blend × Impresario Partnership Proposal · 2026
Cohort 02 · Pitch Deck

Blend Crew×Socials.

Where Bengaluru's Gen Z lives, builds, and shows up — a partnership proposal from the Brand & Partnerships team at Tessarakt.

01 · Setting the scene
why now

Gen Z doesn't trust ads. They trust the people who show up.

Socials

You built the room.

One of the most loved IRL hangouts in the country. The kind of place Gen Z chooses to spend its night, its rent, and its phone storage on.

×
Blend

We built the crowd.

The creator community that fills rooms like yours — and shoots, writes, posts, and tells the story while it's happening.

This deck is about what happens when those two things meet — and why we'd love Socials to be the first brand our newest cohort makes something with.
blend Why now 02 / 13
02 · Who we are

Blend is Tessarakt's Gen Z creator community and content platform.

What we are not

The familiar pitches.

×An agency you brief, wait for, and approve in rounds.
×An influencer roster you rent by the post.
×A WhatsApp group calling itself a community.
What we actually are

A working ecosystem.

Young creators, writers, videographers, designers, culture-makers.
Treating Bengaluru as their canvas — online and offline.
A creative studio, a content house, and a community — running at the same time.
In short: Blend is where Bengaluru's young creative class actually hangs out.

04 · The team

Blend Crew is a curated cohort of Gen Z creators we hire, train, and deploy.

A small, full-stack team that lives inside a city's culture and produces content from the inside out.

05 · What we bring

Four things, simply.

01

Event coverage that feels like the event.

Multi-format capture — reels, photo, written, behind-the-scenes. Built for the way Gen Z scrolls, not the way brands brief.

02

Community access — not a rented audience.

Crew members bring their own networks: artists, musicians, skaters, designers, scene regulars. We are the audience.

03

Real Gen Z reach.

Across our handles and the Crew's personal channels, we reach the Bengaluru 18–28 cohort brands keep failing to talk to.

04

Pre-event hype, not just post-event recap.

Teaser content, creator POVs, countdowns, drops. By the time the doors open, the room is already warm.

06 · Cohort 1, the receipts

Cohort 1 wrapped at The Blended Show — "Bengaluru's Best Kept."

A live showcase at Dhurti BhoomiVerse, April 2026. Five interns. Twelve weeks. The kind of cycle a small Crew can actually power end-to-end.

08 · For Socials

What Socials gains from this collaboration.

01

Authentic Gen Z content, on tap.

Not stock-feeling brand content. Footage and stories made by the people you're actually trying to reach, shot in your spaces, on their terms.

02

Venue partnerships for future Blend events.

Socials becomes a home for Blend drops — Crew showcases, creator nights, listening sessions, magazine launches. Built-in footfall of the exact demographic walking through your doors.

03

Social media collaborations.

Co-produced series, takeovers, recurring formats. Your handles get a Gen Z voice without losing your own.

04

Access to the creative economy.

Through Blend, Socials plugs into 50+ creative businesses, the broader Bazaar audience, and an active pipeline of musicians, designers, and culture-makers.

09 · Shapes

How a partnership could look.

a few starting shapes — not a fixed menu
A · Home venue

Socials as home base.

Socials becomes the recurring host for Blend Crew showcases and select Blend Bazaar drops. Crew documents every edition, end-to-end.

B · Content partnership

A monthly co-produced series.

A Crew-shot, Socials-hosted format that lives on both handles. People-led, character-first — the kind of thing your regulars share before we even tag you.

C · Event coverage

The full Crew treatment.

Socials' own programming gets pre-hype, live capture, and post-event edits. By the time the doors open, the room is already warm.

D · The combined play

The Long Run Game.

All of the above, packaged. One signature relationship between Bengaluru's loudest venue and its most embedded creator network.

We'd rather co-design it with you than pitch you a template.

10 · The Specific Ask

Be Cohort 2's first yes.

Blend Crew × Fan Social IP
01 · Why you

Creative in your own way.

Socials has built something that doesn't look or sound like anything else in the city. Cohort 2 should learn what that looks like from the inside.

02 · Why now

People-first.

The way Socials treats its regulars, its staff, its artists — that's the ethos we want our Crew to absorb in their first weeks, not unlearn later.

03 · Why this

Big on collaboration.

Fan Social is an IP designed to be made with a community, not broadcast at one. That's exactly the energy a new cohort needs in the room.

we'd love for you to be that first yes
blend×Impresario impresario.co.in · the ask 11 / 13
blend × Impresario · impresario.co.in
Blend needs venues with soul. Socials needs storytellers with reach.

Both of us are already speaking to the same room. We're just suggesting we stop doing it separately.

— a working partnership
blend×Impresario impresario.co.in · why this works 12 / 13
blend×Impresario 13 · Next step

Let's get in a room — together.

A 30-minute working session with your team and ours. We'd bring Cohort 2 with us — the actual humans, not just the deck — so you can meet the team that would be making this with you.

You bring the questions. We leave with a shape.
