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.
