Who we are

The Kite Factory is an independent media agency that gives brands the best in Heart, Art, and Science to craft creative media ideas that deliver. With a rich heritage in measurement, TKF combines data-driven insights and craft planning to deliver media effectiveness that drives measurable growth for clients like Skin+Me, WaterAid, Redrow, Crisis, Lovehoney, White Claw, Triodos Bank, and Little Freddie.

We exist because we saw a gap in the market. A gap between ideas and measurement. Anyone can have a good idea, but they don’t necessarily know how to measure it. Conversely, just because you can measure things, it’s no guarantee you can have good ideas. Well, we do both.

We’re a dynamic team of creative visionaries, professional achievers, and data enthusiasts, all driven by a passion for delivering tangible results. Now with over 100 media specialists, The Kite Factory has experienced remarkable growth over the past five years. We've celebrated multiple new business and award-winning campaigns, earning the prestigious title of Campaign’s Independent Agency of the Year in 2023. Our workplace culture shines as we proudly rank among Campaign’s Best Places to Work and hold IPA Platinum status, reflecting our unwavering commitment to the development and well-being of our people.
