Review of Operations:

 

The effect of the global economic downturn witnessed in the previous year was felt in this fiscal too. The winds of change necessitated a restructuring. This has helped the company to effectively deal with the downturn and get back on to the growth path.

 

To strategically grow and also to create distinct identities, the Management decided that it was beneficial to operate under the architecture of four distinct Agencies/ Verticals. All other operations would then become Stratgic Business units (SBU’s) under each one of these Agencies. To facilitate this three specialized verticals were carved out of the company and made operational effective November 2009.

 

1. Mudra Online Technologies

2. Mudra Max

3. lgnite Mudra

 

In the year the company was ranked 4th in the Brand Equity Ad Agency Reckoner 2009, making it one of the country’s most respected marketing communications companies in the eyes of clinets, peers media and talent.

 

From a business point of view the company had a reasonably good year. Over and above business from existing clients, it won several new clients, the ones of note being Inorbit, Femina, Filmfare, Cavin Care, BSNL, Paramount etc.

 

The company continued to build competencies and strengthen its capabilities to deliver creative solutions by recruiting new talent and by designing more efficient training processes. The company also won a large number of awards at reputed forums like the Abby Awards, Cannes Lions, Effies and Spikes Asia among others.
