Hello there,

We're Manyone, a strategic design consultancy


Two people standing up talking in an office environment with three people standing in the background, out of focus

Since 2019, we've helped global brands transform by reimagining their businesses and designing revolutionary experiences, products, and services, seamlessly blending strategy, creativity, and technology.


Our approach

Where strategy meets execution

Businesses of today can get distracted or even paralyzed by lengthy, biased, and retrospective strategy reports with no real connection to what is happening, changing, and working out there. Sounds familiar?

The Manyone magic

At Manyone, we do it differently. By merging strategy, creativity, and technology into one approach, in one team with one purpose, and with a global outlook and local anchoring, we test innovative, well-informed ideas, get feedback, discover opportunities, and repeat. Experimental strategic processes, creative execution, and emerging tech implementation make fast, precise, and adaptable development possible.

Why work with us?

The Manyone experience

Our clients come to us for many reasons, but the common factor is their need to move quickly in the right direction. Here's what makes their Manyone experience unique:

Drawing from our Nordic heritage, we champion a unique team-of-teams structure across borders, making an impact worldwide with local resonance and cultural nuances.

Complexity rises, and opportunities emerge faster than your strategy deck, so we find potential in hands-on insights and shape visions while building, testing, and improving tomorrow's solutions.

We blend the best from Agile, Design Thinking, and new ways of working into bespoke processes. Your perfect fit is found at the intersection between team setup, ambitions, and desired outcomes.

By mixing strategy, creativity, and technology in one seamless and fast process, we bring maximum impact to any collaboration or project.

We design and innovate for growth, but caring for societies, future generations, and the planet is mandatory to excel beyond commercial prosperity.
