Karla Otto is a global brand-building and communications agency specializing in fashion, design, beauty, lifestyle, arts, and culture, founded in 1982 by the German-born publicist Karla Otto. The agency began in Milan, where its founder helped international careers of designers including Jean Paul Gaultier, Prada, Marni, and Jil Sander, and grew into one of the most influential communications firms in the luxury industry.

The agency offers a full suite of services covering media relations, digital strategy, event management, VIP and celebrity services, and content creation, helping luxury houses build and maintain brand presence worldwide. Its client roster has included maisons such as Celine, Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Simone Rocha alongside beauty, design, and lifestyle brands, with more than 70 brands represented.

Karla Otto operates a network of offices across roughly a dozen cities, including New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan, Munich, Dubai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Seoul, giving clients coordinated communications support in every major luxury market.

Since 2017 the agency has been part of The Independents, the international group of marketing and communications companies serving luxury and lifestyle clients, formed through the merger of Karla Otto with Asia-based events company K2. Client engagement is by direct contact through the agency.
