WELCOME TO
A BRAVE NEW WORLD!

IF YOUR HANDS AIN’T TREMBLING AND YOUR HEART AIN’T THUMPING, THEN YOU AREN’T CREATING. YOU’RE ONLY REPEATING.

FIRE UP THE BOLD IN YOU. AND IT’LL SET YOU FREE. REMEMBER, THE UNFORGETTABLE IS BORN OF THE UNEXPECTED.

FINDING YOUR BRAVE IS FINDING IT IN YOU TO BE HUMAN. TO BE COMPASSIONATE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. HELPING THEM WRITE THEIR STORIES. AND IN TURN, THEY WILL COME TO DEFINE YOURS.

AS EACH DAY TEACHES US SOMETHING NEW, LET’S MAKE OUR BRAVE OUR NEW NORMAL. SURE, THE TIMES ARE TOUGH, BUT SO IS OUR SPIRIT.

THE TIME NOW IS RIPE TO UNLEARN, TO QUESTION OUR PURPOSE, TO STAND UP FOR ALL THAT HELPS US STAND APART. ONLY THEN, WILL WE MAKE THE JOURNEY FROM WHO WE ARE TO WHO WE WANT TO BE.

WE HAVE TO GET COMFORTABLE WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE. LET’S BE UNCOMMON. AND CREATE A WHOLE NEW PATH FOR OURSELVES. THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE TIMES YOUR HEART TOLD YOU BETTER. TODAY, YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO LISTEN. BRAVE ON.

WHAT WE DO

WE
HELP
BRANDS
FIND
THEIR
BRAVE

For brands looking to make real connections with people today, bravery isn’t optional. Winning brands will have to make bold choices to stand for or against something. We help evolve a purpose that feels true and authentic and offers relevance beyond products and services.

Courageous brands understand how they exist in the lives of their consumers. They push boundaries to differentiate themselves from the competition. It’s all about building on the learnings of the future, instead of retreating to what feels like a safe haven. Brave is passionately committed to such business propelling creativity.

Businesses are today recognising, that Digital
Transformation is not just about technology. It’s about applying creativity to enable persuasive story-telling: the human stories that come from the edges. These creative extremes can be; a shoestring budget, a harrowing story or a seemingly impossible format limitation.

HOW WE DO IT

OUR
HUMAN-FIRST
APPROACH

GROWTH THROUGH GOODNESS

We identify and solve underlying social tensions, by uncovering your core brand truth and by legitimately addressing the unmet consumer need. We help you demonstrate how your brand makes a positive difference to communities it exists within.

THE EMOTIONAL EDGE

Empathy is no longer a soft skill. It drives hard outcomes. How brands treat people, their environment and how they support the communities in which they operate, profoundly impacts what people want, what they fear, how they behave and how they interact in the future.

TOGETHER, WE ARE BETTER

We have forged meaningful and thought-through collaborations with brand marketing and communication specialists to curate an entirely new experience for consumers- one that plays to their new expectations for convenience, speed and remote access.

WHY BRAVE

OUR STORY IN SMS

WE ARE EXPERIENCED CREATIVE THINKERS

We’ve worked in some of the best agencies. Large networks. Creative boutiques. On every conceivable type of brand and category. Now we are available to you on your brand.

WE ARE HYPER-COLLABORATIVE

We have no silos, we don’t solve problems in a linear manner, we work as high-performing teams, we have a culture of sharing ideas, knowledge and capabilities. And we have fun while doing so.

WE HAVE FLATTENED HIERARCHIES

We have no tall structures, no “boss” culture, no discrimination, no red tape, no bureaucracy and an inclusive work environment. What matters is just the value our teams add to your business.

WE EVOLVE PERSONALISED SOLUTIONS

We roll up our sleeves and do the hard yards. Our strategic and creative counsel is based on earned trust and years of proven expertise. We know that solutions have to be customised. That one size doesn’t fit all.

WE ARE AGILE

We break down barriers, we encourage a fluid work environment, we focus more on leadership and less on management, we provide teams a purpose and identity. So that we can turn around work at 5G speeds.

WE ARE ASSET-LIGHT

We don’t occupy expensive office space. We don’t get fancy perks either. Which means our fees are never exorbitant for our clients.

WE ARE FEARLESS

We are willing to unlearn. We venture out of our comfort zone by staying curious. We embrace our vulnerability. We don’t hesitate while making bold creative choices.
