Rohan Maini’s journey into marketing didn’t begin with platforms, trends, or tactics. It began with a quiet curiosity about people.
What do they notice?
What do they trust?
And more importantly, what actually stays with them after the message fades?
From early on, Rohan believed marketing wasn’t about being loud. It was about being understood. About saying the right thing, at the right moment, in a way that feels believable. That belief shaped his instincts long before he ever worked in real estate, and it continues to define how he approaches marketing today.
Over time, curiosity became craft. And craft became a career built on clarity rather than hype.
Learning Marketing Where Discipline Is Non-Negotiable
Rohan’s professional foundation was built working with global organisations such as Motorola, Dell, Lenovo, and Adobe. These weren’t just brand associations. They were clients that demanded structure, consistency, and intent.
In those environments, marketing wasn’t allowed to be vague. Every message had a reason. Every campaign served a broader narrative. Every execution had to align with a long-term brand story.
It was here that Rohan learned a lesson many marketers learn too late: strong brands aren’t built through bursts of creativity. They’re built through repetition, restraint, and a deep understanding of audience psychology.
Working with global teams also exposed him to different markets and mindsets. He saw how culture shapes perception, and how clarity often outperforms cleverness. These experiences sharpened his thinking and gave him a systems-first view of marketing that would later become central to his work.
The Question That Followed Him Everywhere
As Rohan moved through different disciplines and markets, one question kept returning.
Why do some brands feel instantly believable, while others feel like they’re trying too hard?
The answer, he realised, had little to do with design or budgets. It had everything to do with resonance.
Marketing that works doesn’t just look good. It aligns with how people already think, feel, and decide. It meets them where they are. It respects their intelligence.
“I’ve always been interested in what actually resonates with people,” Rohan says.
“Not what performs on paper, but what feels true.”
That perspective would prove critical when he entered one of the most emotionally driven industries of all.
Real Estate: Where Perception Carries Real Weight
When Rohan moved to the UAE and began working within the real estate ecosystem, the stakes changed.
Real estate marketing isn’t just about attention. It’s about confidence. Every message influences how people perceive value, risk, and credibility. A single misstep can create doubt. A well-judged story can create belief.
What stood out to Rohan was how often marketing focused on visibility instead of relevance. Loud launches. Big promises. Short-term excitement.
But real estate decisions aren’t impulsive. They’re deeply personal. They’re rooted in trust, aspiration, and long-term thinking.
“Behind every transaction is someone making a life decision,” he explains.
“If the marketing doesn’t feel grounded, people sense that immediately.”
This insight pushed Rohan to rethink how real estate brands communicate. Less performance. More precision. Less noise. More meaning.
Turning Complexity into Clarity
One of Rohan’s defining strengths is his ability to simplify without diluting.
Real estate is layered with regulation, market cycles, and shifting buyer sentiment. Rather than seeing this complexity as a barrier, Rohan saw it as an opportunity. The opportunity to create clarity where confusion often exists.
Whether it’s repositioning a brand, shaping a launch narrative, or refining a digital strategy, his approach remains consistent: strip the message back to what truly matters, then build forward with intention.
This clarity-first mindset has earned him trust across teams and partners who value substance over spectacle.
Why Mint & Co. Exists
Mint & Co. wasn’t born from ambition alone. It was born from observation.
As Co-Founder and Head of Operations & Client Success, Rohan helped shape the agency as a response to everything he had seen across his journey. The goal wasn’t to create another marketing firm. It was to build a partner that understood real estate from the inside out.
Mint & Co. was designed to balance creativity with structure. Storytelling with accountability. Vision with execution.
Rohan leads the operational and client success function with a hands-on approach, working closely with teams to ensure ideas don’t just sound good but hold up in the real world. The agency’s focus has never been vanity metrics. It has always been outcomes, alignment, and long-term relevance.
Leadership Built on Intent, Not Urgency
Rohan’s leadership style mirrors his marketing philosophy.
He believes clarity creates momentum. That teams perform best when expectations are clear and trust is mutual. That growth should be intentional, not reactive.
He encourages independent thinking but insists on accountability. Creativity is welcomed, but it must be grounded in purpose. This balance has helped build a culture where discipline and imagination coexist.
“Good work isn’t accidental,” he says.
“It’s designed.”
Looking Ahead
Today, Rohan Maini continues to shape how real estate brands communicate, not by chasing trends, but by refining fundamentals.
His focus remains on helping brands resonate more deeply. To sound believable. To feel consistent. To grow without losing their identity.
As platforms evolve and markets shift, his belief remains steady: marketing that truly works respects people first.
And in an industry often driven by speed and spectacle, that restraint might just be the most powerful strategy of all.
