Client overview

UI and UX
Online Persona
When Group R approached us, they were a mining powerhouse in Africa but a newcomer in India’s complex landscape.
They needed more than a logo - they needed credibility.
We helped them embrace a structured brand identity, positioning them as a precision-driven, safety-first contractor ready to compete with India's biggest mining players.
The visuals weren’t just aesthetic they were engineered for meaning. We built a logo rooted in mining topography, echoing excavation lines and depth. The website told their global story with sophistication, while LinkedIn became our B2B battlefield.
With ABM campaigns, we didn’t cast wide nets we targeted decision-makers, and it paid off.
What made this project unique was how we wove hard-hat grit with corporate polish. Our messaging struck a balance: powerful enough for boardrooms, authentic enough for minefields. From safety narratives to human-interest stories, we brought Group R’s values to life. Today, they’re not just present in India - they’re respected, remembered, and growing.
