April - 2015 issue > Most Promising Marketing Companies - 2015   



"Make the customer, the hero of your story," so quotes Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs. This is not only a quote, but a story of every company today. The brands push their boundaries to go near to the customers to bond well with them and internet has helped immensely in achieving that, while luring the philosophy of 'going digital' to seize a bigger pie in the complete marketing mix. Google also echoes the similar veins through its report which states that 97 percent of the consumers shuffle through the web pages to hunt local businesses and the larger picture unfolds a huge statistics. Thus, the definition of present marketing comprises of digital and social marketing, market research, PR, creative & advertising and demand & lead generation enablers which are changing the rule of the marketing game.

However, amidst all the developments, lamentably, the core challenges have also been transforming to much more attention-seeking demons in disguise, making the selection of right marketing partner, a risky and tricky task for a company. Thus, to help people conveniently choose the perfect professionals; siliconindia identifies 'Most Promising Marketing Companies – 2015". A distinguished panel of the industry's topmost CIOs, CEOs, VCs and industry experts including siliconindia's editorial board scrutinized the list of companies in different business touch points. The thorough analysis delved into business practices, services, compared them against industry standards to ensure that the work is of best in class quality and finally led siliconindia to come up with best companies. While the list endeavors to facilitate such companies, it also puts forward an easy platform for people to partner with the finest alter-egos who are not only embedded with the affinity to annihilate those demons in disguise, but also help the companies in parking their brand in the customers' heart.
