We are wired to reinvent.
Look around. Every brand is starting to look, sound and feel the same.
The legacy agency model wasn’t built to think differently. It was built to protect margins, minimise risk at the cost of differentiation.
Linear thinking, siloed teams, slow processes and junior people have created an expensive sea of sameness.
Your audience has developed a finely tuned immunity to work that doesn't surprise them. They scroll past average without registering it.
That's the gap Non Vanilla was built for.
20+ years of working out what different. looks like.

01
Adults Only.
Every expert we put on your business is a seasoned veteran from in-house teams such as Google, Netflix, and have stolen what's worth stealing from the biggest networks in advertising and brand consulting.
You are not paying for presence.
You are paying for judgement.
02
We Love Problems.
Unlike others we don’t leap to unfounded execution; we start with the discipline of defining the right problem to solve.
When we do this for you, we’re honouring a process you deserve.
If we can't align on the problem together, it’s inappropriate to start.
03
AI Native.
Not AI Lazy.
Mainstream tools our competition use are optimised for the average.
We operate with a curated network of innovative AI partners who are at the bleeding edge. We’ve spent significant time finding them so you don’t have to.
The judgment we give is always differentiated with expertise; yet the execution is faster, sharper, and non-vanilla.
Three ways we
ELIMINATE Vanilla.
Three ways we
ELIMINATE Vanilla.
Non Vanilla
Brand Strategy:
Finding the specific, defensible territory that is yours alone. True strategy across brand architecture, go-to-market execution, and insightful briefs to achieve real world stand out work.
Non Vanilla
Culture-Fuelled Social:
Social is not a static content calendar. We build platform strategies from culture outward, focused on what people actually watch, share, and reject.
Non Vanilla
Creative Ideation:
Creative thinkers and makers vetted over two decades to find the ideas that earn attention rather than buy it. Work designed to perform and deliver commercially, not play it safe.
ALL AI POWERED — NOT OUTSOURCED // HUMAN JUDGEMENT — MACHINE SPEED // OBSESSED WITH DIFFERENT.
Built for the brave.

01
Established Brands
In-house teams who have outgrown their agency retainer. Marketing leaders who need fractional expertise without a full-time headcount. Brands who are commercially successful but creatively stuck, who know they are capable of more and need a partner with the experience and the nerve to get them there.
02
02
Startups
Founders with a product but not yet a brand. Teams who need to move fast, think big, and spend smart. We bring enterprise-level strategic rigour without the enterprise-level retainer, and the kind of honest, direct thinking that only comes from someone who has no interest in keeping you dependent.

03
The Creative Industry
Agencies ready for transformation. Creative studios expanding into strategy. In-house teams building capability. Independent consultants who need a network of genuine experts behind them. The people building the future of this industry, and who deserve a partner as serious about that as they are.

Strategy Teams
Senior strategic resource, without the overhead. If you have a pitch that needs a sharper brief, a planning cycle with a gap at the top, or a client that needs a brand strategy you don't have the bandwidth to write, we’ll step in. Project by project or on a rolling basis. Alongside your team, not instead of it.
Done with
vanilla?
Not a pitch. Not a deck. A direct conversation.
Working agency-side and need a senior pair of hands on the right brief, right away?
That works too. Same conversation. Same directness.
