Bearded Kitten

Bearded Kitten is a creative experience agency that designs and produces immersive brand activations, live events, public launches, pop-ups and cultural experiences. Founded from an interactive live-event and festival entertainment collective, the company combines strategy, spatial design, production and measurement for campaigns across the UK, Europe, the Americas and Australasia.

Its work spans experiential marketing, entertainment, retail, food and beverage, gaming, technology and financial services. The agency develops concepts and cultural insights, 2D and 3D visualisation, technical CAD, event logistics, site operations, staging, health and safety, and interactive entertainment programming.

In-house production

A central part of the business is Bearded Kitten Studios, its in-house fabrication and technical-design facility. The production team supports end-to-end scenic construction and bespoke physical builds, including:

• Carpentry, metalwork, prop making and prototyping
• CNC machining, scenic art, spray finishing and specialist fabrication
• Lighting and AV integration
• Modular stages, immersive sets, retail fit-outs and white-label builds

The agency also operates The TROUPE, an in-house talent division for performers, hosts, creators and brand ambassadors. Its proprietary Impactulator measurement tool combines spatial engagement tracking, social listening and reach measurement to evaluate campaign performance.

Selected work

Projects include Beavertown Brewery's The Lost Dimensions, the Battersea Power Station public launch and Chimney Lift Experience, Netflix's Wednesday “Outcastaway Cruise,” Stranger Things activations, the Peaky Blinders immersive global premiere, Mailchimp conference programmes, Cadbury's “Secret Santa” tour, and Amazon and Twitch experiential builds. The studio has also created work for PlayStation, Pokémon, Revolut, L’Oréal/Kérastase, Black Mirror, Capcom's Resident Evil 7, Pringles and Time Out.

Bearded Kitten became part of Havas Play UK following Havas UK Limited's acquisition of the company in December 2025. It continues to operate under its own brand, leadership and creative-production model while drawing on the wider Havas network.
