A distributed network of expertise.

Our Culture

We want people outside. We want people engaging with what’s around them. We want people to explore and unearth the stories that surround them in the landscape. We want the curious and the balmy. The philosophers and the humble idiots. The bee chasers and the pollen intolerant. We want you to be overwhelmed by interest and reckless with exploring. We want you to feel the euphoria of sun on your face and the breeze at your back. We want to use creativity to get you excited about getting out there and getting stuck in.
So go, enjoy.

Why Blunt Crayon?

The humble wax crayon is probably the first tool most of used in our creative careers. Many careers ended having progressed to nothing else, some flourished and progressed to the exultant pencil crayon or paint set. The unifying experience of the wax crayon is that it allowed an outpouring of raw, uncensored, vigorous creativity. An experience so visceral that it led some to expand their canvas to any surface in the house, blunted nubs of crayon laying discarded.

That raw creativity is something we seek to harness on all briefs while tempering it with the wisdom, knowledge and learning of our experience. Our name is a reminder to love the practise of creating - anywhere.

Select Clients

I have had the pleasure in working with Anna across small and large strategy projects, both as a researcher and creative strategist. Key to the success of every partnership has been how we have collaborated – loving the process, the hard work and the traffic jam moments to get to that core truth which brings the whole approach together. I love the fact that she loves to be challenged (“can we prove it?”) and that she’ll challenge me right back with nuances and robust insight that takes the work beyond theory and unnecessary complexity. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who’s looking for support with research and creative strategy, particularly in relation to brand creation.

Gladys Delgado-Hunt
Director of Strategy

Anna is one of the few creatives that is able to strike the balance between a strategic mindset, with exceptional design skills. Able to think about the customer problem, the category context and the commercial goals – to then create the right type of solutions that address all of those. I have enjoyed working with Anna over the years and would recommend to all.
