Why Kitt?

The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. Part of the problem is that too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie-cutter offices. We’re changing this.

Real company culture can only be built in person, in the real world – and for it to be authentic, it needs its own personalised space. That’s why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We’re long-term culture partners to our clients long after they've signed the lease and chosen the paint colours.

We’re disrupting an industry that has long needed a shake-up, and landlords are becoming increasingly aware of this. To let their spaces, they need to partner with a company that can offer hassle-free, flexible, and all-inclusive products. By partnering with Kitt, they can reach these new markets and serve the needs of these businesses.
