We were thrilled to give the team at Creative Boom a glimpse inside Kiln for their Studio of the Week feature. We believe that different surroundings can spark new ideas and broaden an understanding of what contemporary design can be.

We’ve been working with the Wall Street Journal to explore the motion language for WSJ+. A new subscription offering that combines the expertise of four distinct publications, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch and Investor's Business Daily . Aiming to provide insights on global business, markets, and politics that you can’t get anywhere else; WSJ wanted to find a way to communicate the unique combination of publications coming together under one roof. We created a motion language that puts the plus at the centre. Using it as a vehicle to expand the picture, delve deeper and give greater insight as we navigate between the four distinct worlds. The intention was that this provided an architecture and framework for the brand to build on. Take a look at our Instagram for more of the films and some of our early exploration work.

LIFEFUL MOTION Motion design is a brand’s body language. It is the key to understanding who a brand is, how they exist in our world and how we should approach them. It’s these unconscious signals that draw us to form attachment and create the anticipation and desire to learn more. At Kiln motion is more that just a tactic to turn heads, movement that truly moves us has the ability to do more than just set the tone. It transforms the abstract into the familiar and the lifeless into the lifeful; literally creating a living, breathing brand. If this resonates: [email protected]

LIFEFUL DIGITAL In a world that demands us to be more connected than ever before, digital design allows us to not only navigate, but explore ways to engage, express and find belonging. To meet these needs, digital experiences must transcend the functional in pursuit of what resonates, connecting us to brands in a way that feels meaningful, intuitive, and personal. At Kiln, digital experiences become homes for brands. A formless, limitless space that can uniquely express identity — creating vessels that transport us ever closer to a brand and turn fleeting clicks into lasting connections.

LIFEFUL BRANDS As human beings, we navigate the world through meaning and connection, seeking patterns and narratives that resonate with ourselves and the world around us. The most innovative brands understand who they are and how they connect with us. They remind us of the things that make us human—the joyful, the struggles, the oddities, and the courage to be real. At Kiln, we champion those sparks of life, shaping the honest and relatable into brands that are full of life and full of humanity. If this resonates: [email protected]
