You might not know what you need yet— and that’s okay

A black and white cat called Sweep

Scaling a game studio is rarely linear. People challenges don’t come with neat labels. You might be navigating team burnout, struggling to hire right, or wondering how to scale your culture before it slips away. That’s where Wise Cat comes in.

We don’t just drop in with off-the-shelf solutions. We partner with you to diagnose what’s really going on - then design the path forward.

Step 1: Clarity

We start with a conversation. What’s working? What’s not? Where does it feel heavy?
Sometimes the problem is leadership gaps. Sometimes it’s culture drift.
Often, it’s a mix of things you’ve been carrying for too long.

“Most founders know something feels off—they just don’t know where to start. That’s my job.”

Step 2: Strategy

Together, we shape the solution. Not a checklist—a practical plan built around your studio’s needs, scale, and creative DNA.

This might look like:

  • Ongoing strategic advisory for you and your leads

  • A culture framework that supports sustainable growth

  • A people plan to guide hiring, structure, and retention

  • Help navigating change, growth, or restructure

  • A clear-eyed review of inclusion, equity, and leadership practices

Step 3: Support

We stick with you.
You won’t get a PDF and a wave goodbye. Wise Cat works alongside you—quietly, strategically, helping you lead with confidence and build the kind of studio others want to stay in.

The Outcomes

What you’ll gain from working together:

  • Clarity around what’s holding your team back

  • Confidence in how to lead your studio forward

  • Tools and language that make culture scalable—not just aspirational

  • A trusted thought partner who’s been there, scaled it, and still cares

Not sure what you need? That’s exactly the place to start. Let’s talk. No pressure—just possibilities.

We offer strategic People & Culture solutions designed specifically for game studios. Whether you're a scrappy start-up or a fast-scaling team, we meet you where you are - and build for where you’re going.
