Brandx — for business branding

Kathmandu, Nepal

A marketing, creative and technology agency working from Putalisadak.

Brandx works from Putalisadak, in central Kathmandu. That matters less for the postcode than for what it makes practical: shoots that can be scheduled the same week, printers and fabricators we can visit before a run goes to production, and client meetings that happen in a room rather than on a call.

What is different about marketing in Kathmandu

These are the things that change how we plan work here. They are not true everywhere, which is the point of having a page about this city.

The buying decision usually starts on a phone

Most Nepali web traffic arrives on mobile, often on a connection that is intermittent rather than slow. A site that loads acceptably on office fibre can be unusable in Kalanki at six in the evening. We measure page performance on throttled mobile connections rather than on laboratory scores alone, because that is the condition the enquiry actually arrives in.

Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp and Viber, not forms

A contact form is often the least used route on a Nepali business website. Customers message. Any measurement setup that only counts form submissions will report that marketing is failing while the phone is busy, which is why we capture source at the point of enquiry across every channel including messaging apps.

The calendar is not the Gregorian one

Campaign planning in Kathmandu works around Dashain and Tihar, the Nepali fiscal year ending in mid-July, admission cycles for consultancies and colleges, and the monsoon's effect on anything outdoor. Content calendars built from an international template miss all of it, and the gap is visible in engagement.

Outdoor advertising is a materials decision

Kathmandu's monsoon and dust are hard on printed material. Standard flex in direct sun fades within a season or two. Specification — substrate, lamination, mounting — decides whether a hoarding still reads in month eight, and that decision is made before anything is printed.

Local search is dominated by the map, not the website

For clinics, showrooms, restaurants and salons in the Valley, the Google Business Profile carries more weight than the homepage. Distance from the searcher is one of the three factors Google weighs, and it cannot be manufactured — which is why we build relevance and prominence honestly rather than renting an address in a district a business does not operate from.

Questions about working with us in Kathmandu

Where is Brandx based in Kathmandu?
Putalisadak, in central Kathmandu. Meetings are by appointment — message or call ahead and we will confirm a time rather than have you arrive to a room that is already in use.
Do you work with businesses outside Kathmandu Valley?
Yes. Strategy, design, web, search and paid media are all delivered remotely without any loss of quality. Filming, photography and print installation need someone physically present, so travel and accommodation for those are quoted separately and agreed before a date is committed.
Can you meet in person before we commit?
Yes, and for anything above a small project we prefer it. Scope conversations are faster in a room, and it lets you meet the people who would actually do the work rather than a salesperson who hands you over afterwards.
Do you handle printing and installation within the Valley?
Yes. Printing is quoted by specification rather than from a rate card, because cost depends on quantity, dimensions, material, finish, installation and delivery. Site rent paid to a landlord or municipality and any advertisement tax are separate and stated in the quotation.

A short conversation is usually enough to say whether we are the right fit, and what it would cost.
