Thread & Stack is the studio of Brendan Rodgers, a designer, strategist, and systems partner. We help purpose-led teams, with a leaning toward creatives, that build the operating layer that lets real people do their best work.
Brand promise: Stories that land. Systems that stick.
Two pillars, no add-ons. Systems consultancy leads: we design the operating layer of workflows, documentation, and automation that shifts how a team actually works day to day. Narrative work is retained as the second pillar, called in when the story on the outside needs to match the way the team runs on the inside.
Founders and teams of roughly five to fifty people who have outgrown a folder of Google docs and a website that no longer matches the room. A leaning toward creative-led organisations like studios, agencies, and purpose-driven brands, plus health, education, communities, and impact organisations.
Most engagements start with a paid diagnostic that produces a written read of where you are and what to do next. From there, fixed-scope projects, monthly retainers, or a senior strategy partner on call.
