We've Got a Kink...
for Branding

We work with small businesses and organizations to develop distinctive brands, thoughtful campaigns, and creative work that connects with their community.

Good creative starts with curiosity.

Every business has its own story, challenges, and ambitions. Before we start creating, we take the time to understand yours.

Our approach is collaborative, but never without direction. We bring experience, perspective, and creative leadership to the table, while making space for your ideas and knowledge of the business.

How We Work:

Understanding

We start with a conversation. We get to know your business, your audience, what’s working, and what could be better.

02
Collaborate

Through focused workshops and creative discussions, we explore possibilities and establish a direction together.

02

Deliver

We refine the details, prepare the final work, and help you put it into practice.

Independent businesses. Different perspectives.

We enjoy working with people who care about what they’re building.

Our clients and collaborators come from different backgrounds and industries, with a particular interest in BIPOC and immigrant-owned businesses, LGBTQ+ communities, health and wellness, arts, and culture.

As a BIPOC-led consultancy, we understand how culture, identity, and lived experiences can influence the way businesses communicate.

We value good conversations, mutual respect, and the opportunity to build lasting creative relationships.

Original Productions

Alongside our consultancy, Spicy Alii develops independent films and theatre exploring identity, culture, and community. A portion of our consultancy earnings supports these productions, helping us collaborate with emerging artists and bring underrepresented stories to audiences.
