About Us
We're a strategic consultancy for organizations trying to do better. Our methodology helps founders and leaders clarify who their organization genuinely is, then build the conditions where aligned people are naturally drawn closer. The result is clearer positioning, faster decisions, stronger culture and relationships that last.
After more than two decades and hundreds of projects, we've learned that your brand isn't what you declare, but what others recognize and choose. The strength of an organization isn't measured by what you say about yourself, but by who says it with you. Your employees, customers, partners and community.
The Company You Keep.

Our Team
Aligned with purpose
Our diverse portfolio of clients and projects has built our reputation for top-tier work and we’re supported by a select group of experts and partners who are all motivated by the same passion for creativity to drive positive change.
Our culture is built on our shared values, guiding who we work with, who we support and our strategic decision-making.
Our Values
Depth Over Breadth
We go deep with aligned clients rather than shallow with everyone. Impact requires sustained relationships and those take time and mutual investment.
Mission Before Craft
We refuse to spend client money on design that serves our portfolio instead of their purpose. Beautiful work should advance mission, not replace it.
Co-Creation, Not Prescription
We build solutions with clients, not for them. We facilitate discovery rather than deliver answers. The wisdom is already in the room.
Hard Truths, Kindly Delivered
We say what needs to be said, even when it's uncomfortable. Hard truths require earned trust, so we build relationships that can handle them.
