Kinesis—A Growth Studio

 
 

Our Mission is Transformation

As an entrepreneur, change is in your DNA. You got your business off the ground by embracing transformation, and you’ve kept it moving forward by constantly asking “what’s next.” Kinesis is a Growth Studio — the place where visionary leaders come to shape the answer to that question.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Let’s be frank: The growth playbook isn’t what it used to be. Once-revolutionary tactics like digital marketing have become oversaturated and ineffective. Formerly novel ideas about employee culture are now considered table stakes. At Kinesis, we believe that playbook has run its course — and it’s time for a new approach.

Our human-to-human marketing helps clients uncover exponential growth opportunities for lasting impact. It’s work that takes courage…which is why we partner with people like you. We think big so you can think bigger.

Here’s where we focus our efforts:

Brand + Marketing

  • Visual Identity / Naming / Website

  • New Markets + Customer Acquisition

  • Blue Ocean Strategy

  • Value Proposition + Messaging Strategy

  • Sales + Business Development Strategies

  • Productized Services

  • Customer Journey

Culture + Leadership

  • Strategic Planning

  • Employer Brand + Recruiting Strategy

  • Employee Journey

  • Training + Onboarding Strategy

  • Organizational Development

  • Team Alignment + Employee Engagement

  • Leadership Development

 
 

TESTIMONIALs

““When it comes to return on investment, I think about value. Instead of knocking doors down, we’ve turned ourselves into a magnet for right-fit customers and employees. I get LinkedIn messages saying, ‘I want to work for Loupe.’ I will never hire another recruiter. We doubled the value of the company by having a brand people understand. What is that worth to you?”
”
— David Nichols, CEO & Co-Founder of Loupe & EO Portland Alumni
““Kinesis is my go-to for new ideas, inspirations, and thought discussions. They’re so in tune with our business that they really feel like a part of the team. It isn’t just someone on the outside who doesn’t give a shit what we’re working on — they genuinely care about what we’re trying to accomplish. Someone to bounce ideas off of and have thoughtful responses is something I really value.””
— Deven Paolo, President of Solid Form
