With studios in London and New York, Vault49 brings together diverse creative minds to work with ambitious clients. We’re a collective of strategists, designers and artists with the skills to transform brands and businesses. We do it through unexpected ideas that energize brands.

Since the beginning, we’ve found our muse at street level. We think true creative thinking comes only from wide research and authentic inspiration. From real people and real lives. We make it our job to understand cultures, technologies and trends. It’s the intricacies and nuances that make us tick, and give the brands we work with the advantage.

Thinking like entrepreneurs and experimenting like artists, we make ownable worlds that cut through and connect. We create brand experiences that make people stop, look and care.

The results speak for themselves.

OUR PRINCIPLES

Brands are like people. Complex personalities with dynamic interactions. We work towards a big idea and use it to inspire every touchpoint within a coherent 360º brand experience.

Four principles guide our work…

Back Alley Insights
We get our inspiration on the ground. We talk to real customers and look at how the category works in real life. Our strategy work is up-close and personal.
Packaging with Purpose
Packaging is where products connect with customers – in their hands and homes. We make the pack a brand experience that goes beyond a bottle or a box.
Street Art Rawness
Disruptive art is in our DNA. Which means we’re dedicated to experimenting and in touch with our media. We understand the rules and enjoy breaking them when we need to.
Motion-Based Shareability
We create own-able worlds for brands that connect with customers. That involves bringing brand assets to life online and in motion, bridging physical and digital experiences.
