About

The imagination company. Senior creatives, strategists and techies.

We help organisations create new forms of commercial and stakeholder value through creativity, communication, design, innovation and AI.

Not new, but old.

Why we got together

We got together because we believe in doing high quality work.

We focus on the industries and sub-industries rooted in bias, and help those with the ambition and appetite to think and do different.

Our leadership and our talent have worked with the likes of

Who we are

A hybrid of creatives, strategists and techies.

Teams of senior practitioners, armed with our own intellectual property and frameworks. We are also here to combat the new-age villain, AI slop: Teako Minerals used no generative AI for any of its content, the documentary included.

How we work

A team of twelve practitioners.

We do not sell time by the seat. You get the outcome from senior people, in one of two ways.

Two of five slots open for Q4

Project-based

A defined piece of work, delivered by us. A brief, a scope and a date, then a team of ours from the first workshop to the last file.

A pod you manage

From our experience we have the foresight to help you define your vision and strategy, then we provide a resource team, a pod, that you manage to see it through. Senior practitioners in your rhythm and on your tools, for as long as the vision needs them.

What we believe

Our mission

We believe in the consumerisation of investing.

Institutions and retail alike are analysts, fund managers and private investors, and every one of them uses, follows and cares about the story.

Our vision

An interactive, dynamic way to do due diligence.

The right information, powered by AI, informed through socials, and a digital experience and multimedia on par with what investors expect as consumers.

  1. 01Think bold, be ambitious.The work should move a company, not decorate it.
  2. 02Logic and gut, both.Sometimes we feel inspired, and we go with our subjectivity.
  3. 03The human experience, seen whole.Solving something in isolation is not the way.
  4. 04Craft and quality.Whether that is branding, communications, digital experiences, multimedia or storytelling.
  5. 05At speed.Speed of transformation, and of getting the work out. The clock matters as much as the craft.
  6. 06Put it out there.Too much great work never sees the light of day, and we do not believe in that.

In their words

WAO helped us turn Teako's story into something people can actually see and understand.
Sven GollanChief Executive Officer, Teako Minerals
They weren't chasing awards, applause, or creative industry ego. They were focused on one thing: taking us, and twenty years of hard-earned credibility, to the next level.
Sean TuffordChief Executive, Tufford Group
The design work was incredible, the process was seamless, and our entire team at HealthspanMD gave a unanimous ‘yes’ to moving forward together!
Rielyn HoffmanMarketing Manager, HealthspanMD
The result is a brand and digital platform that reflects the quality, ambition, direction and value proposition of the company far better than before.
Mark SteeltoftDirector, VP Corporate Development, Teako Minerals
Most of this industry feels like the worst part of a hospital, and WAO gave us a brand people actually feel something about.
Liam MarshManaging Director, MUZO Health
Outliers delivered a web experience that breaks away from the norm. The result not only sets our project apart but also truly engages the next generation of retail investors through digital.
Michael BennettChief Executive Officer, Altamira Gold
Not only have they shown Teako's business strategy and its merits, they have highlighted the amazing potential in Norway as an exploration space, in a way I have not yet seen in this industry.
FreddyVP Exploration, Teako Minerals
Sharpening the proposition and the words I use helped me close more clients. It totally helped my business development process.
San BArtist, Art By San B
We never had to brief three agencies and stitch the work together: the brand, the product and the launch all came out of one room.
