← Kiln templates

A creative studio for brands tired of beige. We make the thing your competitors screenshot into their Slack with the message “why isn’t ours like this”.

Start something loud
What we do

Four things. Zero autopilot.

  • Identity

    Logos, systems, voices. Built so strong you could pick your brand out of a police lineup with the logo covered.

  • Campaigns

    Launches, stunts, seasonal noise. The kind people repost without being paid to.

  • Websites

    Fast, accessible, and impossible to confuse with a template — ironic, given where you're reading this.

  • Absurd ideas that work

    The pitch that makes legal nervous and the CFO smile three months later. Our favourite deliverable.

Selected work

Proof, not promises.

Sour Milk · oat drink

The un-beige rebrand

Shelf test after relaunch: +312% first-glance pickups. The carton now argues with you, politely.

Hotel Norma · identity

A hotel with a wink

Signage, keycards, and do-not-disturb copy people steal on purpose. Direct bookings up 41%.

Blip · budgeting app

The roast-mode campaign

A budgeting app that teases you gently. 2.1M organic views, zero ad spend, one apology to a barista.

Gum Club · website

A site you can chew on

Product pages with actual personality. Cart conversion doubled; bounce rate now mostly people’s jaws.

The manifesto

Read this out loud.

  • Safe is expensive. Blending in costs more than any agency ever will — you just pay for it in being forgotten.
  • Taste is a strategy. “Data-driven” and “gorgeous” are not opposites. We ship both or we don’t ship.
  • Funny is serious work. Making someone feel something in 1.5 seconds is the hardest brief in business.
  • Loud ≠ shouting. Loud is being impossible to mistake for anyone else — at any volume.
