travel for the mindKnow And Then is a ‘knowledge momentum agency’ with a social enterprise ethos, committed to the development of open knowledge programs that support public interest agencies and initiatives.  We are committed to journeyism or 'travel for the mind' - using communication strategies and tools to facilitate knowledge momentum: the discovery, distillation and diffusion of experience and knowledge.

Our business is a hybrid, combining:

Data and opinion
Knowledge and experience
Ours and others

Central to the Know And Then approach is a suite of strategies and tools to foster what we call ‘journey learning’. These are based on the principles that knowledge is much more than passive information. Truly useful knowledge is a living, dynamic thing that reflects the commitment to relationship and collaboration by all players.

We don't believe that most people feel they live in an economy, but a society. We don't believe that members, voters and customers think of themselves as consumers, but as people… constantly making life choices.

So, while conventional communication agencies pitch their skill in marketing transactions, we offer our broader experience in cultivating transition.

Useful knowledge promotes change - in social patterns or personal behaviour. And sustained change means authentically engaging people and the peer groups they live among - their communities…
- communities of locality or communities of interest;
- communities of commerce or communities of circumstance.
