FOUNDERS / LEADERS
Emotions drive 90% of our decisions. So let’s work fast to craft a creative, cultural, and commercial vision for your business, brand, or product that belongs strong in the soul of your audience. We’ll define your positioning, business model, audiences and more. Shape your brand identity and how people experience and feel it. And make your idea’s commercial potential impossible to resist. Let’s make it all so pulse-quickening, it turns potential customers, employees, and investors into your most ardent fans, partners, and shareholders.
ARTISTS (OF ALL TYPES)
Let’s work together to develop your artistic idea(s) into a comprehensive vision, one that not only helps you to refine your thinking but reveals the true integrity, potency, and potential of your vision for collaborators, partners, or investors.

My 30 years of experience across different shaped projects and industries gives me a unique, unexpected take on the world. From story development to formats, big brand ideas to platforms, business to product concepts, event ideas to merch, I’m your Swiss Army Knife creative collaborator, sharp as a blade, useful as teeny scissors.

I work in either a retained advisory capacity for a set number of days per month, or plug into a specific problem or opportunity to provide fresh perspective and energy. Mine is an informed generalist’s point of view - creative, strategic, intuitive, people-focused, culturally attuned, always hopeful, always kind, full of the wisdom acquired from doing.
It takes a village

I have a diverse brain trust of co-pilots and compadres.
Experts from the worlds of entertainment & media, art & design, science & innovation, brand & advertising, democracy & social impact, health & spirituality, lifestyle & events, research & academia, investing & entrepreneurship.
I draw on their wisdom in everything I do.
Sometimes informally.
Sometimes formally, by building a village around your problem (if required.)

“Andy moves through the world with a wonderfully calm and welcoming demeanor, he’s 100% jargon free and more than anything he cares deeply for the work he does and the people he does it for. It’s been such a joy to work with him on our recent re-positioning. He has the kind of mind that connects the most un-suspecting references to create entirely new ideas that propel you forward into new spaces you previously would never have imagined. We are already looking forward to our next collaboration. Thank you Andy!”

“I love working with Andy. 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 brims with ideas, 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.”
