Client: Circular Advisors - Business Advisory
Established a diagnostic framework to analyse a business' socio-economic impact
Challenge
Due to a global population expected to rise to 9.7 billion over the next 30 years, there is an increasing need to move from a linear (take-make-use-waste) economic model to a circular economic model, where the value of resources is fully utilised.
Solution
Circular Advisors, an early-stage consultancy business, aims to help SMEs transition from a traditional (linear) to a more sustainable business model in the sectors of agriculture/food, fashion, infrastructure, and tourism.
Result

Client: SPOTIFY - digital media
Developed a targeted market-entry strategy to establish Spotify as the go-to platform for audio streaming
Challenge
Audio streaming has rapidly become a mainstream habit for music consumption amongst Gen Z, Millennials, and the younger Generation X. It is, however, less common of a habit for some who fall outside of certain groups or generations, perhaps due to less exposure from a young age or difficulty in changing group behaviours. The challenge for Spotify was in adapting certain marketing and operation initiatives to better suit a particular audience.
Solution
Determining market strategies and product innovation to capture the attention of a particular audience, in order to position Spotify as a go-to platform for audio streaming.
