Networking
Process Events 001 – Leeds
Organised by Right Aligned Academy
In-person events made to share the processes used by freelancers, founders and teams.
About this event
When we started out all we wanted to do was go inside the agencies we admired the most but unless you were hired it was almost impossible to get access. We were fascinated by their work, culture and people but their methods were guarded and their approach was top secret.
We are committed to shattering those barriers by sharing with you the processes used by freelancers, founders and teams. We care about sharing the story of people at all stages of their because we believe in elevating all voices, irrelevant of age, ability and background.
SPEAKERS
Each of our events feature two speakers including freelancers, founders and teams. We ask them to share their processes including the challenges they face, the methods they employ and the people they work with.
KISS
Co–Founders Poonam Saini & Matt Kilb
Brand design studio
Poonam and Matt, the dynamic duo behind KISS, superpartners dedicated to helping entrepreneurs fall in love with their businesses. As brand enthusiasts, their mission is to spark instant attraction and lasting love between customers and brands, as well as between clients and agencies.
KISS Studio stands out for its diverse portfolio, working with a wide range of brands from placemaking to hospitality. This variety fuels their creativity and brings fresh, innovative perspectives to every project. At just 25, Poonam and Matt founded KISS out of a desire to escape the long hours, endless commutes, and corporate politics of London. They relocated to Leeds in 2017 to bring their vision to life, and have since grown steadily, recently welcoming a new Design Director to their team.
Their studio's success is evident in their accolades, including a Gold win for their work with Dense Hair Experts at the Transform Awards, and collaborations with trendy gaming venue Lane7 and their latest client Zambrero. A perfect partnership, Poonam and Matt bring a fresh approach to leadership, entwining their personal cultural experiences and the uniqueness of being in a relationship and running a studio.
