theSound is a multi-dimensional organization specializing in three spaces - marketing consulting, artist and celebrity management, and unique offline experiences.
We are a new-age marketing consulting firm. We specialize in helping brands figure out how to market themselves and make potential customers fall in love with them, and make existing customers fall hopelessly in love. We do this by creating really-really fresh marketing plans, campaigns and content. We also go the entire mile by providing branding, social media management, content, creative collateral, and offline events. Phew.
We also manage a set of inspiring and seasoned celebrities who are available to provide guest talks across a range of topics and conduct masterclasses and workshops for the employees and customers of organizations.
We ALSO work with various eclectic (trust us when we say that) artists, from musicians to magicians and (mostly) everything in between, to create unique offline experiences for brands. In other words, we are not a black and white event management company.

Introduction
We are looking for teammates who are
As 'weird' as possible - someone who is itching to change the status quo, to take risks, to build a story that everyone talks about, and to make everyone sit up and take notice
Always keeping an eye out for 'meaningfulness' - every campaign, every strategy, and every creative idea should never be superficial beyond a degree and should work towards genuinely and meaningfully connecting with audiences
