Aside from our day-to-day online innovation processes, we hold Streative Live Lab sessions in major cities all over the world and in every kind of space. In 2011, Streative purchased and renovated an 18th century Manor House in France to support this growing service. In this off-site, sister space to our Amsterdam HQ, we host offline Live Lab workshops for our International clientele, who have helped us prove this model works. Manoir du Moulin also operates as a luxury B&B.  Since its opening in 2012, MDM has consistently held the # 1 spot on Trip Advisor for the Pays de Loire region in France and been honored with awards of Excellence by iEscape, Trip Advisor, Le Figaro and the London Times.

Streative has created the brand story, identity and all marketing collaterals including the website for HiS provider; Populus Global Solutions. Streative introduced a quick turn-around, Live Lab concept for the design of the brand which is a co-creation methodology on site at Manoir du Moulin. Six creatives, the client, industry professionals and a 4-day, intensive creation process led CEO Tristan Rutter, to state 'Streative's Live Lab process was the most monumental week in the history of the life of the brand'.

Nike Women came to Streative to ask for help to crack the future strategy of their business. Sales in this defining category were faltering and they needed to understand why. We were enlisted to help craft a future plan. As a first step we collected insights from our female Moles and Mavens across 4 continents. We then published a hugely popular Nike 'Web of Women' Molezine detailing not only our insight findings but designing next step insight-to-action brand, product and service concepts.  We then held a series of Live Lab workshops to unpack our findings. Streative's Makers and Mavericks (top female designers, strategists, expert fitness gurus and concept thinkers) delivered a next step plan that became the roadmap for Nike women for the following three years.
