Grow your organisation
with purpose.
We help charities, educators, communities, and businesses with a purpose, to grow.
We’ll connect the dots between your products, brand, and digital presence, providing you with the hands-on support you need to make a real impact.
Welcome to Lab 16-12
Making a real difference isn’t easy. You have big ambitions to launch a new service, connect with your community in a meaningful way, or get to grips with the latest technology. But you’re juggling limited resources, and the pressure is on to get every decision right.
Often, that means the headache of bringing in different specialists for each task – a brand agency here, a digital consultant there, a project manager somewhere else. It can quickly become complicated, disconnected, and costly.
We do things differently. We’re a consultancy that works as a flexible extension of your team, providing all the expertise you need in one place. We’re here to provide you with clear, practical support that addresses your needs, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Everything you need to grow, all joined up
We don’t believe in working in silos. Real, lasting progress happens when your product, digital, and brand strategies all pull in the same direction. We help you connect the dots for a stronger, more efficient way forward.
Product Management
Got an idea for a new service? We’ll help you transform your rough concept into a polished product that people genuinely need and love using again and again.
Digital & AI
The digital world moves fast. We’ll be your guide, helping you leverage technology and AI to connect with your audience, work more efficiently, and amplify your impact.
Brand Management
A great brand is built on trust. We’ll help you tell your story in a way that genuinely connects with your audience, creates a loyal community, and makes you memorable for all the right reasons.
Programme Management
Large-scale projects involve numerous moving parts. We’ll keep everything on track, turning your ambitious ideas into successful, stress-free results, whilst centring collaboration.
