What makes us different
1. Flexibility and versatility
-
We help you in the format that is most useful to you at that moment. We are not only delivering the “typical” strategy reports, but also adjusting to your needs - we know a briefing email before your chairman meeting can make the difference…
-
We focus on the key issues, and we adjust our work as they change during the project lifespan
-
We can deploy teams in various time-zones, facilitating research across all continents (typically our team works around the clock!)
2. Accessibility and continuity
​
-
The partners are deeply involved in each project
-
We are available on short notice for any conversation; there is always one of them hands on deck and informed, independent of half-terms breaks etc.!
3. Value
-
We have a transparent pricing approach
-
As we work remotely, there is no expensive City office to maintain... all the project fee goes to project research, and to getting the best team for the job at hand, rather than to head office costs or to recruiters
4. We are nicer to work with (so say our clients)
​
-
We enjoy what we do and we are glad that it shows!
-
We are quick to adapt to your team’s culture, working style and integrate with client teams (yours and new target acquisitions) where needed

"It is an absolute pleasure to work with Second Curves, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, wholeheartedly. We have worked on many projects; they have been incredible partners and Jake and Celine’s thinking has underpinned some of our biggest investment decisions at Clarion and Opus.
Second Curves deliver on all the things that you would expect from a consulting firm: rigorous analysis, structured thinking etc. But the difference is how commercial they are and comfortable at turning recommendations into actionable business plans and investment proposals – and they don’t sit on the fence. Because they are very personable, they are also able to interact with colleagues at all levels."
Sam Jennings (Clarion, Opus Origin)
"The quality of the work Second Curves have delivered here has been outstanding. On top of that, how they have gone about it impressed me most: great rapport built with the team - it really felt like they were a part of our core team from minute 1 of the project. I have not seen this level of connection and support with any external consultants we have worked with before."
Stuart Thomas (Hyve Group)
