Whenever I am in a foreign country, it makes me wonder how do these brands adapt so well to the local people. Here is e.g. of Subway introducing Chatpata Chickpea in Singapore.

Great job by ogilvy singapore! Unfortunate but this the first thing that hit me when I came to Singapore...

Approximately 40% of Singapore’s 222,500 domestic workers do not have a weekly day off, despite a law coming into effect in January 2013 making it mandatory....

Just cleared my Google Adwords exam 96/100. Still did not see my certificate. Get a message from Google "you are almost there, you need to clear one more small test"

This is like your gym instructor tells you 8 push ups and then later adds 16 more...

Spruce Up takes up challenge for Amanda's Barbers Shop. Looking at the job it felt piece of cake; a hand drawn logo to be digitalized. But easier said than done, replicating the pencil stokes was quit a task. Results: Elated client & a beautiful learning experience...

Coffee conversation with the amazing Ashwini Deshpande. It’s a process she said calmly and you learn with every client. Someone who had envisioned Elephant Design 25 years ago and still has a drive to expand. Listening to her talk about Design was like music. Very encouraging and appreciative of Spruce Up’s work; just the kick I needed. Cherry on top during this India visit!

This is the coolest thing ever! I met the Mayor of Knoxville in elevator. Just her and me in the elevator. Introduced myself and gave her the job we did for the City. She loved it and asked if she could have a rack card we designed and printed! Little things in life which put smile on your face

Very happy to announce a mile stone job of Spruce Up. Christmas in the City is Knoxville's most anticipated winter festival. The tradition of Christmas in City began in 1978.. We were given the task to convert the 20 pages book into a card. Suggestion was to have a tri fold brochure but card is what was decided upon. So here is the work. Printed 10,000 of these and delivered in time. The 1st design is approved and 2nd design is presented one. My team has been brilliant on this job. Thank you so much Prasad & Shailendra!!! Also, Knoxville people if you get your hands on one of these cards pls let us know your feedback...
