Mindset’s creative director, Anvar Alikhan, says, “The challenge was to create a distinctive positioning for the company in today’s hyper-competitive talent market. We worked to understand the psychological buttons of our audience, and then we matched those with what Broadridge had to offer. The rest was easy.”
