“I want to build a place people love working in.” Arthur Foliard on launching Koto’s NYC studio

Since Koto first began with their London studio in 2014, the creative agency has expanded both in size and location, with studios reaching the landmark cities of Berlin and Los Angeles. After five years with the London team, Creative Director Arthur Foliard took his expertise across the pond as he embarked on a new and exciting mission. He leads Koto’s second North American chapter: a new studio in none other than the Big Apple, New York City. Following the first three months since the studio’s initial launch, we caught up with Arthur to speak about what went on behind the scenes, and the empathetic vision he’s set out to achieve. PT: Hi Arthur! First and foremost, congratulations on the move. How are you feeling about it now? AF: Hey! I feel great, who wouldn’t?! Ha
