We treat contact like a publication treats letters. Most belong at a different desk. Pick one below.
One address handles everything else, read by a human, written by one, inside two business days.
Every door is read

Every reply is written
What we don't
reply to.
X1
White-label proposals.
We don’t ghostwrite for other agencies. The brand we work with is the brand we’re named on.
X2
Aggregator pitches.
Creator marketplaces, deal listings, finder platforms, not our shape.
X3
Equity-only engagements.
Equity is for founders, not for outside content teams. We bill in rupees.
X4
AI-tool sales.
We pick our stack ourselves. AI sales pitches don’t land here.
X5
Vague “just exploring.”
We say yes to specific questions. “What does an audit cost?” beats “tell me about your services.”
Write us.
Be specific.
One paragraph beats three pages. Tell us what this is about up top, then expand if you need to. The ops inbox is read by a human, no auto-replies, no chatbots.
Reply lands within two business days. If you don't hear back, your note hit a spam filter on our end, write again and we'll dig it out.
All fields are read by one person
We read every letter.
The reply might be a no,
but it'll be a real reply.

hello@mainstagestudio.inOne address for everything outside an audit or apply form. Press, partnerships, careers, conflict-policy questions. Routed inside the office by topic, not by inbox.
