About us

Our name came from one of the fables about an owl and a cat. This one goes…

An owl, a cat, and the arts

We consider marketing to be a stray cat, one that’s always loved the arts. A cat, that indeed, knows how to use the arts to her benefit. And who, at times, can even make the arts fall in love with her. One day an owl met this cat and fell in love. The owl said to the cat: “I’m a sailor. If you marry me you’ll have all the mice in the world when I take you overseas.” And so they got married, and travelled for miles under beautiful skies until they reached the owl’s land.

Upon seeing an abundance of mice on the shore, the cat buzzed with excitement. Yet over time, living on this land, the cat began to realise that happiness didn’t come from easy prey, but instead came from the chase. So even though she still loved the owl, she had to leave him in order to be truly happy. And so it goes with marketing… she can’t ever truly be happy just with the arts, she needs the chase. However, she will always love the arts.
