out of the box thinking for thinking out of the box

what's your problem, huh?

(no seriously, what's your problem?)

If you are on this site, then chances are you have one. Or two. Or more. And if you are here, then for some reason the normal ways of solving things just aren't working right now.

Perhaps its time to look at things differently.

Well, to be more precise, perhaps its time to get someone to look at things differently with you.

we hate boxes

(even more than the delivery guy does)

When it comes to problem solving, idea generation, brainstorming and general creative processing - boxes are not your friend. Nor are they ours. We take out of the box thinking to a new level, bringing left-of-field perspectives, posing new questions and driving new solutions.

you are a genius

(well, you or someone in your team)

You may already have the answer. In fact, it is very likely that you or someone in your team has figured this all out already. You might not be aware of this yet however and the answer lies dormant, ready to be brought to the fore with the right combination of suggestions, questions and creative conversations.

so what's going wrong?

surely you can work this out, right?

Well, maybe not. At least not as things stand currently. Even the best minds can be unaware of their potential, just as the most important voices can be muted by fear of repercussions for speaking up or proposing non-conventional suggestions.

how we
can help

ideas

(lots of ideas)

They say some of the best ideas start on napkins. This may be true, but when inspiration is waning, great ideas come from brainstorming, in-depth analysis, creative thinking, challenging conversations and generally throwing it all at the wall to see what sticks.

So let's do it. You bring the donuts, we'll bring the coffee (and the napkins).

problem solving

(it's time for a 'eureka!' moment)

Problems, we love them. Well, solving them anyway. If you have a problem that needs some high intensity TLC then we are ready for road. We bring logic-based analysis and creative left-of-field thinking to the discussion to help you find alternative solutions and discover new approaches.

tree shaking

(shake it like a Polaroid picture, as they say in tree circles)

Is it all feeling a little 'samey' at the moment? Are you looking to up the ante a little and see what more can be done? Perhaps its time to get some new conversations going, bring a few new ideas to the table and see if there is more to this than meets the eye. Let's ask awkward questions, suggest crazy solutions and throw a few curveballs out there to get the show back on the road.

soundboard

(use your words people)

Feedback is awesome, just ask any lead guitarist. Whether positive or negative, as long as its constructive, feedback is vital. Got a new idea or thinking about a new direction? Excellent, we can provide an external viewpoint with different points of reference to talk it through with you before you progress further.

couples counselling

(of a sort)

So you and your projects haven't been doing so well recently. You started out so enthusiastically together but now it feels like the magic is gone. You're not sure if they still feel the same way but you want to make it work. Perhaps you just need to talk it out with someone who will actually listen and, if you want, help you look at ways to move forwards together.

(Or, perhaps you just need to stop talking about projects like you are dating them. It's a little weird.)

alternative perspectives

(let's take a look around)

Opinions, everyone has one. The same is true for perspectives. For every negative viewpoint on your situation there is undoubtedly another that is positive (and vice versa). If you need new solutions, a change in perspective can be the best place to start. Our diverse backgrounds, both corporate and entrepreneur, give us an excellent vantage point to survey your business landscape and provide balanced, inciteful and of course, different perspectives.

a second opinion

(psssst, what's the answer to question C?)

So you understand the challenge, know what needs to be done and have it all figured out. Right? Well, perhaps. If things aren't working out as planned but you have the answers perhaps you need someone to check your math (like, is 42 really the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything?).

it's your party

(and you can cry if you want to)

Our time is yours. It's for you to decide how you want to use our resources. We can talk, shout, plan, hypothesize, strategize, dance (excellently), listen, listen more, meet, greet, doodle, graph and if you really want to, work on Excel spreadsheets (very optional).

Us.

(creative) logic

call us artistic analyists

We believe in facts and figures but also understand the potential of a sketch on a napkin that turns out to be the next big thing. We use data, research, and analysis to form the foundation of our thinking and then build creatively upon it, throwing paint at the canvas and looking for those details and ideas that bring the whole picture together.

a question of balance

experience meets expression

Our backgrounds are diverse. Really diverse. Remember the time your sister introduced her new boyfriend the punk rock bass player? That was us. Only before the gig, we were working in marketing strategy, branding, social media, advertising, design, media planning, web development and other such duties becoming of any self-respecting member of the bass playing community.

a worthy challenger

(let's go toe to toe and work this out)

Good news - we are not within your company structure, don't rely on you for our Christmas bonus and don't shy away from breaking bad news. That puts us in an excellent position to be honest. Really honest. Like when your best friend tells you that your favourite yellow jacket with matching bandana might not be the best thing to wear on that first date.

guerilla tactics anyone?

I have an excellent product but limited finances and it is proving to be a serious pain in the membrane to get noticed by my certainly-to-be client base.

let my people run free

I run a team of rather wonderful people but I just need something left of field to get the team moving in new creative directions.

meowwwww

I have a cat that will simply not stop following me into the office and my colleagues are getting weirded out.

clusterf*ck

We are in the middle of our app development but for some reason the UX lead can't seem to communicate with the content team / creative department / client-side project manager / (fill in usual suspects here), the PR launch strategy is miles off and the we still can't get out of beta. Oh, and our primary investor has no idea what beta means.

major league pitcher

I need some ideas for this presentation, like, yesterday.

i'm like a big deal around here

We need to be cool (that's still a thing right?). Or at the very least for our target audience to find that our fledgling sub-brand is cool. We have the team, we have the offering, we just need to get our game together on branding and overall message.

let's level up

I don't want to sell out! But my hand-built business is under serious pressure to succumb to the will of a new potential investor. I've got to think of options and ideas to grow while staying true to my principles.

stop telling me what to wear

We want to re-brand but we don't want yet another design agency pitching another 40 page proposal of how they think they are the perfect fit for our business and mysteriously seem to know how we should present ourselves after precisely 0 minutes spent working with us. We want to get the core foundation of our communications correct and solve this issue with someone working with us.
