Featured Work
The outsize impact of making Small Bets
A lot of people are scared of work in progress. Most big firms don’t like iterative work, instead only focusing on the most polished delivery - which you usually end up waiting for. And paying for.
Ultimately, for people who unlock growth, it’s about getting things moving. Because you learn more by doing - and even more by starting.
E3 Studio enables you to put multiple things in motion, and do more with less.
Together we’ll make small, smart bets that add up to more than the sum of their parts.
We’ll deploy an agile team of Wavetable LX Creators, designed to integrate into your culture and workflows.
Our setup uses both Microscope and Telescope: Vision and Operations; Getting it Done; and looking ahead at What's Next.
Before & After
Kickstart a transformation. Make it engaging, connected, and magical.
Interconnected and integrated projects mean we can find hidden efficiencies and maximize what’s possible.
Develop IP, initiatives, and new businesses that can stand alone or with each other.
E3 Studio is designed to plug into your existing operations with minimum fuss. We also integrate with hundreds of tools - from Zoom to Zapier, Powerpoint to Premiere.
Our studio team brings creative flair and diverse thinking from the worlds of branding, entertainment and media, all underpinned with best practices in learning science.

Refine & Prototype
You’ll link up with a dedicated E3 Studio 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.
Build & Launch
We’ll design, build and launch - going from concept to live in no more than 90 days (and for smaller projects, far less).
Whichever route you take, you’ll get access to our team, tools and methodologies every step of the way.
And once everything is shipped, we’ll run a full retrospective with you and the team.
FAQs

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.
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.
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.
