Want to be in Architectural Digest India? the honest way.

It depends on the format (a brand story online, a directory profile or a print page), the position, the issue or dates, and how many you run. You hear the full fee, plus GST, early in a 10-minute call, with what is and isn't included. If it's more than you want to spend, the call ends there.

The magazine shares its media kit with advertisers. On the call we take you through the current formats and rates, from a brand story on architecturaldigest.in to print pages, and send the details in writing. There's no charge for that conversation.

You get 100% of your money back. Architectural Digest India reviews every paid story before it runs and can decline one. If your story doesn't go live, Execlient refunds everything you paid within 7 working days, as our refund policy says.

You pay 100% upfront to EXECLIENT PVT. LTD, a registered company whose CIN and GSTIN are on this page, against a GST invoice. Never an individual. The format, how it's marked and the date are agreed in writing first, and if your story doesn't go live, you get it all back.

We don't promise any of those. It gives the architects, designers and clients who look you up a paid story on a title they know, to use in proposals, dealer decks and on your website. A link in a paid story should be marked as sponsored, so it brings readers, not rankings. If you need enquiries this month, ads are the better tool, and we run those too.

Through a paid brand story, or by pitching the editors. A paid story is written for Architectural Digest India's readers: we interview you and write it, you approve the draft, and the magazine reviews it before it runs. A self-written press release won't run as it is. For editorial coverage, send your project to AD India's editors directly; that route is free, and it's their call.

Your own. The brand story we arrange is about your work alone, told around your photographs. If anyone offers you a place in a roundup or a list instead, ask for the format and its working title in writing before you pay; you get both from us in writing.

A 30-minute interview, high-resolution photographs you have the rights to, credits for the designers and photographers, and one read of the draft. You approve the facts and quotes before it's submitted; Architectural Digest India may edit to its house style and has the final say. Print needs more notice. You get the date in writing before you pay.

Maybe a link, but not an SEO backlink. Google asks publishers to mark paid links as sponsored, so a link in a paid story can bring readers to your site, but don't buy it for rankings; we don't sell SEO. Whether a link to your website is included is in your written scope.

Not in those words. Say "Paid brand story in AD India" in plain text, with the link. Don't write "featured in", "as seen in" or "AD-approved", and don't claim the magazine picked or named you. Don't use its logo without the magazine's written permission, and never make a cover-style image.

Yes. On your own page, say it's a paid story. Any paid post on the magazine's own handles must be clearly labelled as paid, as ASCI's guidelines require. If you pay creators to share it, they must label their posts as ads too.

Not for your own practice. The Council of Architecture's conduct rules say a registered architect must not advertise their professional services. Their name may appear with illustrations and descriptions of their work in the press, modestly, and they must accept no consideration for it. So we don't sell registered architects a paid story about their own work. A product brand or a client can commission a story that credits you. Check with the Council first. This is not legal advice.

Yes. A story about a registered real-estate project must show its RERA number and the authority's website, and we keep price and offer claims out of it. Product brands make only claims they can back up. We'll tell you on the call if we can't take it on.
