TL;DR
Blacklisted celebrates 4 years of redefining branding with fearless creativity, bold campaigns, and a growing tribe of 50+ innovators. With 100+ brands across industries, we marked the milestone with a night of laughter, gratitude, and vision. As we transition from strategy to storytelling, we can confidently say that our story is only about to get louder as we commence Year 5.
Is there anything more satisfying than watching a moment of creativity and imagination turn into a brand that disrupt, dazzles and dominates? After four years of Blacklisted existing in that space every single day, we are more certain than ever that we are exactly where we need to be.
From our very first pitch to the campaigns that made audiences stop scrolling and start feeling, Blacklisted has always stood for one thing: creating brands that break rules and make meaning. So this 4-year milestone is not just because we continued to track time, it is to appreciate impact, creativity, community, and the trust our clients put into our work when they were the first to believe in us.
So let’s take a moment to look back. And look ahead. Because if the first four years were this exciting, we can’t wait for what lies ahead!
A Flashback: The Journey of Four Years of Blacklisted
Back in 2021, we weren’t trying to be another digital marketing agency on the list. We were trying to be the ones who questioned the list itself.
At a time when the creative industry felt saturated with templated ideas and recycled strategies, Blacklisted emerged as a creative agency with a bold vision—to change the perception of branding as a non-experience to branding as an experience that is driven by strategy, culture, and originality.
Founded by Mohit Sharma, a visionary in design and digital thinking, Blacklisted wasn’t established to follow trends—it was built to challenge conventions. He recognized that there was an ever-expanding gap between what brands were saying and what audiences were feeling. That gap could be closed with intelligent storytelling, thoughtful design, and a creative team that was both strategically astute and creatively bold.
From day one, Blacklisted aimed to launch legacies, not logos.
Four Years of Blacklisted. 100+ Brands. Endless Stories
On this incredible journey, we have:
-
Partnered with 100+ brands across 20+ industries
-
Executed campaigns that generated millions of impressions
-
Expanded into new markets and sectors
-
Obtained recognition from many platforms for our impact and originality
-
Created a culture where passion, innovation, and laughter go hand in hand
Each partnership took us above and beyond the confines of the contract and gave us the opportunity to think bigger, design deeper, and tell genuine stories that matter. It is a testament to what a Digital Marketing Agency can achieve when it prioritizes creativity and strategy.
Growing The Blacklisted Tribe
When asked, what makes Blacklisted different, the answer is not merely in the campaigns. It is about the culture.
What began as a small team with a common hunger for creativity has transformed into a creative community comprised of 50+ strategists, designers, developers, storytellers, videographers and (the good kind of) troublemakers.
Every team member comes with more than just a skill set: every member comes with a moral compass. We have built a culture where UX meets VFX across lunch, where brainstorming feels like storytelling, and where mentoring is just as important as metrics.
And because we believe in growing talent, we invest in the next generation of creatives, giving students and young professionals the chance to learn by doing. That’s the spirit of a creative agency that’s building for the future.

A Note from Our Founder
