Open by design
We’re a focused team of experts in strategy, positioning, messaging, and visual identity for tech brands. Specializing in SaaS and open source. In fact, no agency in the world has more experience branding open source companies. We believe applying the principles of open source—collaboration and shared purpose—leads to better work. And more human technology brands.

Our experience
In the heart of North Carolina’s thriving tech scene
Raleigh, our beloved City of Oaks, has fast become one of the world’s leading tech hubs. New Kind sits proudly in the middle of it all. Every day we experience creative collisions at the intersection of technology, art, and community.
The founders of New Kind played key roles in developing the brand, design, culture, and community at Red Hat. Helping the company grow from one office in North Carolina to a global, multibillion-dollar enterprise leader in open source software. Early on, we recognized the value of open source extended far beyond software. Bringing openness, collaboration, and community to every part of Red Hat sparked engagement and sharing at a massive scale.
New Kind applies these same principles to building sustainable brands and cultures for technology companies and organizations inspired by the open source way.
