Our take
In order to meet their branding and marketing needs, businesses can either hire graphic designers at a cost to their budget or rely upon free templates they can edit to their uses. However, whilst these templates have allowed many lower-budget businesses to create a digital image, it has also made it difficult for them to appear unique online. Kittl supplies a design platform for companies to create effective and individual graphics online, easily, and without the need for design expertise.
Kittl was founded in 2020 to combat the “cookie cutter” digital image landscape brought about by the rise in templates. Its platform allows clients to make detailed and unique logos without design training; with tools including text shading and text decoration, libraries of images and ornaments, and much more. On top of this, the company provides tutorials and inspiration for customers to make the most of what it provides.
Early Kittl clients include the likes of Warner Bros, Netflix, and German publisher Hubert Burda Media. The company has secured significant funding, the latest of which is cited to help grow its team and develop better tools for its users to unlock their creativity, as it further establishes itself and attracts new customers.

Company values
- Thoughtful communication: We meet when it matters and communicate clearly so everyone has space to do their best work
- Disagree and Commit: We challenge decisions when we disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. We argue and debate in pursuit of the best answers, yet, on the other hand, unify fully behind a decision, regardless of any parochial interests
- Striving for excellence: Once committed, we drive a product, service, or process to ultimate perfection - we focus on the tiniest relevant details, which set us apart
- Ownership: As an owner you take ownership of outcomes and drive decisions that lead to those outcomes. Outcome is user value (value creation), and not just a feature, or a plain deliverable
- Bias for Action: Velocity matters like nothing else - it is ultimately our only advantage, since today everything can be rebuild
- Never settle: We are passionate about our work - which means on our way we never settle, always aiming for results that impress everyone. We think big and create and communicate a bold direction that inspire our results
