about
We specialize in organizational intent.
INTENT: A clear and potent ambition that guides culture, brand and product. More than a clear goal and a strategic plan, it’s a desire to leave a mark of distinction upon the world through specific impact.
Organizational intent is the most powerful tool in business. It separates companies with strong growth, focused products and strong culture. Everybody knows what to do, why, and how. Issues with products, campaigns, and internal culture, often stem from and are exacerbated by a lack of clarity in direction starting from the top.
Clear intent is difficult to create once, and especially difficult to re-create in a mature organization. Most companies, even if they had powerful intent at one time, struggle to recreate or refine their vision after either growing or accomplishing V1. The original vision, processes and culture that made it thrive can either become organizational debt, or evolved and re-aligned.
When an organization has clear intention:
• Everyone works in the innovation department.
• Everyone can tell you what the mission of the company is and it’s unique beliefs.
• Consumers repeat the story of your brand or company to others, happily.
• Product portfolios are tight, with the values and beliefs of the company clearly
showing in every iteration and contributing back to brand value.
• You need far fewer consultants like us.

Our Services
BRAND STRATEGY: ALIGNING BRAND & BUSINESS INTENT
Build or clarify the strategic language that aligns brand, business, and culture using a combination of discovery and research, workshops, and collaborative creation. Teams with a clear mission/vision/brand/product/business strategy are more effective, and most companies are not telling a clear story about the strategy of their business and how everyone should participate. Outputs include brand books, mission vision work and clear summaries of what the business/brand is in summary.
PRODUCT VISION/INNOVATION
We love to help teams flesh out the entirety of a product vision into a high-level roadmap of experience goals, features, and futures. We help identify and exploit opportunities to capitalize on internal assets to create new markets, products, or services at speed. We’ll help you quickly build plans and pilot programs for new products at speed.
GO-TO-MARKET PLANS AND AUDITS
Do you feel your go-to-market strategy could better align with your business needs? From startups to large-scale businesses, we can help quickly align business/consumer/budget realities into a smarter and more focused go-to-market plan. We help teams workshop scenarios, build hypotheses, and eliminate options to build focus.
