ideas people want in on
The creative studio that helps organisations hungry for what’s next, create ideas people get behind.
Office Party is the nimble creative problem-solving studio for stretched marketers who need to shift people’s attitudes or action — and get their organisation behind the thinking. We get inside your business and align your people to create ideas your audience want to be part of.
WE work with you, not for you.
Maybe your message isn't landing. Your audience doesn’t give a toss. Your timelines are cooked. Your brand needs CPR. The budget is under fire. Your people don’t feel seen. Or everyone inside the business likes to ‘agree to disagree’ on the issue.
Meanwhile, you're the one expected to make something happen. You don't need big agency complexity or worse, ego.
You need a partner who finds a way forward and
helps you bring everyone along.
A partner like us.
how we
party
Spending time in your office so that we can dig for the real gold. The best insights, problems and leverage can be found right inside your business. That means sitting in with you, side chats and shouting coffees.
Sitting down with all parts of your business so that we can get the inside word on what’s going on. Rarely do creative people talk to client departments: the people at the operations coalface, those chatting with your customers, the people in charge of budgets. It means we’re in partnership from day dot.
Key stakeholders sign off on the strategic creative brief so that everyone feels like they’re seen, heard and on board with the approach. It means we’re all locking in momentum. Success loves speed.
The work we create is scored together, so that you and all stakeholders feel a part of the creative process. We use a scorecard based on the creative brief to work through the thinking and agree on the best solution.
