HOW IT WORKS
- We take SMALL TEAMS of talented marketers and creatives, and we match them up with a for-profit startup that has proven growth potential and a social mission at its core.
- Through a series of structured and facilitated workshops, we all work together on a LIVE BRIEF to solve a big business challenge for the startup.
- We break down the problem, challenge assumptions, agree a solution, create a rough prototype, test it, learn how it can be improved, and build OPEN AND SUPPORTIVE working relationships along the way.
WHAT WE OFFER

- Top-class FACILITATION AND SUBJECT EXPERTISE delivered by a team that's worked in corporates, creative agencies and startups, and knows the challenges and pressures of each.
- Highly-personalised COACHING AND SUPPORT to ensure everything participants learn during the programme sticks and can be applied back at work.
