KEY EXPERTISE

  • We make sense of how culture is shifting around your brand, and (re)imagine its unique role & value within that change - to ultimately drive resonance, distinctiveness & growth for the future

    Example briefs:

    • our brand has always been about aspirational femininity, but today we’re losing ground - how might we evolve to regain relevance?

    • our proposition is centred on productivity - but how might we convince on this idea when the value of work is being questioned around the world?

    • we’re on a mission to tackle urban loneliness - how might we resolve this tension in a way that resonates across cultures?

  • We guide & inspire comms, creative & design that’s culturally vibrant & meaningful - to bridge global strategy with local execution, and land your message effectively, authentically, compellingly

    Example briefs:

    • our global creative platform is centred on individuality & self-expression - how might we localise & land these ideas across markets?

    • we’re launching a functional ice cream product - how might we express health, wellness & indulgence on pack to a Gen Z audience?

    • we’re designing a luxury retail space - how might we ensure it speaks to changing wants, needs & expectations of luxury experience?

  • We drive future-facing innovation that interfaces with the direction of culture - to help brands to pre-empt changing needs, lead category change and sustain growth & market share

    Example briefs:

    • we’ve identified an opportunity in probiotic skincare - how might we execute against it for the next 5yrs?

    • we’re a tea brand looking to launch an RTD product - how might we inspire culturally resonant flavours & fragrances that are true to our brand?

    • our proposition is about driving creativity through tech - looking ahead, what’s the future of creativity & within that, the white space for tech & for our brand?
