2. Who We Are
We’re crazy people.
We’re the brains behind some of the most exceptional campaigns ever done on Digital and endorsed by the platforms.
Almost everyone at our workplace has a knack for an art form, ranging from music, acting to sketching. Most of the times you get to see the demo at our work place.
Our average age is 27, making us one of the youngest teams any brand can work with.
We believe in being a catalyst of change for the community we exist in. This also has helped us achieve many of our partners’ business objectives.
3. Who We Are
We dare to experiment and raise the standards by breaking through the status quo. We empower our teams to think out of the box.
Over the past years, we’ve evolved from a small startup to a fully functional media agency for region’s top notch brands.
Almost 70% of our work is first of its kind, so yeah –we respect our partner brands for bearing with our experimental creativity.
We’re good at conceiving ideas, creating eco-systems and providing engaging and scalable solutions to our partner brands.
