A Different Model
A special type of person
Our people believe that business can be a force for good.
And they work with us to make that happen.
Our people believe that business can be a force for good and they come to work to make that happen.
We forego industry standards and have created a different, award-winning model in our culture and employment model.
We surround ourselves with advisors who influence the shape of our business, and the work we do greatly.
We train a team of people we call 'collaborators' — well known experts in their fields whom we invest in as part of our extended team.
And we have a core team that in themselves are leaders — creative leaders.
Altogether, these people bring with them stories, values and experiences that are critical to solving problems, developing ideas and driving change within organisations.
Our people are strategists, designers, researchers, journalists, photographers and technologists.
Experts in human-centred design, leadership and innovation.
They're published authors, entrepreneurs, and experienced change specialists.
Bringing a breadth of expertise across our practice areas, and a broad world-view from outside of their working lives.
In our day-to-day we create a flat-culture where our teams are both autonomous and encouraged to own the work they work on.
We don't have juniors, mid-weights or seniors because we believe hierarchical nomencaltures aren't condusive to collaboration or innovation.
Our people are very much their own people – and we like that.
They're leaders — creative leaders.
Would you like to work with us?
We're a little unusual.
