ur journey as Hello Creativity! began in a restaurant several years ago when we found ourselves reflecting on our career journeys at P&G and what we wanted to be our focus as we moved forward. After swapping notes, we embarked on separate consulting careers working across a breadth of challenges for many blue chip companies. Fast forward to this spring and we were drawn back together to re-evaluate what we loved doing; applying human centricity, catalysing the creative juices of teams to solve problems and helping organisations integrate the outcomes in a sustainable, enduring way. This time, we seized the opportunity to combine forces. The three of us had worked together multiple times on all sorts of complex organisations and innovation challenges and now it was our time to broaden our reach together.

Etymology – where does hello come from?
“According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo,[1] which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman"*… so with no ferryman to hail… we loved the idea of bringing ‘hello’ and ‘creativity’ together to fetch or attract attention to creativity!
