Strategic support for immersive, creative-tech and cultural projects
SUUM offers consultancy for artists, studios, cultural organisations and partners working with immersive media, creative technology and research-led storytelling.
We support projects at moments where clarity, structure and strategy matter most, whether that’s shaping an idea, developing a funding application, stress-testing feasibility, or planning how a project can grow sustainably without losing its creative integrity.
Our consultancy draws directly on lived experience delivering immersive projects across arts, culture, games, XR, public space and emerging platforms.
What we support

Clarifying scope, phases and minimum viable versions
Stress-testing ambition against time, budget and capacity
Translating ideas into funder-ready or partner-ready language

Aligning creative vision with economic reality
Identifying when consultancy, partnerships or production models are appropriate

Rates & engagement
We work with three clear consultancy tiers:
Introductory Rate
For early-stage, unfunded or exploratory conversations.
Limited availability. Short, focused engagements only.
Transitional Rate
For projects that have secured initial funding or are moving toward delivery.
Appropriate once a project shifts from speculative to resourced.
Full Rate
For funded projects, organisations, commercial partners and production-level support.
This reflects SUUM’s professional expertise and delivery responsibility.
Rates are confirmed in writing before work begins.
