Big jumble of service thingies:
HOO did what now?
Meet the Oddities

Sachini Imbuldeniya
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Oddity
Welcome to House of Oddities: one of the 0.01% of agencies owned and run by a woman of colour – possibly the most depressing statistic in the our industry (aside from ‘87% of advertising is ignored’).
If you're reading this, then you're willing to embrace the weird. And I can promise you, that's a good place to be. Because if you don't want your branding messages to be ignored, you're clearly going to have to do them a different way.
That's what we do.
I originally worked in editorial – like the majority of the HOO team – which has been pretty useful. Not following the status quo means we’re free to break the rules. Why does it take 9 months and 100 people to make a 60 second TV ad? No idea. It shouldn’t. So we don’t.
In the newsroom you learn to work fast, to change as quickly as the news does, to set trends and start movements. We know how to demand attention from audiences, tickle their funny bones, and tingle their tingly bits.
We don't ask: 'what gets someone's attention?'.
We ask: 'what's worth someone's attention?'.
To make a difference, you need to think differently. And that’s what House of Oddities does. Welcome aboard.
