Who We Are

Ventur is a branding agency founded by ex-heavy metal drummer, Kaine Levy. Based in London and working globally, we're known for our ability to use brand to drive massive commercial growth.

venture

[ˈvɛntʃə]      verb

1. dare to do or say something that may be considered audacious.

"12 years ago I was touring the UK, playing heavy metal music and ruining people's ear drums. It was an amazing time in my life. There's no better feeling than seeing fans scream your music and hearing that it got them through tough times.

After spending plenty of time on stage and in front of cameras, I began to develop a love for the visual arts. I decided to marry my two passions together and began creating music videos. By the time I was 17, I had a sizeable roster of clients in 8 countries around the world, many of which were bands and record labels I admired growing up.

As I honed my craft, I began offering my videography services to the corporate world. But, after 8 years of building up my expertise, my team, and my portfolio, I encountered a challenge...

The high-quality content I was creating for clients wasn't always performing well and I couldn't figure out why. That's when I discovered brand strategy, and it changed everything.

I became obsessed and wanted to learn everything there was to know about building a brand, connecting with customers, positioning, and market research. What I realised is that my clients didn't have a brand strategy. They were just asking me to create ideas that they thought would work rather than doing what was objectively right for their brand and their customers.

Fast-forward to today, brand strategy has become our core offering at Ventur. We have created huge transformations and driven massive commercial growth for companies around the world.

For me, it has me to impact lives the same way I used to when I was making music, and gives me the same creative fulfilment as when I was making films. Everything I do now is about building a legacy. And if that resonates with you, then we should do it together."

Our History

In 2012, before Ventur became the brand consultancy it is today, we were a production company making films that screened all around the world. A few years later, we decided to bring our expertise as filmmakers to the corporate world, producing commercials for brands that wanted to share their stories.

But there was a problem. We realised brands had no idea how to articulate their story, how to build relationships with their customers, and how to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

So Ventur evolved once more, helping companies strategise and build brands that drive commercial business growth.

Self-Awareness

We often have a bigger vision for our clients than they do. That's because we want the work we do to be worth remembering. Think big, or be open to thinking big, and we'll get on like a house on fire.

We always hold true to our word. Whether it's showing up on time or delivering on the agreed deadline, when we say we're going to do something, it happens.

Self-awareness is the soul of our culture here at Ventur. We believe it's important to continuously check yourself and challenge your existing beliefs. That's how we grow.

Brands we've transformed

"Quite simply the best experience with a brand consultancy I have had to date. Ventur integrated into our team seamlessly and established our entire brand strategy, producing deliverables we didn't even know we needed!

Kaine has been with us for the journey, checking in to see where things are going well, and also delivering some hard truths as to where other elements in the business aren’t aligning with what we set out.

The team were patient, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with."

"I have to start by saying a huge THANK YOU! Working with Kaine and team has truly helped us transform our business. We were stuck and needed some direction and they came in and helped us find the right focus to build more solid foundations for our brand.

Kaine has been so generous with his time, we’re so grateful for everything he’s done for us. His strategic mind helped keep us focused on the right things and has come in right when we needed him most. Everything he does is rooted in strategy which has really helped us prove out ideas and build on the right insights. It’s felt like he had joined our little team for a bit, he cared so much and so genuinely it made it so easy to work with him.

I can’t recommend Ventur enough. Thank you thank you thank you!"
