Beginning its journey as a small agency with five employees, Sarva Integrated is today a well received, well respected agency that recently celebrated 12 years in the advertising industry. Attributing its success to understanding local consumers and the Sri Lankan market, Sarva has been delivering effective 360 degree solutions to clients since its inception in 2005.
Sarva Managing Director Chrishantha Jayasinghe cites their ability to deliver continuous growth to clients as being the key to their success. “We are passionate about using our creative abilities to ‘grow’ the brands in our care,” he says. “Our talent pool ranges from creative cooks to short film directors, EDM music composers to authors, temple mural artists to award winning photographers and more. They come from varied backgrounds but all share a common passion to create effective communication campaigns that deliver growth to our clients.”
Catering to a wide cross section of clients, from humble low-key businesses to large scale conglomerates, Sarva’s 60 man team has today become noted for their ability to turn brands around. Denta toothbrush sales doubled in less than a year with Sarva’s ‘Beautiful Smile’ campaign and the brand has registered a 500% growth ever since. Softlogic Finance Fixed Deposit assets increased from Rs. 1 billion to over Rs. 8 billion with Sarva’s ‘Easy to Deposit, Easy to Withdraw’ campaign and has recorded a consistent growth to date. Asian Alliance ‘Click2Claim’ registered a six-fold growth with just one creative radio commercial done by Sarva; while Pan Asia Bank Credit Cards registered substantial customer growth with the ‘Pay only 1/3 the interest on your credit card debt’ campaign.
Sarva Integrated is today a group of three companies comprised of ‘Mara Ideas’ (formerly Manthram), Enfaction (digital solutions) and its main creative arm of the same name. It has won numerous international awards, won pitches for brands such as Meadowlea, Arpico Supermarkets, Toyota and Rainco Nets; attracted new clients such as Nippon Cement and Fortune Cooking Oil; and expanded their client portfolio to include hospitals, FMCG brands, automobiles, educational institutes and more.
