KEMOSABE is about what’s right. Question everything. Assume nothing. If brands aren’t INCH-WIDE / MILE-DEEP, then they’re not functioning at full throttle.

INCH-WIDE: A single strategy or brand that is tight and right.

MILE-DEEP: So INCH-WIDE tight that it can run and run a MILE-DEEP through any activation, be it branding, out of home, social, live events or the side of an elephant for that matter.

We have key partners that stretch the boundaries. Together we share, explore and discover far beyond the constraints of a traditional walled agency.

To us it’s about walking past ‘…We’ve done this before…let’s re-skin it’ and hacking on through to ‘bloody brilliant.’
