and out of curiosity comes everything.”

Meet us
Throughout my career, I've harnessed creativity to start a diverse range of projects: From running a production company for 12 years, producing advertising, documentaries, and social content for clients like the British Museum, lastminute.com & Marks & Spencer; to co-founding a garden delivery business during the first four days of lockdown. Recently I am working in radio, producing a show for BBC Radio 4 and developed podcasts in health, culture and our show the Firehouse Salon.
I’ve often thought that my ability to turn ideas into action was an affliction, I now know it’s something others find hard. I look forward to making it easy and working with you to make great ideas happen.
Ashley Pollak
My entrepreneurial journey began with co-founding one of East London's first yoga studios, which grew from a single location into a thriving business with multiple studios and global retreats. This venture built upon my experience in creative roles in production & casting,.
Over the past twenty years, I've collaborated with brands like Jimmy Choo, Folk Social, Vetsak, driven by my curiosity about how things work. When asked what I do… simply, “I make shit happen" – whether that's scaling a wellness business, executing high-end production, or helping others bring their creative visions to life.

How we’ll work together
We solve complex business challenges by combining unexpected perspectives with rigorous methodology to deliver practical, innovative solutions.
Deep Discovery
We begin by immersing ourselves in your world - reviewing business plans, research, and creative assets. We explore deeply to understand your audience's fundamental behaviors and motivations. Inspired by our patron saint Howard Luck Gossage, we believe in audience-first thinking that leads to iconoclastic yet obvious solutions.
Define & Challenge
Through focused discussion and debate, we critically examine assumptions and opportunities. We apply both creative and analytical lenses, challenging conventional thinking to identify what really matters. This isn't just feedback - it's about finding the core truth that will drive meaningful change.
Engineer Solutions
We move from insight to action through structured experimentation.. We prototype, iterate and test ideas with you that have real potential for impact.
Build Momentum
We help you form an action framework - a clear, organised plan of what you’re going to do next. It will be a valuable, evolving structure to refer back to as you progress with your ideas. We can help create a knowledge base with claude.ai to supercharge your next steps.
Execution & Delivery
We curate and oversee the right creative partners from our trusted network to bring your solution to life. As Exec Producers we oversee quality while connecting you with the best talent in video, audio, copywriting, design.
Sustain & Scale
Regular check-ins ensure momentum while allowing for course correction. We help you build internal capability so success becomes repeatable rather than relying on "lightning in a bottle" moments.
