15 programmes.
One partnership.
The partnership spans the full spectrum of modern creative work — but that's just the start. Beyond the disciplines you'd expect, we've built signature programmes designed to solve the problems agencies can't, or won't.
Programmes built around real problems.
These aren't line items on a rate card. They're programmes built around the real problems businesses bring us — problems that don't fit neatly into a traditional agency scope. Each one is led by senior free-folk, cast for task, and designed to create outcomes, not outputs.
01
Special Projects
For the undefined problem
For when the problem — and the solution — aren't fully defined yet. You know there's a goal you need to hit, but you don't have all the pieces. That's where we come in — as a neutral partner, not to take over, but to enhance what you already have. We help you take the next big leap, with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
02
Fractional-Plus
Strategic leadership + execution
Strategic leadership meets seamless execution — all in one contract. Fractional-Plus connects strategic marketing and operational leads with supporting executional specialists, bundled into a single engagement. You get the leadership you need, backed by the delivery power you didn't know you could afford — all for the cost of one FTE.
03
Innovation Circuit-Breaker
Six-week reset
A six-week reset to unlock your next phase of growth. We embed in your organisation to diagnose what's holding you back, identify your highest-leverage opportunities, and create a clear roadmap forward. A cultural reset through doing — not just talking.
04
Brand Foundations
Strategy to execution
For brands that need to get their house in order before they can grow. Strategy, identity, messaging, and positioning — built as a system, not assembled from parts. The kind of foundation that makes everything after it easier.
05
Campaign Architecture
Integrated campaign thinking
End-to-end campaign development from insight to execution. Bespoke teams, cast for each campaign. Integrated thinking across channels. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. We believe in the right idea, executed brilliantly.
06
Digital Transformation
Technology meets creativity
Technology changes fast. The businesses that keep up are the ones that understand it creatively, not just technically. We bring both — helping you move from where you are to where the world is going, without losing what makes you worth following.
07
Free Ideas
Always-on ideation
A low-cost bolt-in that delivers business-changing ideas, 24/7. Free Ideas is a plug-in service that continuously generates ideas for your business — from product innovation to marketing concepts to operational improvements. Think of it as an always-on ideas department.
08
Idea Development
From rough to ready
Ideas aren't perfect when first expressed. We help you find the strength, the simplicity, the humanity — then build the path from rough concept to fully-formed proposition.
09
Idea Execution
World-class production
Ideas are only as good as their execution. We make them better. Film. Photography. Podcasting. Events. Traditional, digital, AI-driven, made-by-hand — whatever the brief asks for.
10
C-Suite Co-Piloting
Peer-level senior support
Peer-level support for senior leaders solving knotty problems. Sometimes what you need isn't more resource — it's a trusted partner. Our senior free-folk include CEOs, CSOs, CMOs, CFOs and more. We match you with someone who's been there.
11
Organisational Creativity
Creativity inside the business
Creativity, applied where it actually pays — inside the business. Most senior leaders don't hire for comms creativity; they hire for creative problem-solving. We work alongside your teams to find the real problem, then build the answer with you.
12
Culture Consulting
Internal meets external
Most internal cultures stop making sense the minute they meet the outside world. We work on both sides of that line — what the business is, what the world thinks it is, and what to do about the gap.
13
Purpose in Practice
Doing good, done well
Doing good is easy to say. Doing good well is the harder problem. Our team includes practitioners who've spent their careers on the harder problem — across sustainability, conservation, social justice, mental health, First Nations, NGO strategy.
14
Mentoring Factory
Supporting emerging talent
Real mentorship, not a programme. We match emerging talent with free-folk who want to give back — and then we get out of the way. The relationship is the thing.
15
New-Age Publishing
Say something worth hearing
Don't wait for production — start publishing now. Our team includes authors, journalists, filmmakers, podcasters, artists and more. We apply their expertise early — uncovering stories, seeing angles, and helping you say something worth hearing.
The full spectrum. Cast for task.
