Agency Feature: One Zero Eight

What is One Zero Eight?

Founded in 2013, One Zero Eight, based in Pune, is a brand boutique agency with brand strategy, creative design, and brand communication as our core expertise.

We transform business insights into brand strategy and design insights. These insights help us build visual communication which is relevant for the brand and its target audience. Design, not only assist to uplift the brand image but strongly speaks through visuals which are an important aspect of brand communication. 

 What's
in the name?

It’s
all about the PURPOSE that we started One Zero Eight 6 years back. The name
OneZeroEight represents our ‘PURPOSE’ and ‘VISION’ in a significant manner: The
number ‘'One'’ signifies God’s consciousness, ‘'Zero and Eight’' is the
embodiment of Infinity. Number ''108'' bears significance in Universe,
Ayurveda, Yoga, Science, Sanskrit, Life and across the Universe. ''108'' is
significantly present in everything.

#OneZeroEight is a brand boutique agency, translating business insights into brand building. 

What do we do?

We change the way a brand thinks, communicate, perceived and interact. Our mission is to provide an integrated and holistic strategy to clients and assist them to unlock the brand’s design and communication aspects. We assist businesses in every perspective that how their brand should be.

We achieve the above by our 4 fundamental aspects-

• Brand Strategy- How brands should think, anticipate and plan?
• Brand Communication- How brands should communicate?
• Brand Design- How is the brand perceived among consumer minds?
• Brand Experience- How brands should interact on various mediums – digital, social and traditional, etc.

Why we do it?

As industries evolve and new trends emerge, consumers expect more from the brand. Nowadays a brand has to be relevant, fast and engaging to connect instantly with different types of consumers or consumers might shift to the competitor.

However,
for business from small to large have primarily 2 objectives as below,

• 1. Business Growth (Sales, Revenue & Profits)
• 2. Brand Growth (Awareness, Recognition, Loyalty)

It
is imperative to understand the business objective of every brand which can be
translated creatively through brand positioning, communication, and design
strategy. 

Every
brand requires a different approach and roadmap which is the beginning of an
exhilarating journey for both i.e. client and OneZeroEight.

How we evolve?

Change
is the only constant. We need to keep up with the fast pace of the industry and
anticipate the changes and work towards it. Crossing a milestone of six years
in May 2019, we have learned through our failures and successes and always
strive to deliver. 

We
are working towards our philosophy of Idea to Identity – this philosophy has
been successful in transforming business challenges into opportunities. 

The
crux of ‘Idea to Identity’ is to understand the challenges of business,
customer pain points and provide a holistic solution from creating brand
identity, strategy, visual communication, and digital strategy.

 Social
responsibility in social media

Social
media has allowed us to be open and transparent about our views across topics. It
is our responsibility to utilize the platforms in the best possible way. Brands
have opened hundreds of conversations by adding the human element to their
persona. It is truly about being honest and credible and that is what One Zero
Eight has focused and believed in, and we will continue to do the same for
years to come; not only for our brand but with our partners as
well.  

We learned the hard way

The
basic belief of Brand Strategy at OneZeroEight is that all the brand
communication and ideation efforts should lead to business/client’s growth. If
the business goals are not achieved then as an agency we have failed.
Realigning the agency's efforts towards the growth and profitability of the
client is one of the things we have learned in these 6 years.

Also,
one of the essences for any organization is ‘People’ that build a ‘Team’ With
the right set of people who share a similar vision and passion towards the work
can lead to success. Passion should drive people to create great work and
everything falls on the place. If people look at the agency as a 9-5 regular
job, it’s a mismatch for both agency and person.

Therefore,
mediocre or incompetent business partners and team members can drain your
organization’s energy and decrease the pace of your growth.
