Overview
Raptor exists to bridge the gap between brands and the real lives of young people. We are a multidisciplinary marketing agency operating at the intersection of where youth meets culture. In today’s ever-evolving cultural landscape, young audiences expect more from the companies they engage with. Authenticity is non-negotiable, and therefore its imperative brands must speak to youth culture in ways that resonate both deeply and accurately. At Raptor, we support our clients in navigating this complex terrain by tapping into the real voices and lived experiences of young people around the world.
With a global insight network of over 10,000 young individuals, we’re always in touch with an ever-evolving youth landscape. This direct access allows us to decode what engages and motivates young audiences, ensuring every campaign we craft resonates personally, collectively, and culturally. Whether through immersive live experiences, content, social-first storytelling, brand partnerships, or large-scale sampling campaigns, we design work that meets young people where they are online, on campus, and in real life.
Headquartered in the UK, but with teams in both Europe and North America, we partner with global culture-led companies - inc. Tinder, Jagermeister, Samsung & Gymshark - to build campaigns that drive relevance and long-term impact.
