Multidisciplinary Consortium
Some of the best work happens in the space between disciplines.
Common Threads Group connects strategy, creative direction, capital, and community engagement through three independent firms, Symbia Global Group, Wolf & Pigeons, and VERB WORX, working as one on the ideas worth moving forward.
Bring us your hardest problem.
ConnectWe help good ideas move.
Common Threads Group partners with businesses, foundations, institutions, public agencies, nonprofits, investors, coalitions, and community leaders working on complex opportunities and challenges. Depending on the work, we assemble the right combination of expertise to support:
Strategy + Systems
Strategic planning, systems thinking, organizational strategy, problem solving, research, and development of ideas from concept through implementation.
Brand + Creatives
Brand strategy, creative direction, storytelling, campaigns, visual systems, communications, and high-impact creative execution.
Capital + Impact
Impact strategy, venture philanthropy, investment ecosystems, partnerships, and approaches that connect resources with ideas capable of creating lasting social and environmental value.
Community + Engagement
Community engagement, relationship building, facilitation, outreach, narrative strategy, coalition building, and processes that center the knowledge and experiences of people most connected to the work.
Activation + Implementation
Turning strategy into action through campaigns, initiatives, partnerships, communications, convenings, and practical implementation support.
Why Common Threads?
Common Threads Group exists in the space between those disciplines. The best work happens when strategy, creativity, resources, relationships, and lived experience all inform each other at the same time, not in sequence, not handed off between vendors who've never met. That's the common thread.
Independent expertise. Interconnected practice.
Common Threads Group is a consortium of three independent businesses. For each engagement, we bring together the people, capabilities, and perspectives the work actually requires. That gives our partners access to a multidisciplinary team without forcing every challenge into a traditional consulting model.

Find connections others may be missing
Bring the right people into the process
Develop strategy and creative direction
Align resources and opportunities
Build partnerships and community support
Turn ideas into practical plans
Move from planning to implementation
