What we do

Find where new revenue will come from, design the proposition that wins it, and build what’s needed to make it happen.

  1. Invent Bring a new idea to market We shape the proposition, combining what customers genuinely need with what technology now makes possible, and see it through to launch.
  2. Renew Return an established product to growth We rethink the experience around what people now expect, and hone the positioning so it performs better and wins new customers
  3. Extend Take what you have somewhere new. We turn your existing assets, capabilities and knowledge into challenger propositions that attract a new kind of customer and open new markets.

We’ve spent the last decade building growth with brands across mobility, energy, insurance and consumer products.

The Matter Method

Inertia's worst nightmare

The companies that’ll win in the AI era won't have the best models. They will have the deepest understanding of what people need, and the design conviction and obsessive craft to build that understanding into every interaction.

The Matter Method brings customer insight, commercial ambition and technological possibility together to create new products and experiences, grounded in the realities of your business.

Our promise

Within 2-weeks we deliver something tangible to test, challenge and build around.

Senior, specialist, accountable

Everybody you need, nobody you don’t.

Our senior team spans commercial strategy, experience, product and technology.

When a challenge needs more, we bring in trusted specialists from our Active Network. Always senior talent focused 100% on the work.

Tuned for outcomes

Co-creation, not consulting.

The best work emerges from true partnerships, working alongside your team so the project is shaped together, understood and supported from day one.

Strategy to execution

Every project starts with a clear, ambitious goal. We bring the entrepreneurial tenacity, creativity and commercial judgement needed to make it happen in the real world.

Nothing to sell next

We transfer what we know and help put the right team in place to own, run and evolve the work after we leave, so its value grows without us.

An independent firm betting on creativity and ingenuity to deliver uncommon growth.
