KOBU Agency

A good fit

KOBU Agency fits organizations that need a senior-led, strategy-first partner for brand identity and digital experience work rather than pure production output. Its published client roster spans health and biotech (Nerai, Zima Health, Facialteam), hospitality and tourism (Marriott Bonvoy, Sheraton, Andaz Lisbon), non-profit and institutional clients (WWF, Portuguese Red Cross), and financial services (BNP Paribas), suggesting comfort with both purpose-driven rebrands and commercial hospitality or fintech campaigns.

Services

KOBU Agency's published services are brand strategy and consulting, rebranding, visual identity design, website development, advertising and creative campaigns, organized around a design-thinking framework of strategy, execution and optimization. The agency also runs a separate custom-typeface studio, Foundry, offering retail and bespoke font design.

Representative work

Published case studies describe a rebrand of the Portuguese Red Cross built around the institution's commitment to human dignity; a visual-identity system for biotech company Nerai, developed for its work on CRISPR-based gene therapies; and a conceptual campaign for BNP Paribas centered on an AI-powered digital banking assistant.

Notes

KOBU Agency was founded in October 2014 and is based in Faro, in Portugal's Algarve region. Its site is published in English. The official contact page's multi-step project-inquiry form is used as the buyer contact destination; the agency states it does not publish a phone number or email address.
