INTERACTIVE GAME FOR
We conceptualise and engineer digital applications to support new business ideas and evolve existing ones.
IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES
Whether for a product or a market, our process of discovery and ideation remains the same. We combine facts, figures and left-field creative thinking to uncover opportunities, find different approaches and generate novel ideas. Discussions with key stakeholders and consumers in structured workshops blend thoughts together. Establishing goals and tying these to resources set the foundations for future roadmaps.
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE
Moulding an idea requires the continual iteration of model, test, evolve. Each iteration focuses on achieving the maximum results in the minimum time at the lowest cost. Ideas are retained on paper as long as possible, discussion is key, evolution is the goal. Digital models are designed to be continually discarded as feedback highlights what’s right and what needs to change. Ideas generate ideas, clarity comes in time and the consumer’s voice must always be front and centre.
AGILE DEVELOPMENT
Everything we do revolves around the notion that it is easier to complicate than to simplify. Whilst simplification takes more upfront resource and is often hard to pin down, the efficiency gains cannot be understated. Applications are more engaging, scalable and cheaper to maintain, whilst user interaction is more sticky, messaging more direct and marketing less wasteful.
EVOLUTION AND SUPPORT
Evolution and change are more important than ever for businesses. Some require gradual evolution, whilst others face drastic new leaps of change. Metrics and socials reveal attitudes, platforms facilitate trialling, technology changes processes, distribution channels and marketing comms. Maximising the advantages of change and managing its ongoing challenges are key to staying one step ahead.

Who We Are
Carter was founded in 2001 by Peter Sage. By drawing on a wide network of digital and design gurus, we were able to deliver high-level projects for many inspirational organisations. At the outset, we focused on premium brands, who demanded high-quality design and attention to detail. As the internet evolved, we were approached to create more complex functional applications. By 2012, we had two large scale platforms for two blue-chip clients, which accounted for the majority of our income. Never a good idea. In early 2013, one of these clients took their digital inhouse and the other switched to a Microsoft off-the-shelf platform and by mid-2013, we were forced to shut shop.
In 2014, we regrouped and began focusing on Schadenfreude, a feature film. This creative experience built on our learnings and teamwork. Now in the final throws of post-production, we have turned back to our digital roots, but this time are focusing on sustainability and the role of technology to enable it. Currently, we are focusing on our project in the reuse/sharing space.
Contact Us
We are currently concentrating solely on our project and consequently are not available for generic marketing or application projects. However, if you have an innovative idea, a sustainable requirement or just want to say hello, please contact us through our holding company Suzo Collective.
