About Famdom

We don't start with brands. We start with families.

The philosophy

Family is not a category. Family is everything.

Categories tell us what things are. Family life changes what they mean.

Families are not simply another audience. They are the context in which products are chosen, services become routines, content becomes culture and brands acquire meaning. That is why we start inside family life and work outwards, never the other way around.

Founder

Famdom is new. The experience isn't.

Famdom was founded by Borja López-Niclós around a simple conviction: companies can only build meaningfully for families if they first understand how family life actually works.

That purpose runs through the company. It keeps us curious, constantly exploring, questioning assumptions and pushing the work further, because family life never stops changing.

The Founder

Borja López-Niclós is a strategist, creative and entrepreneur who has spent his career working at the intersection of families, culture, research, brands and entertainment. Before founding Famdom, he built and led specialist businesses focused on children, young people and families, working across research, strategy, creativity, content and media. Famdom brings that experience together around one ambition: to build the family-first company companies need.

The Famdom vision

The family-first company builder.

Famdom starts by helping companies understand families and build better things for them. But the ambition goes further: to create IP, build family-first products and companies, and back ideas capable of improving family life.

Questions, answered.

What is Famdom?
Famdom is the family-first company builder, founded by Borja López-Niclós. It starts inside family life and works outwards: understanding how families really live, choose and decide, then building the brands, products, campaigns, content and media that earn a place with them. The team combines research, strategy, creativity and media, with Kin as the operational intelligence that connects the work.
Where is Famdom based?
Famdom works from seven cities: London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Houston and Mexico City. Family life happens locally, so each city has people inside it, running fieldwork, conversations and projects in their own market. One connected company sits behind them, so what is learned in one home travels to every project.
What are Play, Build and Rise?
Play, Build and Rise are the next chapters of the Famdom vision beyond Discover, Create and Connect. Build creates family-first products, services and companies, and has just launched. Play is original family IP and entertainment. Rise is investment, partnerships and acceleration for ideas that can improve family life. Each is a way to explore a partnership with Famdom.
