Extend your reach.
Increase your impact.
Bring the inside... out.

Wavetable unlocks your brand's hidden magic. We create story-driven educational products, content and experiences that generate new value from what already exists inside.

Everyone
expects better

Inside
  1. Communications that inspire and activate people
  2. Employee upskilling experiences designed for them, not done to them
  3. Development programs that unlock hidden potential
Outside
  1. Customers & communities expect experiences they can learn from, and brands invested in their growth
  2. Complex topics made engaging and accessible
  3. Engaged communities formed around shared interests
“Cracking the code of designing engaging learning environments is what these guys understand and deliver”
Todd Hansen  / Executive Producer Web Summit
“We needed inspiration on how to think differently, motivate ourselves and approach challenges in new ways. Wavetable's Learning Lab was interactive, informative, and fun (yes, really) - and changed our team processes for the better.”
Holly Fraser, Editor in Chief - WePresent / WeTransfer

The Inside Out Flywheel.

Today’s smartest brands are playing a new game. They use what they already have Inside to drive sustainable growth on the Outside.

Companies like Carhartt, Figma, Zingerman's and Porsche all see the value in bringing the inside out.

They build a flywheel by transforming their boring internal processes into compelling content, connections - and cash.

Let's get real.

Companies of all shapes and sizes urgently need to extend the ways they show up for audiences. Do more with less. Create intuitive, engaging & applicable solutions.

But most get tied up with splashy but same-old activations. Thought leadership that limps along. They scramble to grab the next trend. Or focus on one-way broadcasts.

We get it. It’s easily done.


Here's the thing. You're part of a team and organization with high-grade (and hard-won) assets, IP and frameworks. It’s time to turn them inside out and make them work for you.

Your brand can educate, inspire, and engage. And far more than you think.


Which is where we come in. We remix and amplify the value you offer - transforming existing assets and projects into fresh materials, products and experiences.

And we do it all using our proprietary Edutainment 3.0 framework - combining Learning Science, Storytelling, Community and Game Mechanics.

Before & After

Passive audience touchpoints
Interactive, personalized, connected
Flat instructional content
Must-share modern edutainment
Same-old live events
Experiences designed for transformative moments

How it works

1.

Connect

Start by setting up a time to chat. In this no-strings discovery call, we'll help you get clear on ideas, challenges, context and desired outcomes.

Afterwards, we'll send you a menu of options on how we can work together.

2.

Scope

Good to go? You’ll link up with a dedicated team to kick things off.

Together we’ll scope out a single project, or create a backlog of multiple small bets that we’ll refine and prioritize.

3.

Build

We’ll design, build and launch - going from concept to live in no more than 90 days (and for many projects, far less).

Whichever route you take, you’ll get access to our team, tools and methodologies every step of the way.

Our Approach

Our work is fueled by an eclectic and diverse range of inspirations and methods.

(yes, we're also music nerds).

Games

Games are a powerful tool to help people learn without even realizing. They can take the form of escape rooms, card & board games, interactive audio + video, and more!

Available as: Digital, Multimedia, Physical / Tabletop

Activities are micro learning building blocks. They help build a skill, simulate scenarios, and challenge participants to apply learned knowledge. Activities include digital exercises, video & audio interactions, scenario challenges, and more.

Available as: live or asynchronous; in-person, online or hybrid

Edutainment Content

Edutainment combines education & entertainment. But what does that look like? Social content that serves as both marketing & training material; educational brand activations; team meetings as TV productions; video explainers, & much more…

Available as: live events, video & audio

FAQs

What are you? An edtech company?

Not quite, we’re more. We offer more than hard/software solutions that require tedious force-fitting to make them work.

Inside Wavetable, you’ll find your co-creator, developer, showrunner, and worldbuilder.

What types of companies do you work with?

We work with companies across a wide spectrum of sizes, stages, and verticals. Being agnostic gives us a diverse range of ideas, experiences and perspectives to synthesize.

But it doesn’t mean we work with just anyone.

We focus on partnering with ambitious upstarts and human-centric leaders who recognize people are the key to move their business forward.

If you've read this far, we should probably work together...

Do you do content creation?

We do!

Our team produces content across a wide range of modes and formats from short-form video series to digital toolkits; deep-dive audio companions to print interviews.

We're equally adept with tent-pole campaign work as we are producing tightly-produced packages of material at a rapid cadence.

Check out our Resource center and Project selection to see how we roll.

Tell me about E3 Studio - how does it work?

E3 Studio works on 6-week sprints, with project sizes ranging from XS to XXL projects. We'll scope out the projects and decide their size based on complexity, time and team requirements.

Book a no-strings discovery conversation and we can talk through what you need and provide a quote.

Who’s in the team?

Our Studio team is made up of a group of dedicated Learning Experience creators (a.k.a. LX creators – which also happens to be a new and valuable job category!).

They synthesize deep and broad expertise across live entertainment, higher education, digital media, corporate training, film production, and storytelling.

The team uses a stack of cutting-edge digital tools to deliver work that’s remarkable, efficient, and agile.

How does it work?

E3 Studio relationships typically involve us working closely with 1-2 talent, learning, innovation and/or marketing leaders in your team to plan a backlog of projects, research, activations, and so on. 

We work on the basis of a 6 week sprint cycle, most clients need 2 or more sprints but is completely dependant on the scope of work.

How many people are involved?

We’ll typically deploy either three or five of our LX Creators and Producers. We’ve found this number of team members maximize outputs and creativity, and minimizes communication drag.

It’s probably no coincidence that basketball and soccer - two of the most dynamic team sports around - are always best with this many people on the team.

Are you hiring?

We’re always on the lookout for Tableists in the making. As a team, we’re more into interesting stories and enriched backgrounds than resumé lines.

Tell us about yours here.
