We’re a compound marketing agency which provides fit-for-purpose, practical marketing strategy and tactical marketing support to innovative intrapreneurs, unlikely entrepreneurs, business mavericks, and corporate warriors working for the greater good – although we won’t say no to proudly progressive national brands (emphasis intended).
Say anthropologists, the bow and arrow represents one of humankind’s great cognitive leaps – a revolutionary technology first developed over 70 000 years ago, this compound tool allowed for more effective, safer hunting – and it could be carried out individually rather than in groups (think efficiency).
The invention of the bow and arrow represents what scientists have termed “if-and-then thinking” –if I attach an arrow to an elastic string, and release the tension, the arrow will soar.
Its invention profoundly changed human society; and unsurprisingly, the bow and arrow is a universal symbol across cultures, with depictions and descriptions of its real and imagined power appearing in cave paintings, classical mythology, religions, mediaeval folklore and tapestries, and now in contemporary art and popular culture (think of the TV series, Arrow).
To us, the bow and arrow represents the potential of creative thinking and the power of creative problem solving – creativity inherent in every ‘if-and-then thinking’ entrepreneur.
To these entrepreneurs we say: shoot your shot!

For lead marketing to work, there needs to be a solid offer, an understanding of product-market fit, audience appreciation, and good marketing infrastructure. We bridge the gap between expectations and reality with scaffolding that addresses shorter-term goals but, crucially, leads to established infrastructure and long-term growth.
Before you can successfully sell products, there must be a need or want (market) for them. We help you discover products, markets and audiences, how to solve consumer challenges and take products to market, build sound infrastructure and drive demand through audience education with compelling hooks.
To grow sustainably into a viable long-term proposition takes forethought and forward planning. We help you map out the journey, stake the territory, and build the brand assets and infrastructure needed to meaningfully connect with audiences and create communities which support strategic long-term growth.
