Investigating Culture
Loie Greenwood | Sub Rosa Studio
Investigative research, strategy, and narrative practice
  If it’s complicated,
we’re interested.

    Every brief is something to be uncovered, not solved.
This approach reveals new sources of value - and shapes the way we research, build strategy, and develop narrative.    



Research      
We study people, culture, and emerging behavior - to surface the insights shaping audiences, identities, and the futures brands must prepare for.      
  • Primary Research
  • Consumer and Cultural Insight
  • Audience Persona Development
  • Futures Forecasting
Strategy      
We interpret those insights - defining a brand’s position, character, and how it shows up across campaigns, content, and culture.      
  • Strategic Brand Positioning
  • Brand Personality / Archetype
  • Campaigns and Activation Strategy
  • Content and Social Strategy
Narrative      
We shape those ideas - building stories, briefs, and scripts that bring a brand’s voice to life.      
  • Brand and Go-To-Market Narrative
  • Creative Briefs and Briefings
  • Core Creative Idea - 'Big Idea'
  • Narrative and A/V Scriptwriting
