Building Smarter Brands That Grow

Hi, I'm Faizan Rashid Bhat – a Brand, Marketing, and Product professional based in New Delhi. With over a decade spent shaping brand narratives, driving digital growth, and navigating the ever-evolving marketing landscape, I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to build brands that not only stand out but also deliver tangible results.

I've seen firsthand how powerful strategic branding combined with smart marketing can be. I've also seen how easy it is for businesses to get caught up in fleeting trends or overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools and tactics available today.

That's why I created this blog, Building Smarter Brands.

This space is dedicated to cutting through the noise. It's where I share practical insights, actionable strategies, and forward-thinking ideas drawn from my experience – all designed to help you make more informed decisions and build a stronger, more resonant brand.

My background spans the strategic (brand building, consumer behavior analysis, product marketing) and the tactical (digital campaigns, web design, marketing collateral). I thrive on connecting the dots between a solid brand foundation and effective market execution. You can see examples of the projects I've been involved in over at my main portfolio: faizanbhat.com.

Lately, I'm particularly focused on exploring the practical intersection of timeless branding principles with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the sophisticated Ecommerce tools that are reshaping how businesses connect with customers.
