Description

ABOUT ALPHA KILO
Alpha Kilo is an award-winning, multi-national strategic communications and events agency with a global footprint. We work with category leaders and cultural game changers in art, design, fashion, food and drink, lifestyle, luxury, and travel sectors. Rather than focus on one silo of media, we work closely with our clients to create compelling narratives that speak to our culture today and resonate globally. We work with purpose-driven creatives, visionaries, and entrepreneurs who are reshaping the world around them.
Striking a balance between the expertise of local specialists and a global perspective, we have a reputation for presenting intelligent, unexpected solutions that are tailored to our clients' needs. We start with robust ideas that are powerful enough to provoke a chain reaction. From there, we implement clear, insightful, and progressive strategies across a global network of media, brand partners, influencers, and thought leaders.
