You're In Business

Jefferies & Bain is a verifiable public relations and marketing agency based in Mumbai, India, founded in 2013. However, the project is a service-based business (SMB) with no discernible proprietary technology or software product, resulting in a zero score for technical innovation. The submission contains significant exaggerations, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product,' which contradicts the reality of a B2B niche agency. While the business is operational with identifiable clients (e.g., PDRL, Mr. Milkman), the lack of technical utility and the poor quality of the submission (misusing 'marketcap' for revenue/valuation) result in a low overall score.

Description
Everybody has a story, the difference between a great story teller and a mediocre one, is how he or she communicates. The message has to be indistinct and inimitable, the audience has to be right and most importantly the medium has to be precise. Jefferies & Bain is a ‘SMALL’ ‘BIG’ communication agency. ‘SMALL’, because, we have a nimble team of the best people who work assiduously for "clients' success". ‘BIG’ because we deliver big audacious goals! We partner our clients in their success journey by delivering ROI linked deliverables. As a process driven agency, we put a method to the madness of communication. " We understand the audience our client wants to reach out to by segmenting..." them and having unique positioning and messaging statement.
