      Our intrepid explorations have seen us assume a variety of roles and don an assortment of hats:
      We’ve worked closely with a leading psychiatrist to address a bank’s image problems.

      We’ve helped an HR company spread an anti-9-to-5 work culture.
      The way we see it, an Idea is, in its pure and pristine form, a phantom, a media-neutral spectre devoid of shape or form.

    • What they say about themselves:
      The Bold Creative is an agency turned Creative-duo teamed by Vanshaj Kapur and Pragnya Venkatesh. The duo work on experimental and edgy project-based creating advertising campaigns, visual branding & packaging, and brand strategy, film design and production, web design and tonnes more in the graphic design space including everything print and screen. Personalisation and commitment are crucial when working with a client.
      Think of two circles: design and communication. We’re the part where those two meet.
    • How do they do things differently?
      Brands need focused & flexible attention to create great work. We shifted from a 15 member team to a creative director duo when we realised that there was a gap in the market. Brands either worked with Large advertising agencies where they would get lost on their roster of clients or to smaller teams where the quality was an issue. We’re a happy medium where you’ve got two creative directors giving your brand the focused attention it needs. 
      You only work with the Creative Directors. While building brands, you need to be incubated into the team. A vendor-client relationship is transactional and doesn’t treat the work with the kind of respect it deserves. We basically become your chief creative officers. Which means we take responsibility for the work we do.
      Teams can be built according to the project. This way, we ensure you get the best talent working on your brand as and when necessary.
    • Their advice for clients looking for design help:
      Brands need partners, not vendors. Figuring out what a brand needs is a collaborative process where we usually need to put ourselves in the client’s shoes. We need to become a part of your internal team to understand the project truly. 
      That’s why we believe it’s the people that make an agency, so find a team, that understands your goals and has the same vision for the brand that you do.
