What’s the story behind Luku?

Like many brands, our story began on a grassy knoll outside a London pub. As beads began to form on our glasses of rose, so too did a pretty rad idea. As you know, setting up a business is hard work. Especially if you’re going at it alone. And it wasn’t until that fateful evening that we realised we didn’t have to shoulder the lows and celebrate the highs on our own – after all, three minds are better than one. So it was in that moment, that realisation, that we named our company – wait for it – Six Legs. Followed by Scaffolding, Brown Fox, and Grassy Knoll to name a few. Okay, so we didn’t have our ‘aha’ moment then and there. We thought we would, it felt like we should. Like the stars were aligning and the next double decker would give us our name, but alas, no great ideas happen on an empty stomach. Thus in search of an identity and food, we found ourselves with a burrito each in hand when Luku Creative was born.

So why Luku? Well we’re one third Finnish, and as a Finnish word it described us rather nicely. It means numbers, chapters – story. And when we looked up the definition and read Se on ihan oma lukunsa, we knew. Because with Luku, it’s another story of its own.

That’s our story, but yours is another of its own. Let us help you tell it.
