A bit about ourselves

We want to level the playing field by equipping impact-hearted brands with the same marketing resources, insights, and tools used by some of the biggest brands in the world. Utilizing them to benefit the many, not just to line the pockets of a few.

What makes us, us?

Founders Story

“Is this all there is?”

It’s that big question that led to the birth of our little agency. Here’s how it all began…

Around 4 years ago, Moh Al-Haifi met Lee Fitzpatrick whilst working on a project together. Both had become disenchanted with corporate hustling and revenue chasing that helped the wealthy at the cost of social responsibility. It was a meeting of minds and together they agreed that it doesn’t have to be that way.

Imagine a world where the primary goal of business is to create positive social change. Or a world where businesses were rated, not on shareholder value, but by their social impact.

It quickly became apparent to Moh and Lee that there were many others that shared their ethos. Not just shared it, were 100% committed to it. As the Zebra Growth message spread both businesses and individuals recognised the true value in what Moh and Lee were trying to achieve and the ranks grew.

Today every client and member of Zebra Growth share an unwavering commitment to the ideology that underpins what we do. Believing in a more conscious business model that is regenerative over extractive is what we all commit to and live by.

We don’t hold all of the answers but together we are in the position to make a difference.

So we’re looking to partner with people – like you – to help us imagine, define, and create a new way of doing business.

Our Manifesto

Capitalism has served us this far but has now become more harmful than beneficial for society. Rising inequality, climate crisis, ego-driven leaders, hustle and burnout culture. Growth for growth’s sake. These are the common business drivers.

“Successful” businesses that are extractive by design.

Our experience within the social enterprise, NGO and high-growth/unicorn worlds, we recognise that there is a gap in tools to allow for effective and ambitious regenerative growth. We view branding and growth as an opportunity to positively impact society and affect the profit driven culture.

We want to support the change in the role of capitalism and business in society today. Instead of a mechanism to maximize profits for the few, we want to support the next generation of conscious leaders placing positive social change and regeneration at the centre.

How can we change a system, where the changemakers aren’t equipped to compete with an outdated business model? Resources and insight are necessary to help them innovate, reach and communicate with their audiences, and win them over at scale.

This is not impossible, with the right support.

We aim on bridging the insight gap between unicorn startups and social impact businesses. Between unicorns and zebras. Between effective, ambitious, lean growth, and purpose, regeneration and humanity.

Regenerative marketing and branding is something we are currently defining. It’s ever-evolving, yet in order for a sound impactful framework to be tailored, there has to be the right intention. Through collaboration and iteration we will find a brand identity that resonates.

We are passionate about working with those individuals and organizations that have the intention to do better, to help others, and to focus on what really matters – the wellbeing of our planet and people. Helping them adopt lean and scalable growth branding and marketing skills, whilst constantly challenging them to think regeneratively results in a brand that they can be proud of.

Now is the time for the good guys to become resilient. It’s time for the change makers to stand up. It’s time for the Zebra to symbolically become the next Unicorn. Together we can drive for change.

With a core value of co-creation, we believe that now is the time to passionately co-create the future of an impact-led economy. We invite you to join us, share your learnings, and express your hopes on how we can best accelerate the transition into an equitable and regenerative economy. Most importantly, we invite you to join us in co-creating and co-learning what this new future can look like.
