About Kiln

A small studio with a big appetite.

Founded in Lisbon in 2014. Still independent, still senior, still obsessed with the craft.

Our story

Started around a kitchen table.

Inês founded Kiln after a decade at large agencies, frustrated that the best thinking got lost between account managers and junior teams. Kiln was the opposite: small, senior and close to the work.

What we believe

Bold is a choice, not a risk.

Most brands fail by being forgettable, not by being brave. We help ambitious teams make the confident choice - and back it with strategy, so it performs.
