Independent By Design
After decades of building brands inside some of the world’s biggest agencies, we found a better way to put all that experience to work. Nitwit is an independent creative company built to give ambitious brands direct access to senior thinking, creativity and craft without the traditional layers. Along the way, we’ve built relationships with talented people across every corner of the business, giving us the freedom to bring in exactly what an idea needs. No departments to feed. No capabilities to sell. Just what’s right for the work.
