Led by Angela Cobb & Oliver Stewart,

Signal & Depth is built for the conversations leaders cannot afford to get wrong - sensitive, high-value discussions where trust, judgement and strategic interpretation matter.​

Senior practitioners, no handoff 

01

High trust, high stakes 

02

Strategic application 

03

Senior practitioners lead every conversation end-to-end, because high-stakes work should not be handed off.

Built for sensitive, confidential and commercially consequential conversations where credibility in the room matters as much as the insight that follows.

Insight translated into executive judgement, strategic clarity and decisions leaders can act on with confidence.

About

For when the conversation is sensitive,
the stakes are high, and the insight matters.

"Putting someone in front of your customers is an act of trust, and Angela and Oliver earned it immediately. They represented My Muscle Chef incredibly well and got our customers talking in a way that felt natural and unguarded. They have a rare ability to build rapport quickly and get people to open up, which meant the insights they garnered went well beyond the surface. The depth of what they uncovered gave us real confidence in the lifecycle and loyalty strategy that followed, and in the decisions we made off the back of it."
