We’re an award-winning, global design agency.

Welcome to Checkland Kindleysides. We create brand experiences that amplify authenticity and fuel growth. It’s what we’ve achieved successfully for over 45 years. Our holistic design approach to brand storytelling results in dynamic experiential concepts and connected brand journeys, that lead where others follow. Discover more about our meticulous design approach, diverse range of client partners and industry experiences below.

We BELIEVE in:

Unravelling complexity and pushing the boundaries.

Creativity with no boundaries

No fixed way of doing things. Our creative strategy isn’t a formula. Everything we design is original, tailored to individual clients, with individual needs, unique brands and individual views of their world. We embrace this and together we realise the unrealised.

Vision without baggage

There’s a moment, a gap at the beginning of every creative challenge where you see things through naive eyes, that moment that has no baggage or preconception, where anything is possible, and everything is achievable.

Place being everywhere

Place today has evolved beyond the physical. Place = people + time + context. On-demand connectivity and relationships are the new brand currency. Place is the space where people can fall in love with brands. And that can happen anywhere and everywhere.

People-first

We design from a people-first perspective. We believe in a creative process that positively influences behaviour. Opening new kinds of dialogue, interaction and relationships between brands, and their consumers.

Craft and practicality

Great ideas must be brilliantly executed to succeed. We’re makers in the purest sense. We use years of know-how to bring all the touchpoints of a customer experience to life, delivering excellence and accuracy to our craft. In doing so, we go beyond the ordinary and set standards, which others follow.

Not trying to be too clever, be a simple genius

We embrace ‘simple genius’ moments, those moments where inspiration just flows. But too often simple genius gets buried within complexity. We’ll listen to your ambitions and embrace the simplicity of creative thinking to ignite brand potential.

Our Clients

Our clients benefit from our rich history of creative brand storytelling. We work with brands and retailers with diverse business models across the world. From icons and heritage brands with a global retail design portfolio to start-ups and new challenger brands taking their message to market for the first time. We thrive on solving problems and pushing the boundaries. We'll listen, collaborate and act as strategic design consultants in order to unravel complexity and bring ideas which add value to both brands and their consumers.
