Evolution

Revolution

“The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.”

“The greatest thing to be achieved in advertising, in my opinion, is believability, and nothing is more believable than the product itself.”

“Creativity is a soul expression, it is unique to the person who can express it. It is not learned. It is an instinct.”

Our Inspiration

Patience, resilience
and consistency

“When a Chinese bamboo seed is planted, it requires daily watering and nurturing but shows no visible growth for the first four years. During this time, the Chinese bamboo tree develops an extensive underground root system, spreading far and wide to establish a strong foundation. Then, in the fifth year, something remarkable happens – the Chinese bamboo tree suddenly sprouts and begins to grow rapidly, sometimes as much as several feet in just a few weeks. This explosive growth is made possible by the robust root system that quietly developed underground for years. The story reminds us of the importance of patience, perseverance, and resilience in achieving our goals, and it highlights the potential for rapid growth and transformation when thee right conditions align.”
