We’re a creative company.
We take the best of what you have—your thinking, your experience, your passion—and build a fire under it.
We craft strategies, ideas and executions with you. And work with a network of trusted partners to plan, build and bring those ideas to the world.
But if a company is defined by how it behaves, then this will tell you who we are:
We have no natural predators.
We’re independent. We don’t have agendas. We’ve won enough awards. So we’re more than happy to collaborate with anyone who shares our ambition and wants to work the way we do. Marketers. In-house agencies. Creative shops. Curious individuals.
We love projects, not long term commitments.
We’re not looking for you to put a ring on it. We don’t want you to break up with your existing partners. Instead, we’ve designed our business and processes to make it easy to embrace experimentation.
We understand you’ll only know us by working with us, so we make it easy for you to do just that.
We’re incredibly open.
We don’t do tah-dah moments. We share our thinking early—without generating unnecessary meetings. We say the hard things out loud, and expect everyone we work with to do the same.
We don’t answer briefs.
We solve problems. We listen like nobody’s business. We know how much time can be wasted by solving the wrong problem, so we make sure we get the problem right.
Founded by Kieran Ots.
A global creative leader with a career spanning more than twenty years, he’s helped brands like Samsung, Canon, McDonald’s, and Subaru reach new heights of success and won awards at every major show on the planet.
And yet, he’s restless too.
Because too often, creativity starts with an answer before the question is understood. Filling channels before you know the problem you’re really trying to solve. Seeing everything as a challenge that can be solved with a piece of communication.
An idea can be anything. So why do they always end up the same shape?
Make No Small Things is built on the belief that different things are possible if we work a different way. That new kinds of experiences can create new heights of success.
Because in a world where so many things look and feel and sound the same, there’s incredible power in doing something different.
