Turning Brands Into Art
Companies that engage authentically in art become trend-setting and memorable. At Markenkunst, we create distinctive artworks that elevate your brand internally and externally, building meaningful connections with employees, stakeholders, and clients.
For centuries, art has elevated brands. Today, Markenkunst is the next evolutionary step:
a strategic fusion of branding and art, where brands become part of the artwork itself.
Long before modern branding existed, prominent figures of the 15th century commissioned artists—not just for decoration, but to express their values, tell their stories, and demonstrate their influence.
When the Medici family sponsored Botticelli’s Primavera or Michelangelo’s frescoes, they built their personal brands and created cultural monuments.
In the 19th century, Pears Soap famously transformed Millais’s Bubbles into the world’s first branded fine art.
Around the same time, Moët & Chandon commissioned Alfons Mucha to create a series of posters that conveyed elegance and luxury—using art to shape perception and influence audiences.
Since the 20th century, global organizations like IBM, Microsoft, and Deutsche Bank have integrated art into their offices—shaping company culture and sparking inspiration across their teams.
Today, brands use art more strategically than ever. Collaborations like Louis Vuitton with Yayoi Kusama and her signature Dots installations show how art can create immersive, memorable brand experiences.
Hennessy transformed its bottles with KAWS’s iconic illustrations, and countless other bold partnerships demonstrate that art is not just aesthetic—it drives relevance and measurable business growth.
