Mumbai: Direct Marketing Association: India (DMA: India) has donned a new ‘avatar‘ for its corporate brand to mainstream direct marketing as an overarching arm of marketing.

The logo has been conceptualised by DMA‘s creative agency RAPP. The new strapline of the logo reads ‘Marketing Made Smarter‘.

The new logo has a contemporary look and has used vibrant solid colors to enhance the position of authority and visibility. It has a speech blurb embedded in the D of DMA to signify its dialogue or communications objective, the company said.

DMA: India CEO Vatsal Asher said, "With direct marketing going digital, it was important to introduce a new positioning and a platform which resonates with the modern smart methodology of business. We wanted to give it a modern feel without changing the core identity. The new brand identity of DMA: India is based on the rebirth of direct marketing in the digital age and communications around it. We found the RAPP approach to be thorough and insightful. Their strategic thinking and drive gives us the confidence to believe that RAPP will be our creative partners in India and we are looking forward to making this convention popular in India with their help."

Tribal DDB and RAPP India president Venkat Mallikarjunan said, "New age Direct Marketing agencies are taking ahead the good things about direct marketing like the discipline, the performance and ROI focus while not limiting themselves to direct mail as a medium. The re-crafted Direct Marketing agency is now a genuinely new age lead agency with significant skills in new media, new age engagement tools, and new age insight frameworks, as well as, brand thinking. The DMA: India wants to propagate this change and get brand and business leaders in India to take notice. At RAPP we have been the leading edge of this change across the world and are delighted to be partnering the DMA of India in this endeavor."
