andCulture is a creative catalyst. We help startups and upstarts create breakthroughs in medium, message and culture.

Breaking that down a little, "startups and upstarts" is more than a cute turn of phrase. It's meant to capture the spirit of people—both clients and others we aspire to work with—who are not satisfied with the status quo. They are bold enough to challenge assumptions, take calculated risks and push hard for ideas they believe in. Some of these people are well-funded entrepreneurs and others operate as factions within big corporate brands.

We, and they, are looking to make a monumental shift to better align with customers, markets and opportunities. We strive to help them make quantum leaps, whether at the organizational level, in their business model, for a service offering or within a product design. We've worked with these people and the outcomes have been rewarding all around.

How We Do It

How we do it graphic For more than a decade, we have been in constant pursuit of the cutting edge in design, user experience and functionality. We've built a company committed to making the creative and development processes as valuable as the deliverables. To do this, we work openly and collaboratively with our clients to create better ways of communicating and doing business.

For some time now, we've also been preaching the virtues of alignment, relevancy and authenticity and we're excited to see more momentum around this mantra. Companies are starting to understand that their customer culture matters—a lot.

Developing strategies to reach deep into a culture requires a broad knowledge base and diverse skill sets, along with a lifestyle of learning and a craving for new experiences. You have to be part participant and part observer. Today's landscape changes as quickly as the tastes of the cultures that comprise it and the technologies that deliver it.

andCulture's ability to break through is fueled by the energy generated by a wide range of clashing perspectives. With a team of technologists, anthropologists, designers, strategists, programmers and writers (and some interesting outliers), we believe our unique DNA is the catalyst for breakout thinking and results.

Consultancies

Sometimes, people have a hard time grasping exactly what it is that we do. We don't fit neatly into a bucket like a typical design firm or ad agency or software shop. To help put a stake in the ground around some of our defined areas of expertise, we created what we call consultancies. These groups are comprised entirely of andCulture employees, but they sometimes run projects that don't involve anyone outside their teams. It's all still andCulture, just with a "special forces" approach.
