We define where brands should go next, then depict how to get there.

But what do we mean by depicting?

We define where brands should go next, then depict how to get there.
But what do we mean by defining?

Think of definition as a boundary, a narrower remit in which to explore and focus. It’s a form of direction setting to investigate an avenue further. An innovation playground.

We wanted to understand how inclusive design is approached outside of product and packaging innovation, so we chatted with experienced architect Andrew Fifield on how buildings are designed for inclusion.

At Studio Every, we explored the idea of ‘overcoming the hurdle’ to online banking. As more and more services digitise, people who are less tech-savvy are getting left behind.

Everyday services are transforming, calling on new ways to carry out something that was once familiar and trusted.

We made a commitment when we started Studio Every, to give our time to two charities.

More specifically, two weeks, for two charities. Our pledge for 2023. For one month over the year, we would down tools for clients and focus our attention on new challenges for charity.

We caught up with Rogue Oat. A new oat milk brand, making waves in the alt-milk market. Unexpectedly, Rogue Oat is an idea that stems from a dairy farm. To the founders, plant-based eating couldn’t be ignored, and where the future of British farming fits into that story.

Strategic futures: turn a long-term goal into an actionable strategy.

What if a train station could embody a city’s spirit and values?
Imagine if a train station became a focal point for a city, rather than somewhere we simply pass through. Somewhere that can portray a city’s identity and make people feel connected to a place - not just be a venue that helps you move through a place.

Rebekah Lloyd chats to Kelly Dawson, about why she started This Independent Life, how she is empowering women, and why we need more collaboration to address the lack of support for endometriosis.

Is it the beginning of the end for physical packaging equity?

We visited Packaging Innovations at the NEC this year and attended some compelling talks by Dizzie, Innocent Drinks and the brand agency JDO.

Making post-caesarean care more wonderful
Imagine if we could re-address how we care for women approaching and recovering from a C-section. What if we could make things more considered, or even more wonderful? Rather than expecting them to continue in a typical post-partum pattern, why not acknowledge the extraordinary, and at times, unwanted circumstances they’ve been through?

We care about the ordinary products and services that are woven into everyday routines and patterns: they deserve to be extraordinary, for everyone!
