Hello I’m Stuart.

I’m an independent insight, innovation and inspiration specialist with lots of experience.

I’ve had senior client-side roles, I’ve run a couple of successful 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 a partner in Future Studio - a happy family of experienced insight, strategy and innovation specialists 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, inspiring outputs and uncovering great insights.

I have also worked with Future Studio to develop STOP START: a series of techniques and tools to help insight and strategy teams rethink how they work.

Agencies hire me to run projects or workshops anywhere in the world, to use my experience to solve problems, to moderate tricky groups, or to lead analysis and delivery.

I often get involved in innovation, concept development, creative 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.
