Award-winning journalism meets strategic brand expertise. Guaranteed results follow.

Pickup_andWebb is the collaboration between Oliver Pickup (journalist) and Cameron Webb (brand strategist). We combine authentic storytelling with strategic capability to create thought leadership that reflects your values and drives measurable outcomes.

Our partnership began with The Art of Smart – a multi-year thought leadership programme for Crowe Global that transformed a static annual report into a dynamic multimedia hub, raising brand awareness to 64% in target markets and generating over 30 million social media impressions. That collaboration became the foundation for Pickup_andWebb's approach: discovery first, strategy before content, measurable outcomes from day one.

At Pickup_andWebb, we're intellectual partners who combine journalism (led by Oliver Pickup) and brand strategy (Cameron Webb's domain) to deliver thought leadership that's as impactful as it is insightful.

Our mission is to position you as the voice that shapes your industry. Every organisation has the potential to lead the conversation in its field. We're here to unlock that potential – but only after we've done the hard work of understanding where you can credibly lead, and where you cannot.

Our philosophy

1. Strategy before tactics

We don't start with content calendars. We start with objectives. Two to three measurable goals, co-created with your team, aligned with your commercial priorities. Everything else follows from there.

2. Curiosity without bounds

We dig deeper than surface-level understanding, asking uncomfortable questions and exploring unexplored territories of thought. The best insights emerge when someone is willing to challenge assumptions.

3. Empathetic understanding

Effective thought leadership stems from a deep understanding of your industry's complex ecosystem. We cultivate genuine empathy to create insights that resonate – not content that simply exists.

4. Provocative thinking

We challenge the status quo to spark conversations and encourage fresh thinking. True progress lies beyond the comfort zone of conventional wisdom. Safe content is forgettable content.

5. Pioneering spirit

We're constantly exploring new methodologies and pioneering novel approaches to thought leadership and branding.
