When Everything is Changing, What’s the Best Way Forward?

The escalating complexity and speed of change demand more than any of us can achieve alone. And I'll go one step further to claim most problems cannot be solved by one agency or consultancy, because the complexity today demands a multitude of skills that rarely exists in one type of agency or firm.

Markets shift overnight. Technology moves faster than regulation. Culture evolves in real time. For consultants, agencies, and creatives, this creates both opportunity and pressure: clients expect answers immediately, but no single person or business can possibly keep up with everything on their own.

So we have to ask: what is the ideal model for agencies, consultants, and creatives who want faster growth without the risks, more impact, and more meaning?

I believe it's a model where we come together to solve the problems none of us can solve alone. This is why I founded Original Minds. And if you share this vision, I'd like to discuss a potential partnership with you. But first, read on.

Why the Old Models Are Breaking

Traditional agencies were built for another era — when stability was higher, and the only way to scale was to hire. But high fixed costs and overhead create fragility. Many agencies today struggle with thin margins, high stress, and the constant chase for billable hours.

Solo consultants and small shops, on the other hand, enjoy flexibility — but often feel limited in reach. You can’t be everywhere at once, and it’s hard to win the biggest opportunities when you’re just one name on the pitch.

The result? Two broken extremes:

• Agencies weighed down by overhead.
• Independents limited by capacity.

Neither feels like the future.

The Boundless Model We’re Betting On

At Original Minds, we believe there’s a better way. A model built for complexity, speed, and opportunity. We call it the Boundless Model.

Instead of building a heavy, fixed structure, we’ve created a platform for boundless growth:

• Lower risk → no need to employ dozens of people to scale.
• Greater reach → access to global expertise and credibility far beyond what any one of us could achieve alone.
• Smarter work → powered by our AI-driven intelligence platform, The Brief Pro™, which turns global signals into actionable strategies and plays.

The Boundless Model means you can stay independent and flexible, but operate with the scale and credibility of a much larger consultancy or agency.

To give you a real example: I’m based in the Nordics, but I’m personally pitching for an NFL team and working for a Fortune 50 company. That reach isn’t possible alone — but it is possible when you plug into a collective with intelligence, credibility, and collaboration at its core.

The Value of a Personal Advisory Board

One of the most overlooked benefits of the Boundless Model is this: you don’t just get peers, you get a personal advisory board.

Instead of figuring everything out in isolation, you have fellow consultants, strategists, and creatives who’ve been there before — to pressure-test your ideas, give you perspective, and hold you accountable.

It’s mentorship, but it’s also camaraderie. It’s about building alongside others who understand your challenges, because they’re living them too.

The Brief Pro™ Intelligence To Power Up Your Business

At the core of Original Minds is The Brief Pro™ — our AI-driven intelligence platform that scans global signals and distills them into actionable insights, opportunities, and plays. It's what we use for the signals, trends, and insights we share on this publication too, only we take it a few steps further to include industries, regions, categories, and more actionable strategies and ideas for different roles, from strategists to creative director, copywriter and design direction. It's like spoon-feeding your team with new ideas and inspiration, saving you lots of time while supercharging your strategic and creative capability.

You’ll have a constant flow of curated intelligence to sharpen your strategies, inspire creative ideas, and win bigger pitches. It’s like having a research team and a strategist in your pocket — saving time, reducing guesswork, and giving you an unfair advantage in a world where speed and clarity win.

More Than Community — A Platform for Growth

Original Minds isn’t just another network or community. It’s a platform designed to help you:

• Win bigger projects → team up with peers to pitch for work beyond your solo capacity.
• Stay sharp → access intelligence that turns noise into clarity and signals into opportunities.
• Grow faster → leverage frameworks, training, and advisory support to build a scalable business model.
• Find meaning → work with ambitious leaders and progressive brands on challenges that actually matter.

It’s everything you’d want from running your own consultancy — with more upside, less downside.

Opening the Doors

We believe creativity is the engine of progress — but collaboration multiplies its impact.

That’s why we’re opening the doors to new members of Original Minds. If you’re a consultant, agency founder, or creative entrepreneur who wants to grow smarter, win bigger, and stay original, we’d love to hear from you.

Apart, we are limited. Together, we are boundless.
