Many of us come from pasts in large global agencies where the Gods of Research and Planning would descend to tell us what the particular character and personality for a brand was, with nuances on how it should behave. And this would extend to how the brand was to interact with customers. Really, we would think - consumers want to have a 'happy' conversation with a headache pill and an 'empathetic' conversation with a laxative? Thankfully, research validates our thoughts. Read Jenni Romaniuk 's work and that of her colleague Byron Sharp at Ehrenberg-Bass Institute and you'll discover that consumers don't see brands in any personified way whatsoever. So you can stop wasting your time on that utter bullshit. #marketing #brand #advertising

About us
Building brands in a digital world means overturning widely-held beliefs. For one, the brand that spends more doesn't necessarily win. Red Bull, Tesla, Google and Starbucks prove that you can under-spend and out-perform. Of course, an agency that makes its living from media commissions will never remind you of this inconvenient fact. (P.S. We're a zero media commission firm.) Two, advertising isn't much about ads any more. Today's audiences don't care about the 30-second commercial or the half-page print ad. Or the animated banner or the search ad. As the most basic level, it's just about being remark-worthy. And about behaving in a way that gets your brand talked about. The networks and media exist that can make you famous. But first your story needs to deserve to cut through. Curious? Let us help you. Third, it's not about being on Madison Avenue or the West Coast. It's about great, affordable, implementable ideas, no matter where they come from. We work from unremarkable offices in Mumbai, Dubai, Amsterdam and Kathmandu. And produce work that moves markets for financial services in America, consulting services in Europe, construction equipment in Africa and telecom services in rural Asia. Oh, and it's not about being part of some mega-global network. We've said no to more mergers than we can count. Because we don't think that a 5,000 person global corporation can come up with better ideas for you than a 5-person team on your business. We work around the world, around the clock. We will grow your brand, your people and your marketing through consulting, advertising, digital marketing, product design, custom software development, training, continued mentoring and.. well, whatever it takes. We don't work with too many pre-set rules. Only the golden one. Do unto others. If you're not going to be servile to us and mindlessly agree with everything we say then... please don't expect us to be that way either :-)

We remember coming across "Positioning - the battle for your mind" early in our careers. And being stuck in weeks-long focus-group research and strategy sessions as a brand's positioning was supposedly crafted by earnest planners. Turns out, according to research, that it's all bullshit. Consumers don't care, and positioning plays little or no role in their decision to buy or not buy your brand. We learnt this from the tons of research done by the marketing scientists over at Ehrenberg-Bass Institute - including Byron Sharp Jenni Romaniuk Ella Ward and Justin Cohen. Marketing isn't an arcane art filled with mumbo-jumbo, it's a science. And we like that. #marketing #brand #positioning #strategy #growth #coke #pepsi

It's time to go past all the marketing theories and come to what marketing science tells us. We keep hearing that billions are spent on loyalty marketing. Well, then perhaps billions are wasted. Here's what we learnt from Byron Sharp at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute. And his colleagues Jenni Romaniuk, Ella Ward and Justin Cohen. Hat tip to our friends Binit Kumar Cynthia Lam Neel MurtySamit Mehrotra Serene Yap Thomas Rasmussen #marketing #brand #branding #loyalty #rewards
