make a  lasting impact.”
