Hothouse Studio is a collective of creatives, campaigners, designers and storytellers.
We take on campaigns and projects in the climate and social justice space which challenge systems of economic, social and environmental harm, and that champion community care and connectivity.
We don't just talk climate. We live it.
Our projects
We’ve collaborated on some of the biggest projects across the Australian climate and social justice space. From brand development with Comms Declare and Fossil Ad Ban, to board games lampooning the fossil gas industry and campaigns to kick Dutton out of Dickson, we are climate comms specialists.
A good message needs a good audience. We design engaging creative strategies, develop authentic assets and find the right channels to send them out into the world – getting your story to the people who need to hear it.
We develop brands and identities that breathe personality into your organisation, campaign or business. Drawing on our in-house creative expertise and calling in the Hothouse Community’s insight, we create brands that catch eyes and capture minds.
Whether it’s building a new site from the ground up, breathing new life into your current one, or creating a unique microsite for a campaign, we create websites that blend seamless user experience with design that delights.
With backgrounds in campaigning and communications within the climate and social justice space, if you want strategy from a team that gets it, we’re your people. Collectively, we’ve crafted powerful, strategic messaging, mobilised tens of thousands of people, and helped shift the dial on climate and social justice across this continent. We work with changemakers to deliver strategies grounded in heart and hope.
Love it or hate it, we’re in an age of social media. We build versatile, no-nonsense social media strategies and produce social media content that resonates – all with a healthy perspective of the power and pitfalls of social media.
At Hothouse, community is our core – and there’s no better way to build community than getting a bunch of people in a room together. We bring together thoughtful event design, community-oriented values and love of a good time to create events that ignite ideas and spark enduring connections.

Hothouse is part of an international network of climate creatives, marketers, and communicators. When necessary, we build bespoke teams from our extensive network of specialist talent – bridging the gap between grassroots action and traditional marketing.
Working with the Hothouse Studio team was a transformative experience that went far beyond website design. Their positive attitude and genuine care for my success were evident in every meeting.

Hothouse respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, waters and skies where we live, work and create.

Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
