Core Collective
pluralthinking is a unique collective of senior international brand-builders, researchers, innovators and cultural spies.
We curate your team carefully to bring in multiple perspectives and expertise.
No fixed teams, expensive premises, homogeneous disciplines: Just sparky, well-curated grown-ups dedicating time to your brand.
Refreshing? We think so.
Projects are led and managed by an experienced in-house team based in the UK. We collaborate with best-in-class agency partners around the world.
Founded in 2013 by principals with 18+ years of experience in international qualitative, advertising planning and brand consultancy, we have won awards and glowing testimonials for our work.
Managing Partner
Brett Templeton
Brand positioning wizard, communications specialist & Founder.
Brett has advised some of the World’s most iconic brands, run agencies in London and New York, led client work in over 40 countries and still loves every minute of it. He collects contemporary art and plays terrible 80s dance music in the office.
Project Director
João Moreira
Project planning guru, multi-lingual ever-cheerful doer.
João makes our projects happen, coordinating our pluralthinkers and partners with the skill of an air traffic controller. He’s also a digital native and can even make Powerpoint fun to read. This is a good thing.
International Qualitative Consultant
Pamela Green
Global qual expert, ex Hong-Kong and Vietnam resident, global thinker & cat-lover.
When she’s not running brand positioning workshops, unpicking drink-driving in Vietnam or creating positioning ideas for petrol stations in Turkey, Pamela likes to hang out in a water mill and rescue cats. The cats are very grateful.
Qualitative Research Manager
Gemma Stokes
Solutions-driven, thrives on talking to people (and occasionally to goats and chickens).
During the course of her 18yr career, Gemma has worked across a broad range of categories, from FMCG to politics. An agile thinker and skilled multi-tasker, Gemma is able to balance complex research projects and apply clear strategic thinking. When not moderating or running multi-country research projects, she can be found, at home, on her farm in France, with a menagerie of animals making the most of rural life with her young family.
