KWT Global (formerly known as Kwittken) is a global brand strategy agency that employs an interdisciplinary, design-thinking approach to marketing and communications. We synthesize the most impactful elements of PR, influencer engagement, social and digital media, and content marketing to help our clients identify and demonstrate their best ‘selves.’

We are a group of writers, designers, media specialists, strategists, marketers and public relations professionals who tell stories on behalf of our clients to educate, engage and drive action and results.

KWT Global offers the best elements of big agency professionalism with the flexibility, entrepreneurialism and industry knowledge of a boutique – without the downsides of either. Every team is created specifically to address the unique needs of each client.

Our proprietary planning process, which is based on design thinking, is intended to deliver communications platforms that resonate. Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation and problem solving, and has been embraced by businesses of all sizes, public sector services and government policy makers.

Headquartered in New York City with offices in London and Toronto, we are a multi-specialist agency serving clients across dozens of industry sectors, including American Express, Amway, Ricoh, Vanguard, Laurel Road, CGI, IRONMAN™, Orangetheory Fitness, Leesa Sleep, frog design, Deloitte, Dataminr, Hisense, Pantone, Park Place Technologies, Quartz and PURE Insurance.
