What can Greek history teach us about the sports of tomorrow? As beauty ideals morph, how do legacy brands keep up? What does it mean to feel a sense of ownership today? With a generation of renters-not-buyers, how should appliance makers adapt? Are hit shows the perfect overlap between culture and consumerism? Where do $1bn ideas come from? How are teens affected by misinformation today compared to prior generations? We seek the truths that unlock growth. Are our changing ideals of luxury driving us to like ugly cars? How can we help corporate venture groups reverse engineer the next success? How do fandoms become cultural marketplaces? When do our mouths betray our minds and why have we gotten so bad at brushing our teeth? What's truly behind why some patients don't follow treatment-as-prescribed?

We seek the truths that unlock growth.

Discovering the truth is foundational. It unites teams, sharpens focus, and empowers strategic execution. A shared understanding supercharges an organization, enabling it to outmaneuver competitors. In today's world, talent and technology are abundant; clarity is scarce.

We believe truth requires insight, bravery, and honesty. These qualities, deeply rooted in our Finnish heritage, guide our approach. We delve deep, challenge assumptions, and communicate with precision.

Social science & strategy

The most powerful strategies don’t just react to the present—they shape behavior at scale by drawing from the truths of culture, emerging technology, and the social fabric of our lives. We specialize in discerning and articulating opportunities before they emerge into plain view.

This work demands an exceptional synthesis of minds. Our teams bring together social scientists and strategy consultants to craft nuanced theories of growth—grounded in contextual evidence and guided by a pragmatic understanding of value. We imagine and help realize the worlds that could be, not just the ones that are.

We are academics, historians, scientists, management consultants, journalists, authors, strategists—truth-seekers united by curiosity and conviction.

Supercharge your teams

We don’t replace the work of internal teams, but rather we supercharge them with hard to uncover insights, clearly articulated opportunities, and detailed analysis of where to prioritize bets. We empower cross-functional teams to collaborate, un-silo and connect throughout their organization.

We have built an end-to-end approach that provides insight, clarity, imagination and tangible action.
