Oakbridge methodology
Your trusted advisor
At its core, our methodology begins with getting a clear understanding of your business ambitions, context and environment before developing creative, high impact programmes of activity, and implementing them to great effect.
Given our experience, we can move fast. We’re very comfortable operating in complex scenarios, with imperfect information, tight timelines and challenging audiences. In fact, we’re masters at creating simplicity from complexity, and thrive on a challenge.

Case Study
Featurespace: making the world a safer place to transact
To get Featurespace’s world leading technology into the hands of as many financial institutions as possible, a high impact programme of growth marketing was executed across its major markets. A multi-workstream strategy covering reputational impact, product marketing, digital marketing and lead generation led to game changing commercial results. Key to success was engaging the next layer of leaders in cross company strategy development and implementing clear operational processes.
"Will’s work at Featurespace was of the highest calibre. Will’s work ethic, determination and professional approach to communications and marketing created an impact that exceeded our highest expectations. Results were measurable across multiple markets.
Additionally, Will’s leadership skills and drive were evident when working to develop our next generation of operational leaders. We now have a stronger operational engine and improved 5 Year Plan."
— Martina King, CEO, Featurespace.
Case Study
Careem: protecting an awesome organisation that inspires
When Careem faced a major reputational crisis brought on by the unauthorised access to customer’s personal information – also known as a data breach – a thoughtful and targeted communications strategy was deployed to explain what had happened, and get the team back to its mission. Then, when Uber moved in to acquire Careem in a landmark deal for the region, a differentiated positioning strategy was developed to position Careem as the region’s everyday lifestyle app – SuperApp – with a powerful growth campaign centred on ‘everyday life, made simple’.
“Will expertly guided us through a significant business crisis. After seeing the impact he had on us, and the values and behaviours he brought, I asked him to join the team. Through his work, the Uber and Careem story was told in such a way that people truly understood the value of the deal, and the scale of investment opportunities in the region. His work to start positioning us as the SuperApp of the region was awesome!”
— Mudassir Sheika, Founder and CEO, Careem
