Our Story

Read here to discover why our name has nothing to do with cats and how our work is inspired by the Japanese pursuit of perfection.

In the bustling streets of Tokyo, a phrase often encouragingly given to people facing an impending challenge or exam „Kitto Katsu,“ translating to a heartwarming „You will surely win.“ It is an affirmation, a gentle yet powerful nudge toward audacious dreams and endeavors, embodying a spirit that resonates deeply within the corridors of our agency.

KittoKatsu is more than merely a name. For us it encapsulates not only a positive forward-looking spirit, but it is intricately woven with a philosophy derived from the land of the rising sun. A philosophy that appreciates the finesse of minimalism, celebrates the relentless pursuit of perfection, and adheres to a standard of paramount quality. Every brand story we tell, every visual journey we curate, is a reflection of this ethos, ensuring that our creations not only speak but also resonate.

Imagine a meticulously crafted Japanese garden, where every rock, every tree, every gentle stream is deliberately placed, not just for aesthetic appeal, but to tell a story. That is the essence of our approach towards brand building. We do not just assemble elements; we compose narratives, ensuring each aspect, from strategy to communication, from design to execution, harmoniously converges to not just represent but become your brand.Together we sculpt unparalleled, tailor-made brand experiences that don’t just navigate but define F&B, cosmetics as well as healthcare industries, win hearts, and most importantly, ensure that ‘you will surely win’.

Established in 2015 by couple and Japan aficionados Vera and Philippe Henco, KittoKatsu has built a reputation of a strong and reliable branding partner. Learn more about our team

At KittoKatsu, these two components always work in hand in hand to find the most effective and fitting solutions for your challenges.
