The Brand Lab
What we do
We examine the unique elements of individual brands – from their competition, to their DNA, to their backstory – and comb through everything that sets them apart.
A carefully balanced combination of these elements comes together to make powerful brand chemistry, ensuring that customers will organically gravitate to these brands.
This is achieved using a combination of strategy, the creation of a visual and textual identity and communication with customers, sparking the right reaction and helping brands expand and evolve.

Our Story
From free bonds to more fixed structure
- 2018 Elements

The studio is the brainchild of designer Jan Kolář and his desire to do things in a meaningful, honest, and uncompromising way. This inspired him to found the Molekula brand, which brought together a diverse ensemble of independent communication professionals, from copywriters, to designers, to strategists.
Jan was already well-acquainted with his team, having spent many years working in advertising, and knew that the vast majority shared in his vision for a small but thriving boutique studio, capable of delivering world-class work.

The studio did not have a fixed structure, but instead changed in size based on the specific needs of each project, which posed a tremendous advantage especially for clients. This meant clients did not have to pay a ridiculous army of people whose familiarity with the project amounted to erasing the whiteboard after the creative department’s kick-off meeting.
In the five years that Molekula existed in this form, lifestyle brands such as Display Me, tech brands in the likes of Iseco, Datera and Eywo, and everyone’s favourite Amazing Places all came to be. They all have a common denominator – uncompromising quality in the form of timeless design and a carefully crafted, fully fleshed-out identity built on a solid foundation and not just for show.

At the end of 2024, Molekula became an independent branding studio, retaining all of what propelled the studio into success in the first place. Projects are still being carried out by carefully selected teams of specialists. However, this new structure helps the studio to grow and hone its expertise, allowing it to exclusively deliver top-notch work.
The core of our operations has moved into a shared space where most of our work on new brands runs seamlessly, barring the occasional explosion during idea-sharing experiments. But that’s life in the creative world. The reactions that are sparked are always beneficial – both for us and for our clients. They help form the right kinds of connections and allow for your brand and ours to continue to grow.
