Exploration is a deep dive into your customers, markets or culture to underpin strategic planning and build the innovation roadmap. Testing is great to prep the launch of a new idea, while monitoring the impact and emerging opportunities is also powerful to guide growth.

Powered by an innate curiosity and drive to solve complex problems, the team at Square Holes have worked on a wide range of projects spanning government innovation to new markets, consumer behaviour and cultural deep dives. We are ready and waiting to sink our heads into your future.

Square Holes by name, square holes by nature. Inspired by Apple’s 1997 Think Different campaign that seeded decades of  growth innovation for the company – “the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently.” Square Holes pride ourselves on creative problem-solving and looking at the world from a slightly different angle – with innovation always top of mind.
