We help teams reconnect with creativity
We foster curiosity and agility to unlock ideas with demonstrable impact.
We are thinkers, doers and enablers
We're not a consultancy. We're not an agency.
We're a partnership of advisors, researchers, tech consultants, AI trainers, artists, educators - even an improv comedian.
We get stuck in, united by a passion for unlocking creativity and proving that anyone can innovate.
We are led by Tom Parson.
Creative entrepreneur, coach and former agency owner. Nobody else in Greater Manchester has Tom's unique experience:
- Nurturing - 5 years as an educator and workshop facilitator with a passion for inclusivity.
- Commercial - 10 years as agency director and hands-on strategic leader.
- Technical - 20 years building digital products, masters-qualified in UX research.
- Creative - Philosophy graduate and 25 years as a musician and performer.
