We want to see a world where business is a force for good – not just because we’re optimists, but because it’s good economically, socially and environmentally.
Hi! We’re Melissa & Adam.
We’ve been innovating and creating together since 2008.
Want to unlock the real power of your brand and harness innovation to drive positive changes? If you're for profit, people and planet, then we're for you.
We believe solid foundations mixed with a curious mindset and a systems approach are the perfect combination for creating the value the world needs.

“Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two – and only two – basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs.”
- Peter Drucker, The Practice of Management, 1954

Brand-Led Business transformed us from a non-marketing business to a marketing one. In itself, this sounds unremarkable, but the move in our thinking about ourselves, our customers and prospective customers most certainly was.
Folks just like you have said some pretty great things about working with us.
We now approach every customer as an opportunity to promote ourselves as people that do a great job, which means we want references from everybody. This has resulted in such a customer focus, that it has meant we have picked up our game considerably.
And the result? ... a HUGE increase in sales, enquiries and reputation. And it was all due to Mel's logical, concise and helpful guidance in terms of determining who we are and what we do, all the way through to regular marketing via email campaigns, LinkedIN articles, website SEO and other social media posts.
Marketing is now part of the fabric of our business.
We couldn't have done this without Mel, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to pick up their game and grow their business.
