Who gives a damn? Well we do actually

Since Kind’s inception in 2014, it was built on the basis of being a force for good. In the years since that, it has snowballed beautifully into a fully-fledged mission and set of core values to put people and the planet at the forefront of everything we do. It’s at the root of who we work with, the projects we deliver, the team that we employ, and how we operate every single day in and outside of work. Which is why we are one of the leading sustainable agencies in the UK.

All sounds great, but everyone cares about that don’t they? Well, no, the answer is they don’t. If in any doubt have a look at your energy bill, go for a swim in our sewage-infested rivers and seas, or discover that reports now estimate there are more food banks in the UK than there are outlets of McDonald’s. A lot of companies simply DO NOT CARE.

Others care if it makes them look good, and in all sectors, we are seeing a huge increase in greenwashing to either distract you from the harm they are really doing or to sell more to you because it sounds appealing, alongside being a lovely little tick in their corporate social responsibility box! We frustratingly see this is even in our own industry, with agencies quick to slap on a green or sustainable tag to their business to reach clients, so this combined with a desire to speak out more authentically really set our rebrand in motion.

Mat and I are not people who typically shout out or put ourselves in the spotlight, we much prefer to do the good work behind the scenes and create a positive impact from the wings so to speak. But recently our mindset has changed and we now believe we need to start speaking up more, to encourage those that want to have a more positive impact in business and to collaborate with the good folk already doing it.

This has led us to our new brand and new service offering (more on that another time) that we are so proud of, as we really believe it encapsulates who we are, what we do, and what we are trying to achieve. As a small team who have continually ‘punched above our weight’, we’ve been truly dedicated to putting purpose, people, and the planet over profit, even when as a business it’s really challenging to do so.

And now we can finally show up, with no modesty or over-inflated claims, and truthfully share how we make a difference and how that is backed up by real commitments to our people, the environment, the clients we work with, and the sustainability and performance organisations who hold us accountable. Just as we should be.

So I’d like to introduce you to Kind 👋
