The Creative Team
Our creative team is unlike other standard creative departments of ad agencies. There are no hierarchical layers which invariably lead to ‘sameness’ on account of head of department hegemony.
Our Art Directors and Graphic Designers have over the years developed the enviable talent to transform client briefs to dynamic marketing communications. This ability of ‘initiation to execution’ gives our work a variety and freshness in both substance and style.
An international panel of freelance writers and design experts are also rostered to give us the creative edge on a need basis.
Media and Production
Inca pride themselves in delivering cost effective media buys and high quality production work, be it simple shelf talkers or multi faceted exhibition stands.
We also source and supervise shop floor activation.
