Do Gooding

 

I care a lot about making people’s lives better and believe in entertaining, rigorous and unconventional ways to do it. With that in mind, alongside project work, I’m a partner in Uncertainty Experts, an interactive documentary series helping people turn uncertainty into opportunity, created by Sam Conniff and developed with Netflix and UCL. And AnswersAreOutThere, supporting the Global Citizens’ Assembly movement and applying its methodologies to businesses and organisations to drive positive change, improve culture and unlock the power of diversity.

What people are saying

  • "Brilliant mind, massive heart and seriously networked is what makes Andy an incredible asset for any project, especially as he combines all of that with a very grounded finger on the pulse of the emergent, and a truly gifted and ethical sense of style and story."

    Tom Fortes Mayer - Creator, Unleashed, Author FreeMind, World-renowned ‘stop self-sabotage’ Specialist

  • “There is no one better at forming a unified meaningful story out of art, insight or ideas. Andy is coherence, with a wicked sense of humour.”

    Sam Conniff - Uncertainty Experts, Be More Pirate, Livity, Digify Africa, Don’t Panic

  • “Andy combines intellectual and strategic rigour with creativity to come up with unconventional solutions to business problems, using culture as the delivery mechanism.”

    David Kolbuzs - CCO Orchard, ex-CCO Droga5 London

  • “Andy is a brilliant creative collaborator. He’s empathetic and patient with artists and can get the best out of them. Also he knows a shit tonne of people who trust and like him across many different fields. That’s useful. His frames of reference are ridiculously broad.”

    Marc Picken - Founder, West Management (Young Fathers, Richard Russell, Massive Attack, Soulwax, etc.)

  • “Andy is a breath of fresh air. He is one of those unicorn thinkers who blends the strategic and creative brain in such a refreshing way. He always brings something different to the mix and challenges us to think more broadly about the cultural context in which our thinking operates”

    Hannah Debenham - COO, BeenThereDoneThat

  • “Andy brims with ideas. He has a great sense of how film development and production works but he’s interested in the wider context and pushing the envelope. That said there’s also a simplicity to what he can do too - he’s got a nose and appetite for good story and writes very well. He’s also brilliant with people, can spot talent and has great taste.”

    Amanda Boyle - Filmmaker, Chloe, Skins, Misfits, Cast-Offs, etc.

  • “Andy is always trying to expose himself to new ways of thinking and seeing. As a black woman, I have always found him, a white male creative leader, one of the easiest people to speak to because he engages in balanced conversation. He does not patronise or intimidate, talk down or grandstand, this is one of the most essential qualities most companies are lacking at a senior level.”

    Remi Adjani - Artist & Entrepreneur

  • “Andy is one of the all time great people. An incredible creator of worlds and stories with a truly original perspective on the world.”

    Katherine Templar-Lewis - Co-Founder Kinda Studios, Neuroaesthetics Expert

  • “Andy operates in rare air, readily switching from a super insightful and deeply appreciative understanding of culture whilst being able to eloquently express and package his wisdom into entertaining findings. But best of all he does this in an inclusive fashion shepherding conversation and collaboration to profound outcomes collectively, along with being an amazing human being in the process.”

    Stu Harkness - Co-Founder GentleForces

  • “Andy is part creative, part strategist and part EP, in the film & TV sense of the word. He has compassion in spades and is 100% translator. Through empathy and insight, he has the ability to translate between genders, backgrounds, cultures, hierarchies, disciplines and industries. A rare and hugely necessary skill in today’s world.”

    Chaka Sobhani - CCO Leo Burnett

  • "Andy Orrick is a brilliant and incredibly well read, strategic creative visionary. He has helped define Adoreum’s values and created a totally on point description of the business and its mission statement And importantly he is a calm, considered and compassionate human being loved and respected by team members and clients."

    Marcus Watson - Founder, Adoreum

  • “A genuinely out of the box thinker.”
