Do you want to live big?


It is better to ‘risk’ the investment in building a strong brand than to live with a weak brand that is neither here nor there; due to starvation from branding investment

Are you choosing to be weak?

What’s on the buffet menu?


Always choose a combination of mediums according to your campaign objectives. Some mediums you choose for quantitative reasons, others for qualitative reasons. Never just on one. Being dogmatic means you get very efficient, but not necessarily effective

Should you have long sustaining campaigns?


In your brand plans, balance the long term awareness sustaining campaigns with short intense bursts of promotions. Excite your fans. Done right, this would pique not just your brand awareness but sales too. 

Are short intense bursts better?

What should you do?


The average marketer (no, the average sales person) thinks “I need to increase sales” and runs off to do a sales promotion. Here, have a free this, there get some cents off.

A better solution? Branding consistently on the long-term, a sprinkle of sales-promotion here and there.

What is it that you do?

Are you looking for fun?


Branding isn't fun if you think about the money, time and effort you need to put in. Done right it will more than reward you for your efforts in years to come.

Conviction and consistency brings lifelong rewards. You can always buy fun later.

Do you like money?

How strong are your convictions?


Branding is a process. It is a functional process. And with all functional processes, it takes time. It is also an investment. The most obvious return being your ability to price your product at a higher price (if you choose to do so.) This is true for MNCs and SMEs.

Weak convictions can’t build strong brands.

What's your favourite move?


Beware of slapping a bunch of activities together and calling it a brand plan. Plans that drastically change the physique of your brand call for big basic movements and loads of effort, time, and money. Doing a few ads, having a Facebook and striving for a Google Page Rank while neglecting substantial spend on key mediums, good distribution, and a strong sales and marketing team is like relying on bicep curls while trying to look like Arnold.

A few basic movements in heavy enough loads and frequency can change your body – squats, deadlift, press, rows, pull-ups. The same is for your brand’s physique

Or from a nutrition standpoint - cut out the processed food, sugary drinks and take lots of vegetables. These three moves can do more for your physique than the slimy, bitter, purplish herbal tea slimming tea they try to sell you. Educate yourself. Please.

How would you view this?


Bosses should stop complaining about “failures” from the marketing department. Stop saying “Let’s do less, it didn’t work.” Start saying, “That didn’t work, let’s try this now.”

Let’s try something new?

Is the program making you better?


Our recommendations are often compared to other consultants’ proposals. Or even internally concocted snake oil plans. The point to remember when comparing is that any plan can create awareness and give your sales a bump. But a good plan does that and creates meaning for your brand. It builds the base for years to come.

Are you still thinking about it?


We meet our fair share of prospects and clients who are thinking about investing in their brand by advertising. But the anxiety of a virginal endevour means they have a load of research to do. Exploring the “perfect” plan. They want to “learn”. 

The answer, if this is your first time spending (we like the word investing better) on advertising then the best learning will come when you spend. You learn the most when you start doing. 

You cannot learn swimming from books and the net. You have to get wet.

How effective is your marketing?


All else being equal, effectiveness is related to effort. If something is not working, perhaps effort is lacking somewhere. It could be you, you could be members of your team, it could be your boss. If someone doesn't COMMIT you can bet your campaign effectiveness will go down. 

Is budget related to effort?

Is there a perfect marketing communications program?


There is no perfect marketing communications program. Very often experts and so called experts argue with each other over a brand given the same scenario. What does this mean? It just means you need to do your homework. Learn, relearn, makes some mistakes, think hard, ask even harder questions and yes, experiment. 

How else would you do it?

What is your one thing?



Some people have a tendency to focus on one thing to the detriment of other aspects.

Some people focus so much on their work that they neglect their family. Some bosses are so into production that they forget marketing.

You can argue priorities or you can argue a lack of balance.

When you focus on something, other aspects have to give.

The magic then is in the balance.

Not finding the balance is where some people fall off.

Is focus such a great thing?

What’s the point?



Someday, you will wonder what’s the point with your work and your job. Besides, of course, laying food on your table and having a shelter over your head. Perhaps, even helping define you a little. Yes, your job does that whether you like it or not. But above and beyond that, what else is there to your job?

When you have no answers - perhaps consider delivering happiness and joy to the people you deal with everyday. If work takes up more than a third of your time, then your life would change remarkably if you make an effort to be nice to people around you.

That’s one way to be valued and respected. Especially, in a world where assholes are aplenty.

When are you starting your own business?



One of the best ways to make you a better manager is to manage your own business. I know, you have a job. You need to build your career. 

The technology today allows you to do that. There are no excuses.

Even initiating a simple content website can teach you immensely about business. If you feel the need to critique your boss, some business owners somewhere – multinational or otherwise – on how they manage their business, try managing your own one-man shop - where you call the shots. 

It will make you a better manager. It will make you appreciate what it means to run a business. It doesn’t matter if you have P&L responsibilities now. It is still not your own money, no your own time.

When you run your own business, it is YOUR money, YOUR time. You in the equation change everything.

What’s the hard part?



You get a new day every day.

You get a new chance every day to pursue your dreams, your goals.

Some people find starting tough. Starting to workout, starting to write the plan, starting to work the plan. Just starting is a challenge.

Yet for most, starting isn’t the tough part. It’s the consistency. Doing what needs to be done on a daily basis to achieve that goal.

Commitment - that’s the toughest part.

How much are you willing to commit?
