"A Lesson in Innovation Activism" at
U of Chicago's Booth School of Business
Economic downturns are breeding grounds for lots of chatter about innovation. In many ways, it is the only reliable life support system a company has when “business as usual” is anything but. Yet smart business leaders know that innovation, regardless of the prevailing external conditions, is always a vital means of maintaining brand dominance—and in turn, steady revenue growth. The difference is that they don’t just talk about it. They practice it. And that’s where we come in.
Get Stirred Up helps entrepreneurs and organizations achieve brand-bolstering revenue growth. We find game-changing ways to develop and introduce new products or enterprises, establish or overhaul a brand’s positioning, corporate identity, package design, retail experience or service delivery model or create sustainable models for line extensions and channel expansion.
Our roster of “activists” includes branding experts who, as both high-profile company founders and behind-the-scenes advisors to others, have built reputations for blending breakthrough approaches to business development with bold and inspired design. These individuals are joined by industry thought-leaders who have decades of experience advising c-suite executives on how to transform and grow their businesses.
We work with all types of organizations—from pure start-ups to well-established legacy brands, institutional investors, and other creative service providers. Collectively, we have a unique perspective and approach that differentiates us from other innovation and branding firms: We focus on activating innovative ideas with true entrepreneurial instincts, rather than pontificating on them within an elaborate, formulaic model.
