... AND Creativity that Hatches Results.
In a crowded market, standing out isn’t about shouting louder – it’s about saying the right thing, in the right way, at the right time.
Brands come to chicken/egg when they need clarity, momentum or fresh thinking that actually works. When campaigns need to connect, messages need sharpening or internal teams need senior support they can trust.
Founded in 2004, chicken/egg is a senior-led creative marketing consultancy helping ambitious brands – from start-ups to established organisations – create work that resonates and delivers real impact.
We don’t just follow briefs.
We crack them open.
How the coop works
chicken/egg was built to work differently.
Every project is led by Karen Kerr and supported by a hand-picked team of senior specialists – strategists, creatives, designers, developers and producers – chosen specifically for the brief.
That means:
-
Senior thinking from start to finish
-
No fixed agency structures forcing solutions
-
The right expertise, applied where it adds most value
Our flexible, remote model allows us to focus on what matters most: understanding your business, solving real problems, and delivering work that works – without unnecessary layers or overheads.
To our clients, we often feel less like an agency and more like an extension of their team.
What we help brands do
We work across sectors, disciplines and audiences – from B2B to B2C, IT to retail, start-ups to global brands.
Our role is simple:
to help brands find focus, tell better stories, and show up consistently across every touchpoint.
Whether it’s a one-off project or a long-term partnership, our approach is always tailored – listening first, then shaping ideas around your goals, not ours.
dESIGN & CREATIVE
We develop creative ideas that bring brands to life and help them stand out in crowded markets.
From campaign concepts and brand identities to print, POS, environments and experiences, our work is always rooted in strategy and designed to connect with the people you’re trying to reach – not just look good.
We work across B2B and B2C, tailoring creative solutions to your goals, audience and context.
WEB & DIGITAL
We design and deliver digital experiences that look great, work hard and support conversion.
Our web and digital work ranges from websites and digital platforms to content, assets and online tools – always created with usability, performance and brand consistency in mind.
Creatives and technical specialists work closely together to ensure everything functions as well as it feels.
SOCIAL
We help brands show up confidently and consistently across social channels.
From content and campaigns to messaging and tone of voice, we focus on helping brands lead the conversation, build relevance and earn trust – not just chase trends.
Our approach works across platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and beyond, depending on where your audience actually is.
MARKETING & BRAND STRATEGY
Strategy underpins everything we do.
We help brands define their positioning, sharpen their messaging and develop marketing strategies that align creativity with commercial goals – always with ROI in mind.
Whether you need a clear direction, campaign planning or senior marketing support, we bring practical experience and strategic thinking to every brief.
PHOTography & FILM
We create photography and film that bring brand stories to life across channels.
From lifestyle shoots and portraits to campaign films, animations and customer journey content, we manage the process from concept to delivery – working with trusted production partners where needed.
The result is visual content that feels authentic, purposeful and on-brand.

AI & Custom GPT SOLUTIONS
We help marketing teams use AI with purpose.

Karen is more than a marketeer; she challenged the way we work and has had an integral role in the restructuring of our marketing department. She brings extremely proactive and fresh ideas to the table, and has helped bring new life to our property marketing.

If I say that Karen really knows what the best way for a brand to engage with the female audience is it may come across too generic, but I mean it 100%. Whether it be tone of voice in the copy, ideas for a social media campaign or brand repositioning, Karen and her team's expertise and contribution are invaluable.

What is important for me is that I can trust my service provider, that I know I am not being ripped off, and that I have an enjoyable working relationship. This is the case with chicken/egg. I think that such an atmosphere significantly increases the chances of great results and creativity happening as a matter of course.
