Thunk

Alongside you, and your teams, we create, improve, and reimagine digital products, and services. Sharing our design-led processes, and acting as digital innovation strategy consultants, we work in close collaboration with your company to get tangible results. We don’t just swoop in, disappear for six weeks, and return with the goods. This is a collaboration, and we’re here for you in the long-term (in a non-scary way).

We help organisations with the thinking they need to make progress especially when they’re stuck somewhere between BAU and the next big bet.

Thunk isn't full of consultants who drop a deck and disappear. We’re sleeves-rolled-up partners working side by side with organisations to get clarity, build momentum, and make meaningful change happen.

Often that means digital product design - creating, improving or rethinking the tools and services people actually use. Sometimes it’s upstream: aligning leadership, mapping opportunities, and getting people on board with a shared direction. Either way, we help make progress real.

Our best work happens with companies who’ve got plenty of ambition, but not enough capacity, capability, or headspace to move forward. Maybe the ideas are stuck in slides. Maybe they’ve tried innovation sprints that led nowhere. Maybe they’re being told to “do AI” but don’t know where to start.

That’s where we come in.

We’ve helped scaleups build new digital services, supported healthcare teams in crisis, and worked with enterprise organisations connect research with action.

If you’re under pressure to deliver change and not sure what’s getting in the way, let’s talk.
