WHAT WE DO

01

If it doesn't exist, we build it

The businesses that will thrive in the world of tomorrow might not exist. We will build products or business from scratch based on an industry gap or current inefficiency.

02

If its behind, we transform it

Innovating from within can be difficult to achieve. That’s why we modernise existing business through completely transforming their value and growth.

03

If its inefficient, we optimise it

We future proof already successful businesses by unlocking untapped potential, growth opportunities and completely new verticals.

20 years young

We’re a bunch of entrepreneurially minded people with diverse skills, perspectives, backgrounds and talents.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve worked with some of the most exciting companies in the world. Our combination of deep digital expertise and brand strategy allows us to see businesses through a unique lense. We have learned a lot about what works and why it works. We have also learned what doesn’t work and what could be done better.

Both are reasons we started Lucky Beard.

mutual respect

It's as simple as that. Respect and kindness are non negotiable. Life is too short for it to be any other way.

no nonsense

The world is complicated enough already. We keep things simple, we make things clear and we say it as it is.

a-team

We don’t have lots of people we have special people. Because we believe that a small team of remarkable people will beat a big team of average people every day of the week.

own it

This is a grown up business full of grown ups. We are all accountable for ourselves and to each other.

shoulders back

We believe strongly in what we do, who we do it for and who we do it with. It makes coming to work everyday so much easier.

hands on

There are no spectators or commentators at Lucky Beard, we all get stuck in and wouldn’t have it any other way.

We love what we do, who we do it with, and how we do it

If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. That’s why we do what we love with people we love for brands we love. That’s a whole lot of love.

We are proud of what we have done but believe our best is yet to come

We never settle or compromise and are constantly trying to see how we can do better, do more and always surpass expectations and over deliver. It is in our DNA. Mediocrity is not an option.

CLIENT LOVE

An intrinsic part of our team. Genuinely world class.

we optimise it

We future proof already successful businesses by unlocking their untapped potential, growth opportunities and completely new verticals.
