The Advertising Club Bangalore has launched Put One Q, a quiz-led networking format designed to get marketers and creatives talking to each other again – no stage, no panel, just team-based trivia and beer.
The debut edition unfolded at The Biere Club in HSR Layout, drawing professionals from Amazon, Ogilvy, Myntra, Razorpay, Wipro, Nestlé, Curefit, AirAsia and more. Instead of formal mixers, participants were split into teams and introduced through quiz rounds built around advertising campaigns, brand trivia, and industry history – turning icebreakers into actual competition.
Sneha Prathap, Marketing Lead at Allen and part of the winning team, called it refreshingly informal, saying the event felt less like an obligation and more like a genuine hangout with people she’d never met before.
Ad Club Bangalore president Laeeq Ali positioned the format as a deliberate shift for the next generation of talent – smaller, lighter, and more fun-first than traditional industry events. He credited the organising team, Athul Uday, Amogh Ravindra and Sneha Walke, and said the club plans to scale the concept across Bangalore.
Organisers Athul Uday and Amogh Ravindra framed it simply: pulling Bengaluru’s ad community out from behind their screens, betting that real conversations – and real friendships – spark better ideas than any panel discussion.
If it scales as planned, Put One Q could become the city’s answer to burnout-era networking: low effort, high curiosity, and actually fun to attend.
