submit a brief

A short note is better than a perfect one.

We read every brief and reply inside five working days. Two or three sentences on the problem is enough; the longer form is for later. We're reading for whether there's a real problem here, whether we're the right people for it, and whether you and we would work well together.

what we need

Your name, an email we can reply to, and two or three sentences on the problem. Everything else is optional. We read for the shape of the problem, not the polish of the brief.

a note on fit

We take two concurrent deep builds and a handful of annual partnerships. If our calendar is full when you write, we will say so in the reply and suggest a sensible next step, sometimes a wait, sometimes an introduction to another practice we trust. Either way you will hear from a person within five working days.
