01/ Why we existBusinesses are full of great thinking that doesn’t always get heard
Most businesses aren’t short of creative thinking. They just need more people to have the tools, confidence and permission to participate.
That’s where whirr comes in.
Our belief:
Ideas don’t come from job titles.
They come from people.
Creativity isn’t about finding the most creative person in the room.
It’s about creating the best conditions for more people to think
The loudest voice
isn’t necessarily the one with the best idea.
A small thought is just a starting point
waiting for someone else to build on it.
Different minds
need different ways to think.
02/ What is whirr?
whirr /wɜː/ verb
a series of small sounds, moving so quickly they become one continuous thing
One thought starts something.
Then another.
And another.
whirr gets thinking moving.
Using a range of practical tools and techniques, whirr helps people & businesses explore challenges from different angles, bring quieter voices alongside the confident to build on each other’s thinking and see possibilities they might otherwise miss.
The goal of whirr isn’t to have the answer.
It’s to give everyone the confidence to explore one.

Thinking together

Giving your team the safe space, motivation and practical tools to think beyond the day-to-day
Practical, playful sessions that get different minds thinking together. Using a carefully chosen mix of thinking tools, we'll challenge assumptions, bring quieter voices into the conversation and give small thoughts somewhere to grow.
HOW IT WORKS:
BEFORE:
A 30 minute conversation to understand where you are and what you'd like to get moving.
THE SESSION
A focused 4-5 hours (Long enough to go deep. Short enough to stay sharp) Up to 6 people · Any role, any level · 3–4 carefully pre-selected tools and techniques to get everyone thinking together.
AFTER
A practical takeaway toolkit for each attendee to keep. Plus a short debrief highlighting three emerging ideas worth exploring further.
Thinking with you
1:1 Thinking
partner sessions
Too close to something to see it differently? Sometimes another mind in the room is exactly what you need.
If you have a challenge, an opportunity or an idea that's been circling your head, I'll bring an outside perspective and some of the same thinking tools I use in Whirr Kit workshops - to help you look at things differently, challenge assumptions and explore where it could go next.
You'll leave with more clarity on your next step - and the thinking behind it.
HOW IT WORKS:
Starting at 2 hours 1:1 virtual or in-person session.
Thinking on your behalf
Thinking,
ongoing
An ongoing partnership for small businesses who'd value an experienced, thoughtful marketing mind - without the need for a full time hire.
Some businesses know they need to do more with their marketing but aren't sure where to start. They need someone they can trust to think on their behalf. I work with a small number of clients on a retained basis - offering flexible, hands-on support, spotting opportunities, keeping good things moving and being there when something crops up.
No jargon, no complicated pipelines - just someone who cares about your story enough to tell it well.
When specialist expertise is needed - design, PR, photography - I'll bring in the right people and oversee the work, while remaining your main point of contact.
HOW IT WORKS:
Typically from 2 days a month, used flexibly across the month as and when they're needed.
