Work we love

work TO BE PROUD OF

Every business we've worked with had a trust problem. They just didn't always call it that.

Sometimes it was a narrative that hadn't kept pace with their ambition. Sometimes it was a rebrand that had to hold up under regulatory scrutiny or investor due diligence. Sometimes it was a marketing function that needed to grow up fast. Here's what we did.

EMERGENCE

A STAND-OUT START-UP

Emergence was set up in 2019 by five former ‘big four’ consultants starting out on their own.

We built the positioning & brand presence that earned trust in a crowded consulting-tech market. From zero to 300% growth in three years and secured investment for a merger to become Cognition in 2023

COGNITION

BRANDING GOES GLOBAL

Preserving the credibility of a successful start-up through a complex international merger. The hardest trust challenge: keeping what earned it in the first place.

The business continues to grow under the Cognition brand, opening new offices, increasing talent and building new and repeat clients.
