OUR NEW BOOK
The world of brands has been shaken. Pundits
are questioning the very existence of brands.
Brands today seem to confuse the consumer
understanding and muddle her decision process
with their jargons and ploys. Brand Cliche is a
gentle reminder to the harassed marketer
regarding the purpose of his products and how
to build her brands. It has been inspired by the
truths known to all marketers and brand
leaders, yet forgotten by many
practitioners.This is not a textbook. Its visual
pages pose questions. The answers lie with the
brand owners themselves.

About Us in Brief
We are based out of Bangalore. We are an
independent idea consultancy specialising in
Creativity & Innovation. We partner with
organisations when they want to bring
commonality in their internal brand (employee
behaviours and engagement) and external
brand (experiences & interactions) to build a
differentiated experience and innovative
thinking across all touch points. Complicated,
as it may sound, our our new age tools and
thinking helps us connect your brand with the
rest of the world. And the binary world with
the world of Infinite Creativity.
