The SALT manifesto

No rules

Except the ones that matter.

  • 01No borrowed brilliance.
  • 02No cookie-cutter thinking.
  • 03No settling for the expected.
Think about it01 / 08

None of us follows exactly the same path.

We find our own way, make our own mistakes and figure out what matters to us.

So why should the things we create be any different?

Yet somewhere along the way, playing it safe became the safe bet.

We started following playbooks, borrowing ideas and chasing what worked for someone else.

And in trying to fit in, we forgot what made us different in the first place.

Because what makes you,

You

shouldn’t be what makes you fit in.

And Brands? No different.

Being different isn’t the point.

Making a difference is.

What we do

Creating brands? Don’t! Live ’em first!

Brand architecture

One brand or a whole family? Structure that makes each brand clear, makes marketing work harder and lets new businesses grow without cannibalising the old.

Proposition & communication

Blending in is easy. Standing for something takes guts. Sharp positioning, turned into bold communication that gets remembered and wins customers.

Product & category launch

A new name isn’t a launch. Give people a reason to choose it. From first impressions to repeat purchases: traction and sales.

Pitch decks & workshops

Pretty slides don’t win pitches. Sharp thinking does. No boring brainstorms: sharp minds, uncomfortable questions, ideas worth acting on.

“Anyone can call themselves an agency. Not everyone has been the client.”

We know what it’s like to own the brief, defend the budget, make the call and answer for the results.

We met at Zopper in 2015. One had a thing for what makes people tick. The other, for making numbers talk. Between us, very little escaped interrogation.

We weren’t plotting a startup. We were just getting increasingly unimpressed with boring marketing.

Enter SALT

Rashinder’s pav bhaji. Rajesh’s litti chokha. Two different tastes. A missing pinch of salt, an unexpected pause, and a thought: Namak. Bang. SALT.

You don’t need heaps of it. You just need the right amount. A sharper perspective, a deeper understanding of people, a little more of what makes them care. Much like what happens with brands.

Salt it is. No brand stays bland.

Results, not reportsMove around. Make something happen.

No fluff. Real impact.

  • 01More customers.
  • 02More sales.
  • 03Measurable impact.

What all does SALT do?

SALT is a marketing consulting and CreaTech firm that helps businesses crack everything from fundamental brand and digital challenges to complex business problems. We don’t just crack the thinking. We roll up our sleeves and bring it to life, from the first big idea to the final execution.

Can we start with one service?

Yes. A positioning project, a campaign, a search audit or an attribution setup can be a starting point. We consider the wider customer journey so the work fits what your business is already doing.

Can SALT work with our in-house team?

Yes. We work alongside your marketing, design, sales and technology teams, and agree responsibilities, approvals and how information moves before work begins.

We’re growing, but we’re still not a brand people remember. Now what?

Growth gets you noticed. A distinctive brand gets you remembered. We find what makes you matter to people and turn it into a clear, compelling reason to choose you.

We’re spending on campaigns, but nothing seems to stick. What are we missing?

More noise doesn’t guarantee more impact. We dig into the audience, the message and the idea to find what’s missing, then build communication that earns attention, sticks in memory and moves people to act.

What happens after we get in touch?

We discuss your business, audience, challenge and existing work. Then we recommend a scope with deliverables, responsibilities and milestones. Pricing and timing are set around that scope.

We’ll add the SALT.

Response time: 2 days. Guaranteed. We may take our time with the thinking. Not with the replying. 😉
