PLOT OF DESIGNANSWERS’S STORY
“The key factor behind the inception of DesignAnswers lay in a mutual pain point that we shared with the client. The kind of campaigns we saw come out of many agencies was of two distinct kinds. It either seemed factory-produced, run-of-the-mill or it was far from the ground reality, that it seemed tailored made for award juries and had nothing to do with the consumer.
The best form of advertising can be achieved only when it is curated, customised, and truly the brand’s point of view. Surprisingly, there was a huge market for something as basic as that. And that’s when we decided to start our own agency which strives to do exactly that”, shared the leading lady.
CLIENTS & CORPORATE ETHOS
DesignAnswers caters to a broad clientele from different sectors like Lifestyle, Real Estate, F&B, QSR, Aviation, Technology, OEM, Hospitality, Banking and Financial services, Auto and much more. To name a few, they service brands like American Express, Wingreens Farms, Bangalore International Airport, Taj Hotels, Dr. Reddy’s, HCL Technologies, Kimberly Clark amongst a host of startups At DesignAnswers, the mantra for a strong and long-term client relationship lies in their never quite attitude. They are always sensitive to deadlines, and some of the clients will vouch for their ability to tackle tight timelines with speed and agility. And never compromise on quality while they do that.
DESIGNANSWERS’S INNOVATIVE EMPLOYEES & TEAM-BUILDING STRATEGIES
DesignAnswers was incorporated to break out of a mold. And that is something all DA employees are encouraged to do. There are no templates. There is no mandated protocol as long as work is being done and they have a sound professional culture in the office.
The firm follows two simple principles while identifying the talent:
- Multi-skilled, or open to widen skill base: This is absolutely necessary in the present world where account management must have the ability to, if not ideate, evaluate creative concepts and likewise, creative folk must be empathetic to business needs.
- The ability to say ‘Yes’ to everything: This isn’t to say that they don’t want a point of view. This sentiment stems from the need to have a more diligent workforce that stops at nothing to deliver the best possible outcome for every business problem. A hands-on team is a key ingredient in the recipe for success.
THE EDGE OVER THE PEERS
DesignAnswers is a one-stop solution for almost every single design, advertising, and marketing solution under one roof. Now this is done to ensure that when they own a campaign, they not only handle the creative element but also run media, on-ground and production for execution. And they do this, not by contracting with different group agencies, but in-house partners that enable a cross-functional engagement which is more cohesive for better client management.
In addition to that, the team at DesignAnswers is agile. Meaning they adapt easily to any business environment while also retaining a core that stands pillar to guide all practices. They can easily add skill sets and create customized teams for various client requirements. Infect, upskilling is an essential KRA for all DA employees, something they believe helps them achieve success.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, THE SECRET BEHIND DESIGNANSWER’S SUCCESS
As part of their continuing endeavour to further purposeful design as a practice in the industry, they have been pushing the cause of meaningful design and advertising with a purpose within the teams and clients.
It entails training sessions for the teams, and guest speakers to come and open up the minds of the people. This is important to bring new and innovative ideas to the table so that they can keep offering something new to the clients.
RESILIENCE THROUGH A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Amidst the slowdown of the private sector as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, DesignAnswers was fortunate to have excellent clients that gave them the best thing an agency can ask for. And that is a partnership. This entailed the client being a part of the creative journey and them on the other side, going beyond the agency role, thinking business instead of just advertising for their clients to achieve their defined success.
DESIGNING FOR FUTURE SUCCESS
DesignAnswers has an exciting future ahead…
It has recently inaugurated a branch office in Bangalore as part of its expansion plans and to service its clients down south better. Presently, the firm aims to focus on offering client’s exceptional agency services as well as leverage the talent available in Bangalore, especially in the digital space.
