Helping small businesses shape how their brand and marketing show up – so everything else flows.

Thinking. Design. Direction.

At ko&co, we focus on thoughtful strategy and strong design to help small businesses make better decisions.

You need a brand that speaks to your audience.

Most small businesses jump straight into marketing without ever defining who they are. We help you get clear on your brand – what you stand for, who you serve, and how to show up with clarity, creativity and confidence. Through workshops, strategy sessions, and visual identity design, we turn ideas into brand direction you can use. Because when you understand your brand, decisions get easier, marketing makes sense and growth follows.

Coworking as a workplace, not just a desk.

Most people don’t just want a hot desk – they want belonging, support, and a sense of community. They need focus, energy, and, as small business owners, a reason to get out of the house. Our South Melbourne coworking hub is a boutique shared office for founders and small teams who want structure without rigid rules, community without the noise, and space to do their best work.

Space to Plan, Pitch, Gather or Create.

Our meeting rooms are designed for workshops, conversations, and idea generation, without the dreaded hotel carpets or fluorescent lights. Whether you’re hosting a strategy day, client meeting, or creative session, we can help you shape the day – or keep it simple with straightforward room hire. Light-filled, flexible, and thoughtfully designed, each room is made to help you think clearly and connect meaningfully.

You didn't leave the 9 to 5 to do it alone.

You didn’t build a small business to follow someone else’s formula.

You built it to do work that makes sense for you, your clients, and the way you want to operate.

ko&co brings thinking, design and direction to help small businesses articulate who they are, what they stand for, and how their brand and marketing should show up in the world – so the rest flows better. 

Brand strategy, marketing direction and design intelligence – applied thoughtfully, not reactively.

It’s not about square metres.

It’s about working in a way,  and sometimes in a space, that feels considered and intentional.

At ko&co, we don’t think in terms of floorplans or square metres. We think about how environment, structure and design support better thinking, better decisions, and more sustainable work.

Whether that’s through brand strategy sessions, design-led workshops, or time set aside to step back and plan, the focus is always the same: creating the conditions for work that works!

This isn’t about real estate or swipe cards. It’s about shaping how work shows up for you, so it fits the people doing it. 

Thoughtful work needs room to breathe.

Good words from good humans.

When you understand your brand — or where you work best — everything else follows.

Trusted by the curious and the courageous.
