"Creativity is the most valuable resource on the planet"
Nothing moves forward without a creative starting point. The money follows the creative idea. Creative discipline is a balancing act.

In our careers nothing is certain. Understand the implications of the speed and cycle of disruption happening at an increasing rate. Currently as the mobile market grows we need to design for varying sizes of media not just simple desktop layouts. In 2012 mobile surpassed desktop usage in India as other countries trend in the same direction.

As mobile and web become more popular we also see companies spending more on mobile advertising.


Sabaa called Facebook, Youtube, twitter and other social media sites his BFFs (Best Friends For Now). Social media is a powerful tool being embraced by companies but can quickly change or fall out of favor with the traget market.

With these new digital resources everything is measurable. The verification of marking performance is never, ever, ever going to go away.
