About Us

Creative Intelligence

What do we mean by creative intelligence (CQ)?

Our goal is to add Creative Intelligence to everything we do by always asking ourselves:

Are we thinking without boundaries? [ A + B + C]
Are we challenging ourselves and you, our clients?
Is the solution purposeful?
Are we simplifying the complicated?
Can we say, 'I never thought about it that way?'

This is the difference we add.
