Radically better
You’re here to start something. Shake something. Stir the pot and spike the punch*
Good. So are we.
Young Folks is an indie agency for brands brave enough to do things differently. The line crossers. The truth tellers. The doers and disruptors.
If you’re a purpose-driven challenger brand that’s ready to steal customers from the bigger, bad-for-the-world giant in your category, pull up a chair.
We saved a spot for you.
We build the kind of brands that don’t just look good and hold the moral high ground, they win.
That means defining your brand strategy, crafting an iconic visual and verbal identity, then turning it into marketing momentum. Always-on channels keep the wheels turning, while smart, strategic big moves grab attention, shift demand, and take market share.
*Not literally, because that would be a bit unethical. But you get the gist.
Purpose-driven challenger brands choose us
The visionaries, disruptors, game changers, and rule breakers. The ones asking the better questions, not just shouting the biggest answers. You don’t need to be saving the world (but we’re here for that, too). You just need to be trying to leave it a little better than you found it.
So if that’s you, you’ll fit right in.
Here’s the proof
You’re in good hands

For the team behind ‘Til The Cows Come Home, the goal is simple but profound: to reframe how we think about farm animals. Not as commodities, but as companions. “We started with the mindset that all animals deserve a loving home,” says Rachele Clarke, CEO of the...
A better way to say it: the case for less violent language at work
If you work in the creative industries (or, to be honest, even if you don’t), you’ve probably heard or said these things: ‘That’s such a killer idea.’ ‘They really butchered the execution.’ ‘We’ve got to get it in before the deadline.’ ‘She’s really smashing it.’ ‘The...
Rainforest Rescue protects and restores ancient rainforests in the Daintree — for life
The best time to protect our rainforests was 25 years ago. The second best time is today — especially when it comes to the world’s oldest rainforest. This is the premise for Rainforest Rescue, an organisation that works to forever protect the ancient rainforests of...
You can’t optimise your way out of irrelevance
There’s an untapped opportunity sitting inside most marketing teams. It’s not another channel. It’s not another audience segment. It’s not more automation, optimisation, or A/B tests. It’s better creative. The kind of creative that earns attention, not just rents it....
What is scrollytelling — and how to use it grab (and keep) attention
Think back to the last time a piece of online content really stopped you in your tracks. Maybe it was a cleverly animated campaign page. Or an immersive video that pulled you in. Or some captivating words in a story that really resonated with you. Combine all of that,...
Does branding still have a purpose on social media?
Before branding became a word thrown around in boardrooms, it meant a literal brand scorched into livestock to signal ownership. Barbaric, yes. It played a purely functional role and wasn’t exactly emotive — but its purpose mirrors what branding in marketing still...

Typefaces form the backbone of an inclusive brand experience. They can welcome, or they can exclude. They can slow people down, or help them feel seen. That’s the philosophy behind Inclusive Sans 2.0, designer Olivia King’s latest release: an open-source sans serif...
