Brnds21 is Suriname's only Brand & Growth Consultancy — and the country's #1 branding and marketing agency. We help ambitious companies build strong brands, develop digital infrastructure, and drive sustainable growth. We partner with founders and leadership teams to turn brands into long-term business assets.
The story began informally as Real Graphix Design, a small design practice by Shaquille Wimpel focused on visual identity for local businesses — the roots that would later grow into a strategic brand consultancy.
The company was officially founded in 2014 as Real Design Spirit, expanding beyond design into broader brand development and strategic creative work.
Officially registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KKF), formalizing operations and positioning the company for larger commercial projects.
The company evolved into Brnds21 Creative Consultancy, shifting focus from design execution to strategic brand development and consulting.
Brnds21 continues to evolve into a strategic consultancy helping companies build brands, digital infrastructure, and growth systems.
