A complete view of your cultural ambitions.
Cultural work rarely fits neatly into one category. A strategic question may lead to a new partnership, a philanthropic idea may become a foundation, and a collection may raise questions of access, responsibility and legacy.
We work across these connections, bringing together the advice, knowledge and relationships needed to move an idea forward and make it last.
Setting the direction
We help clients turn broad ambitions into clear priorities and practical plans.
This can include cultural strategy, organisational planning, international development, leadership advice, governance, revenue development and placemaking. The aim is not simply to produce a strategy, but to establish what matters, what is possible and what should happen next.
Cultural InstitutionsBuilding the support
We help cultural ideas attract the understanding, relationships and financial support they need.
Our work spans philanthropic and fundraising strategy, capital campaigns, foundations, patron programmes, corporate sponsorship and revenue diversification. We shape the proposition, identify the right people and help build relationships that can be sustained over time.
Selected projectsCreating the right connections
We bring together people and organisations whose interests, ideas and values can lead to meaningful cultural work.
This may involve institutional partnerships, artist collaborations and commissions, international relationships, cultural programming or partnerships between the cultural and commercial worlds. We help define the purpose of the relationship and shape it into something credible for everyone involved.
Brands & HospitalityDeveloping collections and legacies
We advise individuals, families and businesses on the decisions that shape a collection over time.
From acquisitions and collection strategy to corporate collections, succession and legacy planning, we consider not only what to build, but how it will be cared for, shared and carried forward.
Private ClientsUnlocking new cultural experiences
We create private encounters with art, people and places, informed by the same knowledge and relationships that underpin our advisory work.
These may include bespoke itineraries, private visits, conversations with artists and experts, or carefully planned journeys around fairs, biennials and other major cultural events. Each is shaped around the interests, pace and perspective of the people taking part.
