About

Snow-covered mountain at night with a small cloud or mist near the summit and some lights at the base.

Little Vienna operates as a micro research, strategy, and creative practice.

Started in 2023 and built on broad range experience across brand, comms, research, creative, purpose, sustainability, impact, cognitive science, and behaviour change – the aim was simple: to be genuinely useful. That means applying sharp thinking and smart creativity to help client organisations move forward. Like having a strategy department on call, I work solo, bringing in others when the project requires it.

My way of working is direct, clear, and pragmatic. No needless complexity, bloated process, or rigid models.

  • 50% of time is spent on client work – from projects and freelance, to consultancy and retainers. This has included work for Compare the Market, RY, GSK, Audi, Volkswagen Group, SEAT, CUPRA, Transpennine Express, Department for Education (UK Gov’t), Santander, Vitol, Havas, English Heritage, Superbet, SBG, Untangld, and House337.

  • The other 50% goes towards projects – self-initiated, partnered, sponsored, or pro-bono – this has included work with THE HIDDEN 20%, Connect2, and several solo projects under Little Vienna.

  • I partner with people who want to make things better - sharper strategy, clearer thinking, more meaningful work.

    • Marketing and brand teams who want the expertise and experience of an agency, without the agency.

    • Agencies and consultancies who need specialist thinking, or a little extra firepower behind the scenes.

    • Teams with lots of research, but struggling to interpret it effectively.

    • Organisations with big questions to answer – or in need of sharp, bespoke research.

    • Teams stuck mid-project, where the thinking’s gone fuzzy and the next step isn’t clear.

    • Founders and senior leaders looking for effective answers to big questions.

    • Individuals who are looking to get a project or idea off the ground.

    Some clients need a fresh take. Others are stuck and need help getting unstuck. I work well with both.

  • I make your life easier - not harder.

    • Clear thinking. No egos, no jargon - just honest, thoughtful advice.

    • Fast and focused. No bloated decks or busywork. I get straight to the point.

    • Lean and flexible. Easier (and cheaper) than an agency, with none of the overheads.

    • Broad experience. I bring ideas from other sectors that spark fresh thinking.

    • Truly independent. I stay neutral so I can stay useful.

    • No fixed answers. I don’t sell solutions - I help you find the right one.

    • Collaborative. No fluff, no fuss - just smart, straightforward partnership.
