Technology without humanity is just a pile of sticks and rocks. It takes creativity to build a fire.
Intelligent Animals is a strategic & creative led agency, focused on human-first creativity.
We’re built for brands at pivotal moments.
It’s our humanity, our empathy, wild truths, faithful imagination, playful essence and collaborative spirit that always show up in our work.

CURRENT & PREVIOUS WORK
In a time when advertising and communications feels like it’s becoming less and less human, and more and more artificial, we want to make sure there’s at least one outpost that’s the bastion for human creativity, and celebrates what makes us, us…
Human beings who wake up excited to build snowmen (and women); who have their hearts broken and yet fall in love all over again; laugh at bad dad jokes and never forget mom’s mom hugs; find joy in solving hard problems; and cherish the craziest experience of all…
Being human.
WE’RE LEAN.
We do it without the bloat. No excessive costs or fat fee structures. Clean. Simple. Lean.
WE’RE FAST.
We have over 35-years of combined senior leadership. We think fast. Move fast. And deliver.
WE’RE PRECISE.
We get it. Brand. Strategy. Creative. We don’t dance around the problem. We ask the right questions.
We mix strategic prowess with killer creative instincts.
And we do it with honesty, bravery, kindness and hard work.
