A new type of consulting.

The Other Consultants was born out of frustration with business-as-usual: the persistently short-term focus of marketing, rampant greenwashing, agency bloat, and a lack of affordable tools to help small business owners operate and communicate profitably, honestly, and with purpose.

So, we built something better.

  • Brand management to balance your short & long-term goals

  • Marketing strategies that are good business strategies.

  • An agile system to keep costs low & wellbeing high

  • A collective of experts with the knowledge & tools to get the job done effectively.

The Other Consultants was founded by Katey Harris. A former lawyer and sustainable fashion business owner, Katey is a big-picture thinker who obsesses over the details. Driven by curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn, her career spans countries and industries — including agency, hospitality, fitness, SaaS, corporate litigation, and retail.

Her broad experience with different sectors, cultures, and legal systems, coupled with studies in brand management, ESG and social impact strategy, international law, and digital marketing, gives her an instinctual insight into what makes brands grow over the short and long term. It also provides a deep understanding of the commercial reality of growing a business and the need to choose both what to do, and what not to do.

Underlying it all is a deep commitment to helping businesses do better for people and planet.

  • Hamish, Director, Assure Safety & Compliance

    Well, what can I say, she nailed it. I was stuck in this stalemate of trying to condense & simplify the message for my business, then along came Katey. The process was seamless, here research was flawless & she understood the industry, our key target markets & our business as if she was one of the founders. The end result was just phenomenal, worth every cent & wouldn't / didn't change a single word. We are now set & ready to forge forward with a clear brand identity & marketing message. Thanks Katey

  • Sean, Sales & Marketing Manager, Elexon

    I had the pleasure of working closely with Katey during her time at Pixel Palace. She's an exceptional marketer with a unique blend of creativity and strategic insight. Katey's dedication, and expertise were instrumental towards the success of our re-branding campaign. Her ability to communicate effectively and adapt to changing circumstances is remarkable, and I highly recommend her for any marketing endeavour.

  • Nella, Operations Lead at Range Commercial

    Through a thorough process getting to know us and our business from the start, Katey has put together a solid brand identity and strategy for us, taking into consideration who we are, our industry, and our short and long-term goals. Katey is highly skilled in providing guidance where needed, but also adapting plans to suit our specific wishes. No matter the questions I have for her, I always feel that I am getting honest, well-informed answers.

  • Brad, Founder, Bears Marketing

    Katey is an incredibly talented and astute Strategic Marketer. She combines a deep knowledge across a variety of industries with a creative edge that leads to highly tangible results for clients and partners.

    Having worked with Katey as both a team member and contractor, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a marketing professional that exceeds expectations.

  • Kirsta, CEO Mutual Muse

    Katey is amazing and really knows her stuff. I got soooo much value from just one one hour conversation with her. I went away from that meeting with a solid list of easily actionable to-dos that have already yielded positive results. I would gladly recommend her for business/marketing consultation.

  • Steve Muscat, Director, Rail Confidence.

    I had the privilege of working closely with Katey whilst she was the strategic marketer and brand strategist at Pixel Palace. She impressed me with her ability to lead us to make decisions, whilst nurturing the balance between our expectations, personal preferences as well as the objectives of her own design team. She successfully guided our company brand to be recognised as a respected and reputable engineering consultancy.

    I have no doubt that Katey will continue to flourish in her future endeavours. She is not only a valuable asset to any team, but also brings a positive and collaborative spirit to the design team.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Katey for to direct the branding of any company.
