Strathouse Logo

A strategy and planning Practice
designed for brands today.

SCROLL

The world of communications is moving at pace. The impact on brands and the ways in which they must operate is profound

The old agency model, as it has previously been organized, cannot always meet those new needs and imperatives.

This is why Strat House exists. It is a strategy and planning Practice designed for brands today.

Brands

ADIDAS

Strat House has been working with adidas, Europe's largest clothing brand, since the foundation of the Practice.

WPP

Strat House is proud to provide services to WPP, the world's largest advertising company.

Unilever

The Strat House team has a longstanding working relationship with Unilever, one of the oldest and still most forward-looking multinational companies.

adidas is committed to the pursuit of consumer-centricity. The vision is for all consumers to experience contextual adidas moments that feel like part of an on-going story. The Strat House team has worked at the core of adidas for the last three years to create the frameworks, learning loops and rules for content planning and creation.

Back to clients

For WPP, Strat House provides flexible part and full-time teams that can be ‘switched’ on and off as needed: accommodating shifts in both briefs and deadlines.

Back to clients

In 2019 Unilever confirmed its continued commitment to purpose-driven brands. For the last three years the Strat House team has worked in partnership with the senior leadership team of Dove, and on the development of start-up Personal Care brands, to decode what it means to deliver on your brand Purpose in a multi-channel world.

Our
Approach

WE ARE A PRACTICE

As a Practice we identify and apply solutions. We are not an Agency, or a Consultancy. We make certain that everything we produce can be practically applied and that we arm clients with the tools to do this.

We are transformative not transactional

We relish transformative challenges: equipping brands and brand teams for the future. We’re at our best when we’re able to work collaboratively and in partnership.

We are external, but integrated

Brand teams and agencies are necessarily lean today: there is no one ‘on the bench’ waiting to solve challenges. To meet this gap Strat House provides access to talent on demand – not as freelance FTEs.

Our impact is positive and clear to see

We make certain we provide clients with blueprints and tools they need to ensure success for their brands. We call this Active Planning. We’ll share our approach when we meet.
