The Low Tide

We do the work before the work, uncovering insights and defining the brief.

For brands. For agencies. For impact and results.

WE ARE

The work is moving fast. The thinking isn’t.

The brand–agency dynamic is shifting

AI is reshaping workflows. Work is moving in-house. Budgets and timelines are tightening.

Discovery has been de-prioritized

This shift has led to shallow briefs, misalignment, rework, and lost strategic opportunities.

We bring back strategic depth

With passion, efficiency and expertise, we uncover what matters and define the path forward.

So your brand can have better results

Sharper briefs, stronger work, fewer detours, meaningful time and cost savings.

A Discovery process anchored in uncovering. Uncovery, perhaps?

We’re ready to start from where you are. Whether you’re a brand or an agency, we’re here to uncover insights, surface opportunities, and align teams around a clear vision. 

We have a fast-paced approach, a collaborative (and fun) work-style,  and decades of agency and brand experience to draw on.  We synthesize all the inputs and most importantly, we deliver. Not only a great brief, but the foundational clarity you need to start a brand-aligned, creative and impactful project.
