Brands need a new port of call. We chart it.
A boutique brand strategy and marketing consultancy with studios in Bengaluru and Kochi, headquartered in Dubai, with clients we work with everywhere in between.
We build brands the way a good port is built: deliberately, for the long haul.
Started as a small studio in Bengaluru in 2021, now headquartered in Dubai with studios in Bengaluru and Kochi: same boutique attention, wider map. Most of our work happens over a call, and that suits us fine.

On TrialCan a global travel brand cut performance marketing spend and still grow?

KitKat
On TrialCan a real logistics crisis become a brand's best marketing moment?
When 12 tonnes of KitKat chocolate went missing in a genuine heist, the brand leaned into the story instead of staying quiet, turning a real disaster into a moment people wanted to share.
Duolingo
On TrialDoes breaking every rule of category marketing still count as a strategy?
Duolingo's chaotic, meme-first social presence ignores nearly every convention of educational marketing, and made its mascot more culturally recognisable than most competitors' entire brand.
