Creative Factor Integrated Marketing: Fostering Healthy Management Consulting And Marketing Practices

CIO Vendor India is expected to exhibit rapid growth in the management consulting services market across each sector, despite being highly fragmented in size and formats. Viewing the market through the present-day lens, new business plans and expansions are emerging as Covid19 cases drop and vaccinations increase. But a key challenge encountered by the businesses is that of the availability of credible talent in the market. Unless one has established training modules, it becomes a bottleneck for growth and agility in the current dynamic environment. In this scenario, there has been a significant rise in independent consultants in the gig economy. They work independently with no offices or employees, primarily consult and liaison with smaller solution providers to get their recommended plans executed.

However, consulting is a people-centric field where almost every client needs expert domain inputs, handholding and support for execution throughout the project lifecycle. In fact, consulting models vary. Some engagements are onetime, some last for a specific duration, and some are continuous. As businesses today operate in a dynamic environment, consultants need to have skin in the clients' game, adjust the plans, and develop new strategies simultaneously. There is no `one size fits all' solution.

Creative Factor Integrated Marketing, headquartered in Bangalore, is the perfect fit for every business's unique requirement in the Business Consulting and communications space. In stride with changing consumer behaviour and staying abreast of evolving market trends, the team at Creative Factor is equipped to meet and exceed every client's expectations. "What saves us from constant rework is our domain expertise and proactive culture. We keep a watch on every slightest shift in consumer behaviour and market sentiments," elucidates Tridiv Das, Founder of Creative Factor Integrated Marketing.
