about
a studio run by an operator.
outhang exists because the same person who advises on a business should be able to build the thing the business needs.
rees cowne
Most agencies have never had to run the business they are advising.
We have. Every day.
outhang is led by Rees Cowne — currently COO of Kruger Cowne, a global talent and speaker agency, and founder of StageSide, formerly TalentZ.
That means the studio thinks like a business first. We know what a booking pipeline costs when it lives in an inbox, what a badly structured website does to enquiries, and how much time a team loses to work a system should be doing for them.
We design, build, consult, analyse and solve — for people and for companies, across operations, design, promotion and marketing.
several hats, deliberately
operator
COO of Kruger Cowne, a global talent and speaker agency. Bookings, contracts, teams, systems and the commercial reality behind them.
developer
The software we ship is written, not outsourced. Platforms, databases, CMS systems, games and mapping engines.
founder
Founder of StageSide, formerly TalentZ — a direct booking platform built from an idea into a live product.
talent agent
Years of representing people, which is where the instinct for brand building for humans comes from.
consultant
Brought in to work out why something is not working, and then to fix it rather than write a report about it.
brand builder
For companies and for people. Positioning, identity and the messaging that has to hold up in a real room.
the name
ideas out further.
outhang: to reach past the obvious edge of a thing. It is the brief we set ourselves on every project — push the idea further than the request did.
