ABOUT

–

Klitos Teklos is a multidisciplinary Brand Architect. He designs, develops, evolves or repositions luxury brands and products through a bespoke blueprint that delivers desirability, awareness, cultural pop, consumer relatability and strategic business growth.

Throughout his career as a Brand Development Expert and Creative Executive, he has demonstrated how a visionary creative lead with a strong business sense, can deliver universally cool aspiration with a strong bottom line, and at the same time inspire his teams, colleagues and collaborators to strive for excellence through a respectful, human-first and inclusive approach to leadership.

After spending many years on both the agency side, as well as in-house, Teklos established a hybrid way of partnering with brands by combining the best of both worlds: less in-house baggage and less agency distance. His signature Brand Residencies – as seen most recently at GAP INC, Sol de Janeiro and The Row – established a more integrated way of collaborating with brands and their teams as a Chief Creative or Chief Brand Officer in Residence, envisioning a brand's next phase with equal parts clarity, strategy and vision.

Born in Cyprus and living in New York City for over 25 years, he credits his bicontinental living for his multicultural sensibility, aesthetic and influences.
