BrandPipal will operate as a standalone business unit offering integrated marketing services across Global Capability Centers (GCC), B2B enterprises, D2C brands and Technology Start-Ups amongst others. The business will cater to sector-specific needs, including Go-to-Marketing strategy, employer branding, performance marketing, online reputation management, influencer marketing, and creative and visual design solutions.

The team brings deep expertise across Martech platforms, AI maturity, data and analytics, creative storytelling and strategic design.
The launch of BrandPipal comes at a pivotal moment when the branding landscape is undergoing a major shift, driven by digital disruption and changing audience expectations. With over 1,800 Global Capability Centers (GCCs) currently operational in India and an estimated 400 more expected over the next five years, the need for differentiated employer branding and digital-first marketing has intensified. As an organization deeply rooted in talent solutions, NLB Services has been supporting clients in crafting employer branding, especially during market entry or expansion phases.
