What do you love most about your job?
I love the fact that my job never seizes. I am constantly working even in my subconscious and I don't have to be confined to an office to be working. My job allows me to be curious all the time and I am continuously asking questions: why is this made like that, what if we did this, why must it be like this...I love the fact that every day is a new challenge and no two briefs are ever the same.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The fact that the big agencies lack creativity and the ability to provide the best possible solution within the given time frame. The fact that big agencies see clients only as a revenue stream and are not too conscious about HOW best the spend clients money.
Why should our clients choose you?
We do the total opposite of big agency mentality.
We care for our clients and always put their ambitions first.
