Frequently Asked Questions

We are a full-service branding and digital marketing agency. We bring brand strategy, identity, content, social, SEO, performance marketing, websites and apps, influencer marketing, and online reputation management together under one roof, so your brand stays consistent and keeps growing across every channel.

The Brand Bee was founded in 2012. Over more than 14 years we have grown into a global hive, working with 600+ brands across 6 continents.

We are a team of 85+ specialists spanning strategy, creative, content, performance, technology, and account management, supported by a trusted network of partners where a project calls for it.

Meliora is a Latin word meaning "better", used to express "always better" or "for the pursuit of the better". It is our guiding philosophy and the way we approach every brief, Meliora - always towards better.

One integrated hive instead of many disconnected vendors, a research-driven approach to strategy and creativity, and a genuinely global footprint with local depth. You get brand thinking and performance discipline working as one team.

Our core capabilities include brand strategy and identity, corporate communications, content development, social media marketing, SEO and AI search optimisation, performance marketing, website and app development, influencer and community marketing, and online reputation management.

Yes. That integration is our strength. Strategy and creative shape how your brand looks and sounds, while performance turns that into measurable growth, and because both sit in the same hive, they make each other sharper.

Yes. While we are built for integrated, end-to-end work, we are happy to take on standalone projects such as an identity, a website, a content programme, or a performance campaign.

We do, from architecture and design through to build and launch, fast, on-brand, and ready to convert, whether you need a marketing site, an e-commerce store, or a custom application.

Yes. Alongside traditional SEO we work across AEO and GEO, optimising your brand to be found in AI-driven and answer-based search experiences, not just classic search results.

Absolutely. We run social strategy, content, and community management, and we plan and execute influencer and creator campaigns, from identifying the right voices to measuring impact.

It starts with a short discovery conversation to understand your business, audience, and goals. From there we share a proposal and scope of work, and once aligned, we onboard your account and kick off, usually within a few working days.

You get a dedicated team and a single point of contact who coordinates strategists, creatives, and specialists behind the scenes, so communication stays simple while the right experts work on your account.

As involved as you would like. We need your input at key moments, discovery, direction, and approvals, but we are set up to run independently and keep you moving without becoming a drain on your time.

Each scope sets out clear review and revision rounds. We share work in structured stages, gather consolidated feedback, and refine, so progress stays fast and everyone is aligned at each step.

We agree on the metrics that matter to your business at the outset, whether that is awareness, engagement, leads, conversions, or revenue, and report against them transparently so you always know what your investment is delivering.

Yes, we are glad to sign a mutual NDA. Ownership of final approved deliverables transfers to you as set out in our agreement, with licensing and intellectual property confirmed in your scope of work and contract.

Pricing is scoped to your objectives, the channels involved, and the level of ongoing support you need. Retainers are billed monthly, and projects are quoted against a clear scope of work. Share your brief and we will prepare a tailored proposal.

Both. Many clients engage us on an ongoing monthly retainer for continuous brand and marketing support, while others bring us in for a defined project such as a rebrand, a website, or a campaign. We recommend the model that fits your goals and stage.

It depends on the work. Projects run to their scope, while retainers usually work best over a few months so strategy has time to compound. We will be clear about any commitment before you sign anything.

Once we are aligned, we set up access, introduce your team, run a kickoff to confirm goals and priorities, and agree a roadmap and reporting cadence, so work starts with everyone pointed in the same direction.

Invoicing terms, retainers billed monthly and projects against agreed milestones, are set out in your proposal and contract, so there are no surprises.

We are headquartered in Gurugram, India, with offices in London, New York, Sydney, and Dubai. Since 2012 we have worked with 600+ brands across 6 continents, partnering with homegrown businesses and global enterprises alike.

Yes. With teams spread across India, the UK, the US, Australia, and the UAE, we are used to collaborating across time zones and can align our working rhythm to suit where your team sits.

We do. We help brands enter new markets and run campaigns across multiple regions, balancing a consistent global identity with the local nuance each market needs.

We work across D2C, B2B, real estate, hospitality, education, FMCG, healthcare, and enterprise, with everyone from early-stage challengers to established market leaders.

The quickest way is to get in touch or book a 30-minute strategy call. Tell us where your brand is today and where you want it to go, and we will take it from there.

Once we have aligned on scope, onboarding and kickoff typically happen within a few working days. Timelines for the work itself depend on the project, and we will map them out clearly up front.

Just a sense of your goals, your challenges, and any context on your brand and market. There is nothing formal to prepare, the more we understand about where you want to go, the more useful the conversation will be.

Yes. We are happy to start with a strategy call and, where helpful, a review of your current brand or marketing to identify quick wins and bigger opportunities before you commit to anything.
