In 2009, DraftCraft underwent a strategic metamorphosis to adopt a twin-edged role: One of providing legal remedy and another of providing content in all forms. It offers content & consultancy services by way of managing manpower and content needs felt most in today's cost-crunch situations for niche clientele.
* The Resources - the media's niche crisis managers had managed crisis effectively within media circles. Over the years, the firm successfully provided for out-of-box solutions for media-related problems of deadlines / crisis / personnel and space management.
