  • Ayush Kapoor
    Ayush Kapoor, CMO

    We wanted a workshop that would move beyond marketing theory and help our teams think like brand builders. Vani delivered exactly that.

    The participant feedback reflected this consistently. The real-life cases, interactive discussions and hands-on application to Theobroma made the learning highly practical and actionable.

    A hands-on branding workshop that ends with clear action steps.

  • Stuti Ashok Gupta
    Stuti Ashok Gupta, Co-Founder

    Working with CPPGP was a transformative experience for our brand. They helped us sharpen our consumer proposition, messaging and marketing strategy through deep customer research.

    Within six months of the work, our revenue tripled.

    The insights and framework CPPGP built have since become a training module for our marketing, agency and customer support teams.

    Could you help us sharpen consumer proposition for Amrutam’s hero SKU - Nari Saundarya Malt?
