At Wavemaker we believe there is always a better way to grow. We know that growth models of the past will not serve the future. Established approaches and traditional thinking are being exploded in every sector, in every market. But exceptional growth requires uncomfortable change – and this change demands courage, from our clients and from our people. That’s why we’ve built Provocative Planning, a way of working powered by our spirit of restless enquiry in pursuit of better outcomes. It rejects traditional linear planning in favour of a modular approach, fusing machine learning and human intelligence in a unique way that gets the best from both. The three growth modules in Provocative Planning – Unlock, Maximize and Transform – provoke growth at different speeds, for today, ongoing, and for tomorrow. Positive Provocation empowers our people every bit as much it does our clients. It inspires us to be well-informed, careful listeners with the confidence and knowledge to ask tough questions. We become more confident, more courageous, more capable. When we positively provoke, we Grow Fearless. We shape consumers’ brand decisions and experiences through media, content and technology. Wavemaker’s Provocative Planning is fuelled by the world’s most powerful consumer decision-making data. This means we know where and how you can win customers. The intelligent insight this provides feeds our world-class precision capabilities in every area of our business, from planning and activation, to our integrated practices such as ecommerce and content – provoking growth for many of the world’s leading brands and businesses. #GrowFearless #PositiveProvocation
