Kibbo Kift Agency

With the US elections coming this week, I spoke with Dickon Bonvik-Stone at Communicating Climate Change about how climate comms can leverage certain aspects of right-wing campaigns – a fascinating discussion which isn't regularly explored in the space. We speak Trump, race riots, Notting Hill Carnival and where the phrase "Eat The Rich" came from. Check it out if you have a mo!

"The way we took inspiration from those campaigns was really understanding audiences, how to appeal to audiences, and how to speak to them on a level that really engaged them. " Episode 50 of the Communicating Climate Change podcast features a conversation with Sam Narr, Founder and CEO of Kibbo Kift Agency, a specialist PR and performance marketing agency exclusively promoting #ClimateSolutions and #SocialJustice initiatives. Amongst other things, Sam and I discussed the rightwards political shift happening across the UK, Europe, and the United States, where this issue gets tangled up with climate, and what can be learned from the campaigns that brought us #Brexit and #Trump. 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dJdppEHk 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/d4ab_iFn Or wherever you get your podcasts. Heavily influenced by his third-generation immigrant background, working-class roots, and an education in radical #SocialMovements and pop culture, Sam’s motivation to work in #Environmentalism stems from an ambition to rebalance society's social and racial inequities. Over the last five years, Kibbo Kift Agency has worked with 60+ clients including climate activists, corporate pressure groups, innovative tech start-ups, responsible fashion brands, global climate organisations, and more. Kibbo Kift's projects have included a national campaign with Greenpeace UK, a national campaign to pressure MPs to support the only proposed legislation that ensures a joined-up approach to tackling the dual climate and nature crises, as well as ongoing media management of advertising and PR pressure group Clean Creatives, and global press office management for the world's largest digital clock, The Climate Clock Project, which counts down the time left until humanity passes the 1.5C threshold. #Marketing #SocialMarketing #ClimateCommunication

In this week's episode of Sexy Climate Change I'm joined by Sam Narr to discuss running a PR Agency that reframes the climate crisis in new and engaging ways! Sam is the founder of Kibbo Kift Agency, a specialist PR and Performance agency exclusively promoting climate solutions and social justice. In this episode, we discuss Sam’s journey from working in the fast-paced world of fashion and consumer PR to launching a boutique agency dedicated to promoting sustainability in ways that are both innovative and accessible. We’ll also dig into the challenges of balancing impactful messaging with making it appealing to new audiences—and why he believes creativity is key to shifting public perception.

The media focus may be on the Private Members' Bills covering assisted dying and phones in schools, but let's hope the Climate & Nature Bill passes and makes a difference for us all. Been a pleasure to work on the CAN campaign with Sam Narr.

Proud to have secured this opinion piece in Politics.co.uk for the Zero Hour team, as their Climate and Nature Bill will be introduced today via the private members' ballot bill. ✊🌍 The op-ed by newly-elected Lib Dem Dr. Roz Savage MBE introduces new binding targets, meaning government action must contribute towards limiting the global mean temperature increase to 1.5C, halt all oil and gas exploration and imports and reverse natural decline to show that it is “visibly and measurably on the path to recovery”. Piece here: https://lnkd.in/e2xfKCDv Also a nice mention of the CAN Bill and the private members' ballot bill in the Guardian today. ✊ Kibbo Kift Agency Oliver Sidorczuk James Sutton Matthew Fletcher-Jones

24 hours from another Clean Creatives F-List launch, and this time, it's bigger and more traumatising than ever. 🚨 Read here: https://lnkd.in/eVRiuaHx Now in its fourth year, the report, which has taken researchers months to compile, incorporates over 30 new sources of data to provide the most complete picture of the creative industry's work with fossil fuels ever. It reveals 1,010 active and recent contracts between fossil fuel organisations and leading advertising and PR firms worldwide, 551 of which have never been reported on before. These findings illustrate the fossil fuel industry's reliance on a mixture of independent agencies and leading advertising and PR holding firms such as dentsu, Edelman, Havas, Interpublic Group (IPG), Omnicom, Publicis, and WPP, all of whom are identified as engaging in several contracts with the likes of BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, Chevron and ExxonMobil. The agencies with the most contracts are Ogilvy (15), McCann Worldgroup (15), FTI Consulting (13), Burson (12), IPG Mediabrands (12), and Edelman (11). Kibbo Kift Agency was pleased to support the launch of the report with a few coverage highlights, including: - ADWEEK: https://lnkd.in/eJmX7Vew - DeSmog: https://lnkd.in/eaaXtxr2 - edie: https://lnkd.in/epm-dhi7 - Euronews: https://lnkd.in/eWguzyZw - BusinessGreen: https://lnkd.in/eiEw4kuH - PRWeek UK: https://lnkd.in/eEpQzz8R - Campaign Asia-Pacific: https://lnkd.in/epRVT_tk Also, for the launch of the F-List, Clean Creatives has launched a new database of oil and gas companies with over 50% revenue or generation from fossil fuels. This database is the first global list of fossil fuel clients to help agencies and creatives understand whom they should not be working for. Link here: https://lnkd.in/es2MtQkY And a big well done to the Clean Creatives team Duncan Meisel, Nayantara Dutta, Laura Ranzato, Tolmeia Gregory, Elspeth Rountree and partners and spokespeople Solitaire Townsend, Maria Ventura, Belinda Noble, Stephen Horn, Nozuko Poni ✊

This is your “fun” reminder that AD & PR industries are the ‘Mad Men fuelling the madness’ as Secretary-General of the UN António Guterres recently said, and we’re ready to show you which agencies are working with the world's biggest polluters - and which ones are also saying NO. With just less than a week to go until our 2024 F-List drops, we’d like to know your Mad Men theories. Why do they continue to work with fossil fuel organizations and gaslight the public into thinking it’s safe and sustainable? Who do you think should sign the Clean Creatives pledge next? ✍️ ♻️ Share this post with any planet-loving Mad Men – or simply your network – and get ready for the big reveal on September 24th. #MadMen #CleanCreatives #FList2024 #Greenwashing #Advertising #Sustainability #ClimateChange 🎞️ Original screencaps by MadMenQTs on X.

We started our week with a celebration of fossil-free advertising with Clean Creatives on Monday evening 🌍 Ahead of #BCorpFestival24, it was great to hear from Sam Narr, on behalf of Clean Creatives & Kibbo Kift and Chris Norman MBE, GOOD's CEO & co-founder. They discussed lobbying B Lab, celebrating the recent decision & shared their hope that the Havas case sets a precedent & the new standards mean no agency can be a B Corp and have fossil fuel & high polluter clients. Huge thank you to our co-hosts, Kibbo Kift Agency, OXygen, Shape History and Climbing Trees for such an insightful and meaningful evening!

We were delighted to support a PR push for this creative campaign against abrdn. Asset Manager Quest from Serious People shows how anti-fossil fuel campaigning can meet exceptional creative to create impact–got to love Oli Frost's video game design too 👾 Coverage highlights included regional titles such as The National, North Edinburgh News, Insider.co.uk and a big hit online and in print in City AM.
