Meet Our Team
We’re a small core team with big reach.
Surrounding us is a trusted network of collaborators, from researchers to media and brand specialists. We also partner closely with creative agencies, including our go-to friends at Waterfall. And, of course we work as an extension of in-house university teams to shape strategy from within.
We value collaboration, welcome new perspectives, and are always open to new partnerships.
We’re an inspiration business.
You’re stuck on the hamster wheel. Same meetings. Same campaigns. Same LinkedIn voices. Same echo chamber. On repeat.
But you don’t want to repeat. You want more.
You want to know what’s happening in the US, Australia, Switzerland, China, Nigeria. You want to learn from KFC, Under Armour, and EE, as much as from the best universities.
You’re ambitious, curious, restless for inspiration that helps you do things differently.
That’s where Future Index comes in.
For over a decade we’ve been the inspiration engine for Higher Education marketing - famous for our Spark Reports, summits, bold strategy work, and some really big creative ideas.
We curate the best ideas from across the world, inside and outside the sector, and turn them into strategies and sparks you can act on today.
You can’t simply Google what we do.
It comes from a decade of deep sector knowledge, trend intuition, and the Human Intelligence to know where to look - and how to interpret what really matters.
We believe education has the greatest power to change lives. That’s why we exist: to empower you, your team and your institution to see differently, think boldly, and tell this amazing story with the confidence it deserves.
