About us
What opportunities should you be capitalising on?
In the diamond, gemstone and fine jewellery markets, buyer behaviour is changing – and the pandemic has accelerated this shift. More than 80% of the purchasing journey now takes place online, long before people even speak to your sales team. These new challenges demand a fresh approach to many aspects of your business.
That’s where we come in. We have what it takes to succeed in this dynamic environment – the technology you need to deploy, the relationships you need to build and the processes you need to implement. We help you develop and execute a vision that delivers faster growth than you’d otherwise achieve.
What We Do
Honest advice
We take an objective look at your business and market, identify barriers and opportunities, and give you a plan for achieving your goals. We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Deep expertise
Hindsight is 20/20, and laser-focus is what you get with our network of extraordinary industry insiders. They’ve already seen and handled every growth challenge, so you tap into valuable experience across strategy, product development, merchandising, marketing and more.
ROI focus
Everything we do focuses on delivering value to your business. We don’t do vanity projects or suggest something just because others are doing it. Our recommendations are rooted in an understanding of your business and aligned with your goals.

Case Studies
Growing into a Brand of Their Own
An established men’s wedding band e-tailer jumped feet-first in launching a sister company, confident in their assumption that they could carbon-copy their existing marketing strategy to enter the highly-competitive, and very different, women’s engagement ring sphere.

Many companies mistakenly believe simply that “if you build it, they will come.”

When you are a very small start-up, and you have a great – no, AMAZING – product with a fantastic story… how do you succeed if no one knows you exist?
