COMMUNION is an ambitious and scaling creative studio. We believe that the successful brands of the future will thrive by harnessing cultural, environmental, societal and technological change to BRING PEOPLE AND BRANDS CLOSER TOGETHER. Our mission is to help them MEET A RADICALLY CHANGING WORLD HEAD ON.

We provide BRAND DIRECTION AND CULTURAL CONNECTION for real world impact. Combining the power of transformative ideas, boundless creativity and future positivity — from strategies to identities, communications and experiences. Today we work with clients ranging from global fashion houses, purpose-led lifestyle innovators to cultural institutions - we have, and will continue to work with a mix of scale-ups, innovators and establishing brands, across sectors.

We value believers in our future-positive mission and philosophy as a studio. As a small, but growing team, we embrace people with an entrepreneurial spirit, collaborative instincts, and a problem solving mindset who naturally take ownership, while having the ability to step back and look at the bigger picture.
