A fictional brand, built by Maer Media as a brand-building template for India. Market observations are qualitative; every number on this page is a plan target, not a result.

01 · Market analysis

India counts steps.Very few know how recovered they are.

A screenless health and fitness band worn 24/7, sold on membership. It tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep, strain and recovery around the clock, and the app turns all of it into one recovery score each morning.

Signal 01

India is one of the world’s largest wearable markets by volume, led by budget smartwatches sold on notifications and step counts.

Signal 02

Sleep, stress and recovery have entered everyday conversation, especially among professionals with long hours and late nights.

Signal 03

Membership models for wearables are new in India; buyers will pay monthly only if the insight changes their day.

Signal 04

Health data is sensitive. Privacy and clear consent are part of the product, not just a policy page.

03 · Brand system

For people who want to understand their body, not just count steps, Cadence is the screenless band and membership that tracks you 24/7 and turns it into one clear daily score: how recovered you are, and how hard to go today.

The name

Cadence is the rhythm of a body over a day and a week. It promises patterns and consistency, not one-day heroics.

Type

A tight grotesk with tabular figures; the recovery score is always the largest number on any screen.

Signature device

The pulse line: a single heart-rate trace in Ember that becomes the logo, the loading state and the stitch on every band.
