I'm Kieran Tie.

‍

I'm the founder of Lede & Kicker, a verbal branding and naming studio helping growing brands with big hearts and even bigger dreams find their voice—and make it heard.

I also run two newsletters:

• Motormouth—your weekly, no-BS shot of brand storytelling that drops every Friday. We bust myths, skewer trends, and give you practical tips to cut the fluff and sell more stuff.
• The Untitled Dispatches—landing in your inbox every Sunday, this newsletter offers offbeat insights and practical advice for creatives who want to build meaningful careers—without following the script.

‍

Before all of this, I was a software developer and product manager, until burnout shoved me into the world of branding and editorial. Since then, I've had the privilege of learning from and working with some of the best brands around, including Shopify, ConvertKit, Invision, Productboard, Animalz, and more. I've written and produced hundreds of pieces on everything from business strategy to binge-watching, many of which have snagged the top spot in Google and driven hundreds of thousands of visitors.
