David Ogilvy said in 1955, "Every advertisement is part of the long-term investment in the personality of the brand." While our fundamental belief in brands hasn't changed, our approach continues to evolve. We have codified this point of view in our practice of 360° Brand Stewardship.

First, we identify and express the essence of a brand; then we ensure that essence is reflected at every consumer touch point - on-line, off-line, at home, at work, and at play. We build brands across borders and across disciplines, everywhere aiming to find out clients' most valuable customers and to keep them for life.

We learn from what we see in this world. Looking at these samples would have given you some idea as to how you should go about writing the mission statement for your organization. All the best!
