We put equity at the heart of brand identity.

We create brand strategy that drives social justice. By focusing on equity, anti-oppression and anti-racism, we help you turn your values into real impact.

The problem

Traditional diversity and inclusion approaches aren’t working.

Here's the harsh reality: Many brands contribute to unfair practices that support oppressive systems. If this keeps going unchecked, even with lots of DEI policies, there's no way to achieve social justice.

Is there another way?

When you build anti-racism and anti-oppression – and you need both! - into your brand strategy, it becomes part of what your organisation stands for. By becoming a learning organisation and investing in equity for the long term, you can truly deliver on your mission.

How We Help

We use simple tools and stakeholder insights to inform our approach and help you embed an anti-oppression mindset into a workable brand framework.

Our work covers three main areas:

OUR PROCESS

Audit

Every project starts with a thorough review of your brand’s ecosystem, a review of your channels, your team, your partners and your processes. We’ll also help you listen to and learn from the lived experiences of your audiences.

OUR PROCESS

Explore

We work with you to explore and understand your challenges and opportunities. We love to workshop and know that the best ideas come from internal insight, external inspiration, and expert facilitation.

Create

We create principles for anti-racist, inclusive and accessible communications to underpin all brand output. For seemingly complex topics, we like to keep our toolkits simple and easy to work with.

Evaluate

Together, we'll develop clear measures of progress and impact so you can easily identify what's working and what needs to change. Remember, your anti-racism journey won’t be linear. Committing to regular reviews, reflection, and improvement makes sure you stay accountable.
