We are Hothouse Studio

Creatives for Disruption

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.

With backgrounds in climate campaigning and communications, we are a team that gets it. Collectively, we’ve crafted and delivered powerful campaign strategies, mobilised tens of thousands of people, and helped shift the dial on environment and social justice across the continent.

We develop brands and identities that breathe personality into your organisation, campaign or business. Drawing on our in-house creative expertise and working with experts from our community, 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.

A good message needs the right audience. We design strategic and creative communication strategies that shift power and win outcomes. Through authetic assets and the right channels, we get your story to the people who need to hear it.

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 connection is our core. 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.
