RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Andmarq found ways to have differentiating points by conducting surveys of competitors in the same industry. Each management agency does not have a clear identity, and the agency’s value is identified with the fame of actors, so contracts with top actors significantly affect the value of agencies. Thus, branding does not take precedence over other factors in the management industry. Under these situations, ANDMARQ intends to create a new niche in the Korean management market by building its firm brand identity with its own clear voice.
CHALLENGE: Andmarq's customers are not just actors but various artists who perform creative activities, interested parties in the industry, and people who finally consume content. With its core value of “continuously and reliably securing creative environments and providing diverse contents with sharp discernment, sincerity, and balanced system,” ANDMARQ considers all targets through the principle of expressing the Advanced and Last Detail, Balanced and Neutral, Essential and Refined Design, and deliberately thinks over all things while building its own identity.
