Regular Practice - Tom Finn & Kristoffer Sølling

People Doing Things - A podcast by Ed Little

Introducing Tom Finn & Kristoffer Sølling. They’re the founders and directors of Regular Practice - one of my favourite up & coming branding agencies and one of It’s Nice That’s One’s To Watch. Based of Broadway Market in London’s Hackney. Despite working with big businesses like Fred Perry, Tom Dixon, Acne Studios and Tom’s - their specialism comes from variety - working across multiple categories and life stages. From fashion and art, to F&B, hospitality, tech and beauty - using the learnings from one category to push boundaries in the next. Rejecting convention in favour of innovation. They’ve also worked for and with a number of People Doing Things alumni including Mob Kitchen on Peckish, their app for real foodies and Juiced, their talent agency. As well as travel guide, Step and a soon to be released rebrand for social media agency Spin Brands with more in the pipeline. What I particularly value and respect is their ability to combine top-class design rigour with a youthful energy and expression. Hailing from the art world, not the agency world - Tom & Kristoffer have fought hard to earn a seat at the branding table; bringing a sense of hard work, humility and a generous dose of underdog spirit to all they do. Reflected in their eponymous namesake - Regular Practice. In this episode we reflect on how they’ve got to where they are today, the type of agency they are trying to build and how artificial intelligence and technology is changing how we create and interact with the brands of tomorrow. If you don’t know your dielines from your wireframes then this ones for you. Enjoy.
