We are a trusted scientific and commercial engagement partner for high-stakes change.
We know the language of transformation is overused. ‘Change-readiness’, ‘agility’, ‘excellence’ – words that lose meaning when not backed by substance.
We create bold, meaningful experiences that people feel, remember and act on.
01
Boutique by design
We've built a hand-picked team of global experts. A boutique model means fewer layers, faster decisions and direct access to experienced practitioners.
02
Human intelligence
Human intelligence is core to our value proposition. Any use of AI which would dilute our thinking we avoid so you can trust if we are presenting it, we’ve thought about it deeply ourselves.
03
True partnership
Our senior team doesn't disappear after the pitch. The people shaping the strategy stay involved throughout the journey, allowing you to build trusted relationships with partners who stay close to the challenge and invested in the outcome.
04
Diversity of background
We are a winning team with cognitive diversity that sets us apart, challenging the status quo with original thinking, insight, creativity and thought leadership.
05
Unique and passionate
We are former scientists, filmmakers, playwrights, healthcare specialists, festival producers, artists and at least one baker. This breadth of experience allows us to approach challenges from multiple angles and create more engaging solutions.
06
Global
reach
With hubs in Switzerland, UK, Canada, and Singapore we comfortably cover EMEA, APAC and NA. Our multi-lingual and multi-cultural team means we can effectively work across regions to co-create engaging experiences for all audiences.
