Walpole: Tell us about your company…
Amanda Kasper: Alpha Kilo is a multi-national, award-winning communications agency operating at the intersection of art, design, luxury, and culture. Founded in 2015 by myself and Lauren Busto, we have grown into a global agency with offices in London, Edinburgh, New York and Seattle, working with cultural game-changers and category leaders worldwide.
In our work, we craft exceptional exhibitions, events and public relations campaigns that reflect our focus on human connection, a celebration of the creative spirit, and a commitment to creating deep and lasting impact for our clients. Our work has spanned luxury partners and brands from Huntsman to Diageo Rare & Exceptional, Bisazza to Wildland.
Our work is bold yet considered; driven by strategic clarity, creative intuition, and a belief in the power of storytelling to connect people and ideas. We deliver exceptional exhibitions, events, and public relations campaigns grounded in human connection, artistic integrity, and enduring impact.
What is your area of expertise, and how can luxury brands benefit from working with you?
At Alpha Kilo, our expertise lies in strategic communications, brand storytelling, and luxury experiences that resonate with discerning audiences. We work at the intersection of PR, cultural programming, and elevated brand partnerships, crafting campaigns that are intelligent, targeted, and commercially effective.
Luxury brands benefit from our sharp creative instincts, our insight into what drives desire and loyalty among high-net-worth audiences, and the global network to turn ideas into meaningful, high-impact experiences. Perhaps of particular interest to Walpole members, Alpha Kilo offers a uniquely transatlantic perspective. With American founders and offices in both London and New York, we bring fluency in two luxury cultures and relationships that span key US enclaves, from Nantucket to Sun Valley. In short, we help luxury brands translate their value across borders, generations, and platforms without diluting their DNA.
What luxury brands has your company worked with previously?
Alpha Kilo has worked with several high-profile luxury brands across various industries, including design, spirits, fashion, and hospitality. Some notable luxury clients include Bisazza, Corston Architectural Detail, David Collins Studio, The Deck London (now Knatchbull), Diageo Rare & Exceptional, Huntsman, Kartell, LAPADA, Larkspur & Hawk, and Savile Row.
What has been a significant achievement in your company’s timeline?
The Alpha Kilo team is honoured to have been recognised by our peers with various awards in the past few years, including PR Net’s International Agency of the Year. Our founder, Amanda Kasper, was also listed as MarComms Most Influential 2024 by PRNet.
Why was it important for your organisation to be involved with Walpole?
Alpha Kilo is deeply rooted in the worlds of design, luxury, and culture, and Walpole represents the pinnacle of British luxury. Being part of this community allows us to collaborate with brands and organisations that share our enduring commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and cultural relevance.
Tell us about an exciting development or new launch for your brand in the coming months...
This spring, we’re proud to open Alpha Kilo Edinburgh, a new office that strengthens our UK footprint and anchors our work in Scotland. It will serve as a base for our growing client network in the region, as well as for brands looking to activate with purpose and creativity across Scotland’s cultural and commercial landscape.
In July, we’re excited to debut the Alpha Kilo Workshops during Nantucket by Design, a curated program that brings together luxury brands and artisans working at the highest levels of craftsmanship. The outcome is an immersive, retail-enabled experience that puts process, provenance, and purpose at the forefront. Everything in the space will be available to purchase or commission, supporting the long-term viability of heritage craft and the next generation of makers.
