Coffeebean Media is a creative agency that started from “brewing ideas” in a hotel room in NY (2010-11) sipping coffee… and more coffee!
Instilled with the branding and design requirements of small medium businesses for their brand voice and recognition to providing turnkey design solutions, Coffeebean Media (CBM) started brewing ideas for many businesses in US and eventually in India and other locations. Right from evolving stories for the brand perception, its identity, to its execution across all diverse media and customer touch points, CBM took charge for all creative solutions. Whether it was PRINT marketing collaterals (brochures, flyers, and sales kits), business stationery or WEB or MOBILE APPs CBM proficiently delivered UI-UX designs also including some apps development.
Coffeebean Media’s base was established in 2011-12 in Jaipur, India where it started providing 360-degree solutions for strategic and creative communications. The key services were branding, print, web, apps, and merchandise with clients primarily from the US. CBM has also handled clients from Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. Jaipur office team along with outsourced content writers and developers comprised about 20 persons spearheaded by the owner and creative director Anju. In her creative direction, CBM carved a niche for uniquely handcrafted websites with her edge in marketing communications. Many projects requests were for revamping the clients existing websites, from the branding and marketing perspective. The other edge was intuitiveness for the UX which was well served for the web applications as well as the mobile apps.
Other than the small-medium businesses, CBM also served some big banners carving its niche in the Healthcare and Biotech segment with its spin-off as Sprout Biocommunications. With the principal’s background in Biotech, CBM is instrumental in combining the arts and science in the infographics, presentations or animation, which are well comprehended by the common people. Designing turnkey solutions for most modern Healthcare techniques to campaigning for Sustainable Agriculture, CBM has created value not just for the business, but also for the people and planet welfare.
CBM’s has gained its core strength, winning edge and expertise in Brand consulting, communication and creative strategies. The services range from consulting and design deliverables are 2D graphics, illustrations for any medium (print, web, merchandize) with a special interest in infographics and presentations. CBM has partners and associates for extended services for other media such as the web, apps, and animation.
With its special focus on “sustainability”, CBM has taken yet another initiative called as TRY (The Responsible You). The interface is TryForGood.com where there are interviews and expert articles from people who are doing “good” for the people and planet. There are cartoons (by Anju), articles and photo essays (based on content aggregation) and infographics.
