Conversations with Craft: Swadesh store design revolves around ‘conversations’ & ‘community’, which creates a deeper ‘connect’ with ‘crafts’! The store was conceptualised to evoke dialogues (संवाद) and create an environment which provides a perfect setting for such gatherings.

Unlocking brand resilience - the formula for success in turbulent times. Buckle up, 2024 is proving to be a wild ride, with extreme volatility impacting every corner of our world. So, how can brands not just survive, but thrive, in this turbulent environment? Lynne Field, our Head of Strategy at FutureBrand North America, has the answers. In her latest article, Lynne dives deep into the concept of "essentiality" – the key ingredient for brands looking to thrive in today's turbulent world. She argues that in a landscape defined by volatility, brands must move beyond the superficial and focus on what truly matters: adding tangible value to consumers' lives. But what makes a brand essential? 1: Indispensability. It's about understanding and anticipating customer needs beyond just what you sell. Take Chobani, for example, whose mission-driven initiatives go beyond yogurt, touching lives and communities worldwide. 2: Innovation. Building for the future means investing in meaningful innovation that signals a brand's commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs. Unilever's hefty R&D investment to 'make sustainable living commonplace' is a prime example of this forward-thinking approach. 3: Attachment. Forge emotional connections that resonate with consumers on a deeper level. Unilever's "Find Your Magic Initiative" transformed Axe from a symbol of toxic masculinity to a champion of inclusivity. As we navigate the uncertainties ahead, it's time to reassess our brands. Are they reliable, responsible, and trusted for advancing tomorrow? Read Lynne's article in Advertising Week for a deeper dive into the formula for success: https://lnkd.in/ef39i422
