“If people like you, they will listen to you but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you” these words by the American author Zig Ziglar clearly describes what strategic branding is all about! More than just plain marketing, advertising & packaging, branding signifies building a consumer experience that a brand promises to deliver. Consumers buy perceptions and stories not just products. Intrinsically, a good branding strategy helps ingrain trust and desired consumer outlook that companies expect from their products.

The year 1993 marks the ideation of the strategic brand & design power house, Bluemarlin. Exceeding brand expectations since inception, the organization has been accelerating businesses by building brands that live in the hand, heart and mind of the consumers.
