Creature London, Positive London, and Positive Netherlands including TikTok agency DUNKD have joined forces and will officially rebrand to become Modern Citizens, a new agency designed to meet the evolving needs of modern brands.
Uniting the capabilities of creative, integrated digital and content creation agencies, Modern Citizens is made up of over 100 people with offices in London, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
The companies, all part of the Candid platform, are being integrated equally from a position of strength. They will continue to work with their respective clients, but now be able to offer expanded access to a broader range of capabilities and services, that together will create deeper, richer and more expansive creative work. An agency infused by technology and built for the modern world, embracing all the creative capabilities and creative heights available to it.
Modern Citizens is structured around eight modular practices, providing expertise across: strategic consultancy, brand design, digital build, content creation, brand advertising, performance marketing, UX design, and data analysis and optimisation. Each module can be deployed individually or combined, meaning that clients only use what they need to help drive growth.
The rebrand will officially go live in mid-October, and Modern Citizens aims to offer a streamlined and collaborative approach to addressing the challenges of modern marketing.
Matthew Robinson, CEO of Modern Citizens, said, "It’s been such a pleasure working with the extraordinary people across Creature, Positive London and Positive NL to build something we all believe this industry is crying out for; A great modern agency powered by creativity, technology and humanity.
