Brief

THE BRIEF

Kiru is a digital payroll platform working to make pay days simpler for employers, accountants and workers across Latin America. As the company grew, its identity hadn't kept pace.


The brand needed a visible, felt update, and marketing wanted a short film that could carry that update on its own: no voiceover, just motion, tone and under a minute to make the shift feel real to the people who already knew the old Kiru.

The brief sat inside a bigger theme: love in the age of technology, before it, finding it, keeping it, and after it. The team chose the last one. Life After Love.

Concept

THE CONCEPT

Kiru's philosophy in one line:
Do what matters,
simply, that's the point!
and the dot in the new logo carries it.

Motion

THE MOTION

Working from the concept and story direction already underway with Kiru's creative team, I focused on turning that language into sequence, pacing each idea so it had room to land, building color transitions between the brand's new palette that felt intentional rather than decorative, and closing the film with the new logo animation: the dot settling into place as the story's final beat.


The brief sat inside a bigger theme: love in the age of technology, before it, finding it, keeping it, and after it. The team chose the last one. Life After Love.

Outcome

OUTCOME

This is the final product, an incredible brand film.
