We have the necessary capabilities, resources, and technologies to address every challenge on the planet. The only thing that’s missing is inclusive consciousness.
When we shift our consciousness and see our common humanity, we naturally insist on opportunity, choice and dignity for all of us. But empathy and motivation is only the beginning.
To truly move from empathy to impact, we must imagine what doesn’t yet exist, stay grounded in what is, connect human to human, and challenge what no longer serves. That’s the work we lead every day.
The world doesn’t change because we fix what’s broken. It changes when someone imagines something better—and dares to build it.
Public is a moral imagination company. We work with leaders who believe the future is something we get to create— not inherit.
We don’t sell strategies or slogans. We design journeys that raise consciousness, expand vision, and unlock the imagination it takes to make something truly new.
Our work moves in two essential streams: – The humility to see reality clearly. – The audacity to imagine what doesn’t exist yet.
We partner with the ones who think differently. The ones who care too much, question too deeply, and won’t settle for the way things have always been.
Because once you learn to see with new eyes, the old rules don’t hold. What once felt impossible becomes obvious. And you begin to create with a different kind of intelligence— the kind that shapes cultures, moves markets, and wakes people up.
This is the work: Not incremental change. Not business as usual with better branding. But bold, conscious design—of stories, systems, and futures that reflect who we really are, and who we’re here to become.
Robert works at the intersection of systems, story, and soul—helping leaders see with new eyes and build what matters most.
For over two decades, he’s moved between the worlds of global business, social innovation, and creative transformation. From Fortune 50 boardrooms to refugee settlements and coastal farms, his work has always centered on one thing: the power of imagination to unlock meaningful, lasting change.
He’s held senior leadership roles at SYPartners, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Blu Skye. He founded his own firm, Tribe Solutions. He’s helped shape bold futures for companies like Starbucks, Walmart, Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, and The Gates Foundation—and co-led community-driven projects in places as different as Uganda, the Philippines, and Costa Rica.
Public is the natural evolution of that journey—a space for leaders ready to reimagine the future, and do the inner work required to build it.
