About

A fictional
agency. A fictional
client. A real assignment.

kelvin · the agency

Climate · comms · culture

The name references Lord Kelvin and the absolute scale of thermodynamic temperature — an understated thermal cue appropriate to a smart-thermostat client. The strapline positions the agency at the intersection of climate purpose, communications craft and cultural relevance.

Positioning: the carbon-literate creative agency for purpose-driven London brands. kelvin competes on credibility — independently verified carbon reporting via TRACE by isla — not on scale.

Vision: a London where every event leaves a measurable positive climate legacy.
Mission: to design ISO 20121:2024-aligned awareness experiences that convert climate concern into household-level action.

BeSMART · the client

Smart for everyone.

BeSMART is a fictional smart-thermostat brand whose “Cool Down” print campaign frames climate action as a domestic, individual responsibility. The campaign visually pairs a tilting Earth with a thermostat dial set to 19°C.

BeSMART has commissioned kelvin to translate the static “Cool Down” creative into a live, multi-segment awareness experience — converting the campaign’s environmental promise into measurable behaviour-change outcomes: trial sign-ups, corporate pledges, toolkit downloads.

The product range covers radiator-mounted thermostats controlled by a mobile app, designed for installation without a boiler engineer — accessible to renters, students and homeowners alike.
