Our Story

THE PEOPLE BEHIND the work.

We are a small studio with a wide reach. Two founders, two cities, one shared belief: that the best brand moments are the ones people feel.

01 How It Started

BUILT FROM experience.

THKT Studios was founded in 2025 by two people who had spent years deep inside the world of brand activations, events and cultural production. They knew there was a better way to do it.

Not bigger agencies with 12-week timelines. Not vendors who show up, deliver and disappear. Something closer. Something where the creative team is also the team in the room on the night.

"We wanted to build the studio we always wished we had on the other side of the table."

Operating between New York City and Amsterdam gives us two creative centers with genuinely different cultural energy and a network that spans both sides of the Atlantic. We bring that range to every activation we touch.

Today THKT is the studio behind a growing body of brand experiences, cultural moments and sub-brand productions. We keep the team tight and the output high.

02 The Founders

THE PEOPLE.

Amsterdam

SPENCER
BOURS

Creative Strategy · Brand · Partnerships

Spencer is the creative and commercial engine of the studio. He leads strategy, shapes the brand direction for every activation and manages the partnerships that get THKT in the room. Amsterdam-based, globally connected. His background spans creative consulting, brand development and building the kind of cultural relationships that make the work possible.

New York City

KELVIN
GONZALEZ

Operations · Venues · Production

Kelvin runs the machine. From venue sourcing and vendor relationships to day-of production and team logistics. He makes sure what we promise actually happens. NYC-based with roots across the city's events and nightlife ecosystem. His networks open doors that others can't, and his attention to detail keeps every activation tight.

Our Mission

WE MAKE EXPERIENCES PEOPLE REMEMBER.

Every activation we take on is built to land. Not just to look good in a brief. We care about the moment people walk in, the energy in the room, and the story they tell afterward. That is what we optimize for.

Our Vision

THE STUDIO BRANDS CALL WHEN IT MATTERS.

We want to be the studio that brands trust for their most important live moments. The product launches, the cultural plays, the activations that define a year. Known in New York and Amsterdam, respected everywhere.

03 How We Work

THE APPROACH.

01

WE SHOW UP

Our founding team is present on every project. Not a junior account manager. The people you hired. You get our attention, our network and our accountability from kickoff to close.

02

WE DELIVER

We are built for execution. Concepts are only valuable when they actually happen. We take pride in closing the gap between what is pitched and what gets built.

03

BUILT TOGETHER

The best work we have done was made in close collaboration with the brands we partnered with. We bring the ideas and the production muscle. You bring the brand knowledge. Together we make something neither of us would have made alone.

04

CULTURE FIRST

We do not just stage events. We position brands inside culture. Every activation is informed by what is happening in music, fashion, food, nightlife and art. That is where the audience already is.

05

HONEST WORK

We will tell you when something is not going to work. We would rather push back early and get it right than nod along and deliver something average.

06

SMALL ON PURPOSE

We are intentionally lean. No layers of account management, no bloated overhead. It keeps us fast, keeps us hungry and keeps the quality of your experience high.
