HMKD develops brand propositions, marketing strategies and advertising campaigns based on sustainable and ethical values that are good for both business and the planet. We work directly with brands and their agencies and are made up of like minded strategists, planners and marketers with a shared commitment to sustainability and a more ethical way of working. The company was founded in 2010 by Andy Wheatley, an ex agency MD driven by a belief in brands as the most powerful influencers of human behaviour change and a force for good.
HMKD’s approach is simple. Sustainability means having a business that can operate indefinitely in a world of finite resources. Being ethical is about treating people and the planet fairly. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that. Combine the two and the path is clear – it’s good for business, people and the planet.
It’s not just about the environment either. It’s about kindness, friendship, humanity and wellbeing and includes much wider challenges such as the need to redefine growth, prosperity, society, culture and economics in a way that benefits more than just the privileged few. Brands have the power and the responsibility to help us achieve this.
HMKD is built around Brand DNA, a robust and proven methodology that helps develop clear, coherent and engaging propositions based on compelling, ethical and human values.
