“You’ll get much better outcomes.”
“Wade is a brilliant facilitator. The way he conducts his workshops helps guide participants on a journey to build really amazing ideas. His blend of creativity and lack of ego means he wants the best idea to come from the group - not himself. If you get Wade to run your offsite, workshop or ideas session, you’ll get much better outcomes. There are a lot of facilitators around but Wade makes the experience memorable.”
— Jane Palfreyman, Marketing Director, SBS Media
“Honest and effective.”
“If your workplace still thinks good ideas come written on butcher’s paper, then you need to book Wade right now. The Ideas Business sessions, techniques and approach to creativity is honest and effective. Wade presented ‘Brainstorming Is Bullshit’ to Triple J’s team. When the team saw the workshop on the agenda, it’s fair to say the mood was skeptical. By the end of the workshop, everyone was totally onboard and we’ll never stare at empty butcher’s paper again,”
— Ollie Wards, Content Director, Triple J ABC
“The Ideas Business nailed the brief.”
“The Ideas Business nailed the brief for our team’s 2-day offsite. Wade had me at ‘hello’ as we shared a vision of what we believe people are capable of - amongst many things it was creativity! No boring powerpoint, no dread role plays, no note taking - just presence and full engagement. I have never participated in work training that could offer so much personal and team growth. The team absolutely felt the same.”
— Vanya Mariani, GM of Auto Sales, Carsales
“The epitome of an ideas man.”
“The epitome of an ideas man, Wade has continued to delight me with not only the depth of his knowledge and understanding of the job at hand, but also the breadth of fresh and innovative ideas to bring a marketing/comms strategy to life across the variety of platforms that are always with an arms length from him. No challenge is too small for Wade, and while he goes about his business like the consummate professional he is, he does it with a great sense of humour and fun which makes working with him simply a joy. Have a crack - I challenge anyone to stump him!”
— Jack Byrne, Managing Director, Hatched Media

For innovative, fresh and ambitious ideas, Wade Kingsley is your man.”
— Alex Benton, Account Director, Laundry Service
“Our team is now engaged in more critical thinking.”
“Our team at Half Dome have worked with the Ideas Business on a few training sessions so far and definitely plan on continuing the relationship. Apart from being great people, Adrian and Wade bring such an interesting perspective and skillset to training across a wide range of topics that are really under-appreciated in terms of how influential they can be to overall media agency output. Our team is now engaging in more critical thinking, have greater confidence in participating in creative processes, and ultimately are living our value of being constantly curious so much more than before we engaged The Ideas Business. No regrets here!.”
— Joe Frazer, Co-Founder, Half Dome
“We got the clear focus and direction our idea was desperate for.”
“The session was fantastic and in even a short amount of time we got the clear focus and direction our idea was desperate for. With the innate ability to hear key messages from a web of an idea, Wade was able to untangle our thoughts and bring about much clarity and a clear path to allow for greater success.”
— Tim Ryan, CEO, Lord Somers Camp & Power House
“Challenging the status quo.”
“I was looking for a facilitator for a team off site when Wade came recommended to myself from a respected source. Specifically I was after a facilitator to help me with "Breaking The Mould" . Wade delivered on the brief and made the day a memorable one by pushing the team to challenge not just what we do, but why we want to do something which resulted in a new wave of ideas to latch on to. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you want to challenge the status quo in your business and are looking for new ideas to problems or to simply re-ignite some creativity within your business, you need not look further.”
