A collective of thinkers from across the globe
Our job is to help clients make decisions about what to do, or not do.
Brand is how every aspect of your business is delivered. A brand is a promise to change something in people’s lives, the story through which people understand why you exist, and most importantly - a navigational system. Brands should exist to help people make better choices, more easily, for themselves and for this world. Clear beliefs and continuous reinvention are what allow you to do that.
PERSPECTIVE MATTERS
Our team is tiny, but truly global.
"Our core team spans seven nationalities and ten languages. We’ve also built a network of trusted partners around the world, giving us nuance and depth in each region. Whether you want to do retail research in the Philippines, positioning in India, semiotics in Paris, or get Aussie reactions to brand tone of voice, we’ve got you covered wherever you’re growing or planning on going."
COLLABORATORS AT HEART
Embedding the strategy is part of our process.
You never just get a deck from us - bringing solutions into practice is a process, whether that looks like a living model, iterative research program, or a new brand book that all teams will start to use as a north star. We’ve sat at the pitch table, advised on briefs and campaign planning, helped find local partners, and occasionally partner with boutique creative studios to take on full-service projects.
female-led
Part of the 0.1% of strategy companies run by women.
We’re driving the change, and bringing empathy and lateral thinking to a traditionally masculine and linear discipline.
TRULY FLEXIBLE CULTURE
Balance, babies and conceptual blending
We grew up as our team members families grew! Inherently, our ways of working are built around life, not the other way around. We also believe the more you do OUTSIDE of “work”, the more neurons fire within. So whether it’s bouldering, boat reconstructions or building and running a communal daycare on your Fridays, bring it on.
