Creative solutions for complex sectors.
We’ve spent more than thirty years making complex industries understood. And we’ve stayed small and nimble enough that you get the people who do the work, not the people who sell it.
Who we are.
Myriad has spent more than three decades in the industries that are hardest to communicate. Energy, infrastructure, technology and the businesses driving the transition. We have made work for ExxonMobil, Woodside, TotalEnergies, ADNOC, Energy Transfer and Venture Global, which is how you learn to speak the language without a glossary, and to recognize most briefs before they land.
That experience is not why we are slow. It is why we are fast. We know what works because we have watched what does not, so we can move on a brief with a confidence that takes years to earn and minutes to notice.
Not the giants.
There are global networks the size of small countries, with a floor of people between you and the ones who actually make the work. We are not one of them, and we never wanted to be. You get the senior people on your brief, the ones who pitched it, from start to finish.
No layers. No being handed down the building the moment the contract is signed. Whoever you brief is who you work with. We have stayed the size where every client gets the attention the big networks reserve only for their biggest.
The model.
Boutique does not mean local. We work from London, Houston and Abu Dhabi, in the financial, energy and industrial capitals our clients operate from, and we draw on a production network spanning more than sixty countries.
A lean, senior core that knows your work intimately, and a deep bench of specialists we assemble around each brief. So you get the attention of a small team and the reach of a large one, without paying for a head office full of people who will never touch your project.
The wedge.
Most firms are built for one or the other. The consultancies think, then hand the making to someone else. The production houses make beautiful things, but need to be told what to say. We do both, which is why our work comes out smart and good enough to be believed.
And we lead with the problem, not the format. The film, the campaign, the 3D, the report, the app, all of them are tools, chosen once we understand what actually has to shift. Solving the communication problem comes first. Everything else follows from it.
What we believe.
Clarity is hard-won.
Making a complex thing genuinely clear is more work than leaving it complicated. That work is the job, and we are unusually willing to do it.
Ideas have to move people.
Explaining something is not the same as changing how someone thinks about it. Only the second one counts, so we aim for it.
We shape the work.
We are most useful challenging a brief, not nodding it through. The clients who get the most from us treat us as a partner, not a pair of hands.
The people.
Our work is finding the creativity in subjects most people find boring. A refinery process, a reservoir, a set of safety procedures. Where others see something dry, we see a problem worth solving and usually a good story hiding in it. That is the job, and you have to enjoy it to be any good at it.
So the people here are a particular type. Curious about how things actually work, happy to get into the detail, and genuinely interested in industries other agencies would rather not touch. Over 35 years that is what we have hired for, because the enthusiasm is what makes the work good.
Team profiles, with real faces and names, are coming to this page soon. For now, take it as read that whoever picks up your brief will find it more interesting than you would expect anyone to.
