a little bit
of what we’re about
We’re founded on the principal of creating content that delivers on a clear objective. Our main motivation is seeing our work succeed on task and exceed expectation. As an agency we’re structured to continually evolve in response to media consumption trends and innovate new modes of moving image communication.
Many agencies will talk about their methodology to approaching briefs. We treat communication as an art more than a science so we keep our method very simple: we hire the best. Our creative teams are bespoke for each project – storytellers, artists and masters of their craft selected for the right creative solution, not just the most convenient.

First capture attention. Then inspire
the viewer to think, feel or do.
… Preferably all three.
what we do
And for who
We’re a full service production agency with our specialism in moving image. If it moves we make it, but we largely conceive and produce: commercials; on-air promos; online promos; brand idents; social media campaigns; instructional films; internal comms; outdoor display and installations.
We help brands and organisations from a range of verticals achieve measured success. Our main experience is in broadcast; media; telecommunications; satcoms; technology; retail; travel; healthcare and finance. We deliver campaigns locally and globally in any language. Some of our valued clients include:
our
guiding principles
Be Effective.
Our creative output is determined by the constant endeavour to create content that has meaningful impact. We want people to think, feel and do
Be Creatively Agnostic.
We strive to answer each brief with the right creative solution, not simply the most convenient or the closest at hand. We have no attachment to a particular creative technique or technical skill – the world is our creative oyster.
Be Thorough.
Good content rarely comes from a vague or incomplete brief. We listen hard, get situationally under the skin of a challenge and fully interrogate client briefs to ensure we deliver everything thats needed, and then some.
Be Prepared.
It pays to expect the unexpected. Creative and marketing campaigns can take a ninety degree turn without warning and frequently for very good reasons. We strive to be flexible, adaptive and ready to turn on a sixpence at any time.
Be Open.
We’re transparent with costs, all budgets are line itemised with nothing hidden. Clients are welcome and encouraged to share in the production process at any stage they like. We don’t up-sell and we’re always available to talk to.
Be Responsible.
Our sustainability commitments mean we avoid travelling, printing or powering unnecessarily. We continually review our supplier and partner relationships to ensure high ethical standards across our production eco-system.
Be a Nice Place to Work.
We get the best from our people by allowing them to operate how suits them to be their best. All have the option for flexible and remote working and no one is expected to work unpaid overtime. At Thieves Kitchen we’re only interested in stealing attention – not from the pockets of our talent.
