London-based Department 22 (department for the 22nd century) offers consultancy, training and education in design, innovation and circular economy, discovering sustainable pathways and exciting new business directions.

We are working in a business development capacity for the consultancy, making introductions for them to potential clients and raising more awareness about their work through events. 

We brokered a relationship with Roca London Gallery and proposed that Department22 curate an exhibition for their 2019 programme. This resulted in an exhibition on urban food growing that garnered national press and developed business introductions for the consultancy.

As part of our drive to work with socially responsible organisations, we were thrilled to work with Stuffstr, the game-changing solution to consumer waste.

A flagship for the circular economy, Stuffstr delivers a unique, retailer-branded mobile app that makes re-sale a seamlessly integrated part of every retail purchase, increasing the life of a product exponentially and, crucially, arresting its progress to landfill.

The app was piloted by John Lewis in June 2018 and adopted by Adidas in 2019.

We recommended and recruited a social media consultant as a crucial element of this early phase of awareness-building and developed an event for Stuffstr to coincide with Fashion Week 2019, inviting speakers to discuss the future of sustainable fashion at The Conduit, London's club for  social entrepreneurs.  Tamara Cincik of Fashion Roundtable spoke from the policy perspective; Mike Barry, ex head of sustainability at M&S from the corporate position; and Stuffstr's founder John Atcheson from the tech viewpoint.  The event was attended by around 80 people in the field.
