Kohl Studio — The line that defines.

Manifesto

Most brands look the same because most agencies work the same.

Generic grids. Recycled strategies. Calendars built for volume, not meaning. Content managed, never edited.

We started Kohl because premium D2C brands deserve more than social media management — they deserve brand direction.

The word kohl comes from the line drawn across the eyes of queens, priests, and warriors for four thousand years. Protection. Definition. Ritual. A single stroke that separates the face from everything around it.

That is the work we do for brands.

We write positioning that makes competitors irrelevant. We build visual worlds that belong on perfume bottles, not mood boards. We treat Instagram as an editorial surface, not a posting schedule. And we take one brand at a time, so the work stays sharp.

If your brand is premium, we will make it look like it. If it isn't, we are not your studio.

Kohl Studio. The line that defines.

What we do

Three ways to
work with us.

Built for premium D2C founders who want brand direction, not social media management. We take one brand at a time so the work compounds.

01 / Foundation

Brand Blueprint

One-time engagement.

Positioning, visual direction, voice architecture, 90-day content framework. A 40-page document that becomes the source of truth for everything your brand does next.

From AED 20,0004–6 weeks · By application

02 / Direction

The Kohl Retainer

Monthly brand direction.

Editorial Instagram grid, Reels concepting, content calendar, ongoing brand stewardship. One brand at a time. Six-month minimum so the work has time to compound.

From AED 15,000 / mo6-month minimum · One brand at a time

03 / Advisory

Consulting

Taste, not execution.

For founders who want a sharp second pair of eyes on positioning, hires, creative direction, or in-house team builds. Booked in four-hour blocks.

AED 2,500 / hour4-hour minimum

Selected work

Zira Perfumes
An anthology of moods.

A premium Indian fragrance house — four signature SKUs, 25% oil concentration, an editorial brand world built from scratch.

We wrote the positioning, designed the brand voice, built the Instagram grid, directed every Reel — and watched a brand with zero presence cross 13,000 organic followers and 2.5 million monthly views in eight weeks.

Motion

We build worlds
that move.

Every Zira fragrance has its own visual world — its own splash, its own light, its own theatre of ingredients. We direct each one frame-by-frame: from the still photograph to the AI-generated kinetic loop.

Static is dead. Premium brands live in motion now.

Founder

Built by an operator,
not an agency.

Kohl Studio is led by Srikanth Chinta — twelve years in brand marketing, founder of Zira Perfumes, and the operator behind every brand world we build.

We don't sell hours. We sell the kind of taste you can't outsource — the difference between a brand that posts and a brand that's collected. Every engagement runs through one person, with one philosophy: the line that defines belongs in your brand, not on someone else's deck.
