Branch office · Kochi, Kerala
AI, Branding and Marketing Agency in Kochi
Our branch office at NRI Silicon Heights, Kochi. From Kochi we work with businesses in Kerala, and with brands that sell between Kerala and the Gulf, on branding, marketing, websites, apps and AI.
Kerala's businesses have unusually close ties to the Gulf, through family, trade and investment. With our headquarters in the UAE, the Kochi office is well placed for brands that sell in both markets and need one consistent identity with campaigns adapted to each audience.
Clients in Kochi work with the same Old Port team and services as our Bengaluru clients, from brand identity and social media to AI assistants and apps. Work is measured on enquiries and sales, not likes.
What we do from Kochi
- Brand strategy: Positioning, messaging and a clear reason to choose you.
- Logo design and brand identity: Logos and identity systems that hold up everywhere.
