At Corner Three, we believe strategic thinking time always finds its way into a project – and it’s better to do it at the start than on your fourth round of revisions. So whether you just need a sense check for your gut or a plan of attack for your ambition, we give you the confidence to charge ahead or change course.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about the problem — not a menu of services. The shape of the work follows from there. Some briefs need a sharp perspective in a short window. Others need sustained strategic partnership over months. Corner Three is set up for both, and everything in between. If you're not sure what you need, that's usually a good reason to get in touch.
How We Work Together
Start with the problem. Every engagement begins with a scoping conversation — no assumptions about what the work should look like until we understand what you're actually trying to solve. A written proposal follows that maps the work to your specific situation. Nothing moves until you're comfortable with what's been agreed.
Do the work. Whether the engagement is a focused sprint or ongoing strategic partnership, the approach is the same: concise thinking, honest counsel, and deliverables built to be used — not filed. Timeframes are agreed upfront and tied to the realities of your team's availability, not an idealised project plan.
Stay honest about scope. If the work changes shape mid-engagement, we'll flag it early and propose how to handle it — rather than quietly absorbing it or letting it compromise the output.
Types Of Engagements
Campaign strategy.
For teams with a defined upcoming campaign — building the strategic and creative platform that gives the brief genuine direction. Scaled to the complexity of the work, from a single focused campaign window through to a full through-the-line platform.
Leadership advisory.
For moments when you need a senior perspective on something specific — a brief that's not landing, a strategy that needs challenging, a presentation that needs to be sharper before it goes up the chain.
Brand positioning.
Foundational work that defines where the brand sits in market, what it stands for, and the strategic anchor that subsequent campaigns build from. Built for teams that need that foundation solid before the next round of creative work begins.
Team training.
Workshops that build your team's ability. Particularly useful where the gap between business objectives and creative output is partly a capability gap, not just a capacity one.
Ongoing partnership.
For teams with a continuous pipeline of creative work who need senior strategic input embedded in the rhythm of their team — rather than commissioned per project. Structured to flex with your workload without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Extended specialisms.
Where engagements call for additional creative or design capability, we draw on a trusted network of partners whose work meets the same standard. You get the benefits of a lean engagement without the limitations of one.
Not sure which type of engagement fits? Start with a conversation – the shape of the work usually becomes clear pretty quickly after a quick chat.
Strategy can take many forms, so if you don’t quite see what you need here – we can do what we do best and start with whatever’s keeping you up at night.
