Branding For Our Collective Histories — Kinfolk
Our Collective Histories built for a Connected Future
Read our insightsServices Creative
We work with our client partners to help them understand, evolve, and execute marketing initiatives that produce results.
Our systems are designed to transform marketing departments from cost centers to revenue drivers. It’s not easy, but it works.
Audience Placemaking™ combines and codifies brand and growth frameworks for production — both art and science.
Our Production Process Centers Artifacts
Words + Narrative Design
The words come first, in every case (except when they can’t LOL). By writing first, we codify our thinking — and by leading with thinking we assure better outcomes with our audiences, because they know where we’re coming from and why.
Visual + Motion Design
We know: you want pretty things (and we want to build them), and we’ve got some of the best designers in the world waiting to work their magic. We’ll work with you and your team to make sure design is closely aligned with who you are and what you’re about.
Build + Launch
In today’s always-on world, building in both digital and physical disciplines is essential. From in-real-life (IRL) experiences to digital and virtual ones, we’ve got experienced teams who can execute with finesse.

Clients
“They were flexible with at least two points of contact provided for regular communication and the work was excellent.”
Carie Van Den Enden
Here’s how we will Work
Together
Flat rate
You pay a flat monthly rate — no surprises — and have a highly skilled and flexible marketing team at your disposal. Hourly rates distract businesses with the amount of hours worked instead of the work being done. A flat rate keeps everyone focused on the goal at hand, and producing the best work with the time and resources available.
Pod teams
We put together a marketing team for you that we call a pod. Instead of using the same staff to execute every job, we find experts whose style and execution match closely to the company’s desired voice and aesthetic. In this way, each pod and its output is unique to the client.
Sprints
We reassess your rate quarterly by evaluating the amount of work to be done and the skill sets necessary to accomplish your goals. By constantly evaluating the landscape, we allow the deliverables to evolve naturally and never be outpaced by the market.
