QISSA
A creative agency that specialises in storytelling · London
You know there's a story in your brand.
We find it, build the architecture around it, and lead it into production.
We tell stories that connect.
قصہ
/ˈkɪsə/ noun : Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Punjabi
A story or tale, rooted in the oral traditions of storytelling.
Originating from Arabic, Urdu, Persian and Punjabi. Passed down through generations, carried between cultures.
Story first. Everything else is detail.
"We find stories from within your brand, then build the story architecture that follows. The result is a story library you can use to connect with your customers."
What we do
The story layer.
Before production starts.
We work alongside agencies as a silent creative partner, and alongside brands as the narrative voice they have not yet found. White label where needed.
The work is built on more than fifteen years of programme and project management. Every production runs on it, so the work that ships is the work that was agreed.
Human stories are becoming rarer, and more valuable.
Authenticity is the only thing AI can't hallucinate.
