Life
A small, serious place to do the best work of your career.
BBP is sixty-some people in Kochi who have decided the most interesting brand work in India is being done from outside the metro agency circuit. This page is a long, honest look at what working here actually looks like.
What the work feels like
Three to five engagements. Always research first.
You'll be on three to five engagements at any given time, two as a lead, the rest as support. Every engagement starts with a Brand OS™ diagnostic, which means you'll spend real hours in primary research, financial review, and competitive benchmarking before you write a single recommendation. We don't ship slides without evidence.
You'll write. A lot. The Thinking essays are a team effort, not a founder soliloquy. If you can't write, you'll be uncomfortable here. If you can, you'll find this is one of very few places in India where strategists are read, not just billed.
You'll sit close to the founders. The team is small enough that Ahamed sees every strategic recommendation and Sabira signs off on every research methodology before it ships. That's a feature, not a bug. The compounding learning is the whole point.
What we don't do
A short list. Honest.
We don't run pitch theatre. We don't bill by the hour. We don't have a junior pyramid. We don't do all-night work for vanity awards. We don't pretend Kochi is a disadvantage, because it isn't.
Compensation, leave, and the rest
Plain language. Specifics where we can.
