Hello I’m Stuart.

I’m an independent insight and inspiration specialist focusing on brand strategy, innovation and uncovering really fresh and original consumer ideas that will challenge your thinking.

I’ve had senior client-side roles, I’ve run a couple of successful insight agency businesses and I’ve won some industry awards along the way.

I do three things…

I create or join small collectives of senior specialists to solve clients’ problems using research, design thinking, workshopping and customer immersion.

I am also a partner in Future Studio - a small strategy consultancy that provides an alternative to the conventional agency.

I work with agency or client teams to develop their knowledge, skills and approaches - with a particular focus on strategic thinking, storytelling, inspiring outputs and uncovering great insights.

I also work as a freelancer, using my experience to solve problems, to moderate tricky groups, or to lead analysis and delivery.

I often get involved in brand strategy, innovation, concept development and target audience understanding, or projects focusing on media and technology.

 
 

Here’s a bit about who I am, what I’ve done and what I believe.
