House of Oddities (or HOO, for short) is a creative and content agency founded on the principle that ‘difference makes a difference’. And hoo, boy, are we different. Sure, we have all the usual tools and skills you’d expect from an award-winning agency: creative excellence, deep-rooted strategy and audience insight, and top-notch production skills. So what exactly is this ‘difference that makes a difference’? Different people = different perspectives. We’re founded by diverse people from the most underrepresented groups – women, people of colour, people from working class origins, people from the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities. (Our CEO, Sachini Imbuldeniya, fits into four of these categories, the show-off.). This brings a fresh perspective to our ideas and tickles those otherwise hard-to-reach audiences in just the right way to make an impact. Different approach = different planet. Everything we do is sustainable, ethical, and equal. No exceptions. We’re a member of adGreen, and a Responsible100 company. And whether it’s helping teenagers with cancer, men with mental health issues, tackling period poverty, or children at risk of cruelty, we’re here… to make a real difference. Different skills = different impact. Our extensive editorial backgrounds mean our storytelling finds the sweet spot between what an audience wants to see and what a brand wants to say. In other words, we make stuff that gets attention and performs for your brand. It’s not (just) pretty. It works.
