WE ARE Pi
Independent Brand Consultancy for Challenger Brand
WE ARE Pi is an independent global brand consultancy and studio, headquartered in Amsterdam and working with clients across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. We partner with brands that have a challenger spirit - whether they're insurgent challengers taking on category leaders, or established brands that refuse to think and act like incumbents. What makes us different is that we're both a consultancy and a studio. We do the strategic thinking - brand positioning, platform development, cultural research - and we make the work. No handoffs, no dilution between strategy and execution. Our global clients include Nike, Heineken, Virgin Active (UK & South Africa), Uber, Diageo, Ziina (Middle East), Lynk & Co (Europe), and Desperados. Our work has been recognised at Cannes Lions, D&AD, The Webby Awards, and The Drum Awards. We've been named Ad Age Small Agency of the Year and Creative Pool Small Agency of the Year. Founded in 2011, we've built long-term partnerships with brands who want more than campaigns - they want a European creative partner who can help them find their edge and stay interesting. 20 people in their team
