As a passionate believer in silo-busting solutions and cross-functional working, I often collaborate with fellow consultants or specialist agencies where a broader solution is needed. I also provide my services to specialist agencies when they are the project lead team. Here are examples of how I collaborate with associates.
I was delighted to be engaged to help The Retail Practice develop the strategy and brand communication for Polarn O.Pyret. This iconic and ethically based Swedish kidswear brand wanted to tell its story better, increase awareness, expand its channels and build its profile in the UK and Irish markets. With a relative higher ASP, it was critical the brand demonstrated to its potential partners and direct customers compelling value for money ie: buy less, buy well.

Having worked with Claire from Retail With Clarity several times. We have an aligned approach on using data and analysis to inform business performance and develop customer-centric strategies that create value. We have established a project partnership that supports clients to step change their planning and forecasting practices. I engaged Retail With Clarity to create and deliver a Line Forecasting Tool for Eco Outdoor, an exciting Australian brand supplying innovative and unique exterior surface treatments for residential and commercial projects. Eco Outdoor have a global supply chain, and are now trading internationally, so visibility and control of stock flow by item is increasingly crucial to ensure timely fulfilment of their customers’ orders – without any surprises for their warehousing and sales teams.
Retail With Clarity scoped, developed and delivered a tool that allowed Eco Outdoor to – simply, and all in one place – review and plan monthly sales, stock and intake at item level. Incorporating automated summaries of future intake requirements, the tool will also support longer term planning both cross-functionally and with suppliers.
