Climate innovation sprints that actually get stuff done
It’s time your company started making big moves towards climate action.
With your team and ours, we’ll kick off and facilitate a multi-sprint process to come up with your next bold move and put it into motion.
Week 1: Kickoff
FIND MOONSHOT IDEAS
We’ll start with a 2-hour session (or one of our fun networking events) with you and your team to generate bold, innovative ideas you’d never have dreamed of on your own. This is an active session where groups will be on their feet, drawing out ideas, laughing, and smiling.
DISCOVER THE DEPTHS
Next we’ll spend a day together to take those wild ideas down to earth and define the landscape of the problem we aim to solve, including goals, metrics of success, target market, and brand vision. We’ll also do some low-fidelity prototyping and testing to validate the plan.
PLAN OUR ROUTE
We’ll finish off our Kickoff week with a detailed roadmap of implementation. Roles and responsibilities will be clearly articulated, teams will be formed, and we’ll be ready to move into build mode.
Week 2 and on: Build Weeks
We will outline the scope of the project in Week 1 and agree on an appropriate build time estimate depending on the complexity of the project.
We will recruit and manage whatever creatives are needed to finish the project, whether we need illustrators, videographers, writers, etc.
Each Build Week will start and end with team check-ins to report on progress and plan the next week in detail. There will be milestones and deadlines to meet from your team as well as ours. We will make sure everyone knows their tasks and can deliver on time.
Final Week: Launch
We will plan and manage the launch of the project so you can launch with a bang, including emails, social media, and anything else the project calls for.
Post- launch:
We can then consult with you, if needed, continuing to build buzz, promote and engage customers, and make sure the project continues to run smoothly.
(Consulting is a retainer of $500/session, with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions available.)

It’s about the opportunity, not the challenges.”

How many weeks will this take?
We tackle projects of many sizes, from websites, to marketing campaigns, to new brands and more. Often, we’re not sure what we’re building when we kick off. We come up with ideas and decide together. We agree on a timeline and scope at the end of Week 1.
You can always stop after Week 1, too, if you decide you want to hold off on the rest of the project for a while.
What if I already have designers/videographers/writers on staff?
We happily incorporate your team in this process. We can recruit any others needed to fill in the gaps. If you have don’t need any creative work from us, the economy package is built for you. We’ll just facilitate the weekly check-ins and ensure the project is done on time and launches with a bang.
I’m ready for a Climate Sprint! When can we start?
Glad you’re up for jamming with us. We’ll need at least 2–3 weeks of a heads up before we can start a sprint. With other sprints going on along with design work, our schedule can get a little crazy. No worries, though. We’ll do our best to get started on your world-changing approach as soon as we can.
