Change will happen.
By design or by disaster - you get to choose which.
Sustainability as we know it is not fit for purpose.
Because the way we’ve been thinking about sustainability for business is all wrong.
We need to go back to thinking about it like its dictionary definition, which is: “the degree to which a process or enterprise is able to be maintained or continued”.
Sustainability is more than reporting and compliance. It’s not about the tactics we add on at the end - it’s about the strategy we begin with.
A real-world approach to sustainability is about securing future certainty. Which at its core, is actually just sound strategy.
Most sustainability approaches are still rooted in ‘business as usual’, treating it as an add-on, not integral to the core business.
Sustainability is more than reporting and compliance. It’s not about the tactics we add on at the end - it’s about the strategy we begin with.
It’s no wonder emissions are still rising and we’re not making global progress on the UN SDGs.
It’s time to get wild.
Business as usual is dead.
We need to evolve quickly to outlast it.
Shall we chat?
LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION
We're a strategy consultancy who gets that we can't tackle tomorrow's problems with yesterday's thinking.
And that playing on with our heads in the sand isn't strategic or commercial at all.
Wild-Built is here to help you become genuinely future fit.

Hello, we’re Adam and Melissa.
Hello, we’re Adam and Melissa.
As ex-‘Big Food’ corporate types, we used to be ‘business as usual’. Now we know better and we’re here to help other businesses be better too.
We bear a wild mix of strategy, ESG, innovation, brand, sustainability and systems thinking skills. It means our approach is uniquely aligned what’s to come, not just ‘what’s been before’.
Those needs mightn't look the same as today. The bold who lean into this will create their first-mover advantage.
For all our sakes.
MORE ABOUT US
You get to decide what comes after ‘business as usual’.
Being bold and innovating like the future matters - and not being wooed by quick fixes and silver bullets - will take guts, determination and a good dose of humanity.
If we don’t get wild we’ll get left behind.
Ready to create a business that aligns with real-world future needs?
"Mel is so generous with her time and knowledge. I'm receiving far more benefit than what I know I'm paying her. I feel as though learning about my business has become a hobby for Mel as she is so interested to ensure she captured my purpose for existing.
Through our conversation she was convinced that my lack of clarity and strategy was holding me back... and that really bit me! I don't want to be held back, so I knew I had to have this piece of work completed.
I'm VERY cautious of who I work with. I'm hard to impress and.a tough critic. i expect a lot from people and am often disappointed, Mel has been so generous with her knowledge, time and expertise, which I will forever be thankful for."
- Julia Ewert, Sales and Negotiation Expert
"Kind Coffee has been working with Adam for many years, across numerous projects for innovation, product concepts and manufacturing processes. His input and industry knowledge has been extremely valuable to our business’s success. He is collaborative, flexible and very easy to work with. Adam’s background and experience brings together a combination of technical knowledge and strategic thinking which enables us to work with him beyond project focus, especially bringing a sustainability lens to ensure long-term benefits.
I would highly recommend Adam to anyone seeking an industry specialist who can facilitate transformation within an enjoyable working environment."
- Jules Gardner, Kind Coffee Co
"Melissa provided a level of detail and polish we have not experienced before with other consultants, Melissa is a pleasure to work with, she adapted our thinking and extracted the engagement, understanding and results we were after.
We are very happy with the results to date, but more importantly we are thinking more strategically about our brand and our values as a company. We have a greater appreciation for how we project ourselves in the marketplace. Land Solution Australia see this as just the start of a longer journey with Melissa to develop and launch new product and service with polish and consistency that give us the best chance of maximising results for our business."
- Lee Hellen, Managing Director Land Solution Australia, Founder Kurloo Technology
"Melissa is 100% values-led and has inspired me in so many ways. Her emphasis on ethical marketing is a must-have for any business owner looking to "do the right thing" when it come to doing business."
Melissa has been one of the key players who have helped changed the way I think about what is possible within my business, and - as a result - it is not at all hyperbolic to say that Melissa has changed my life. Thank you, Melissa!"
- Kim Marsh, The Open Book Company
"Having know Mel for some years and understanding her passion for assisting businesses with strategic branding, was delighted when she agreed to be a key speaker on this topic. And she didn't let us down. Many in the room were solo operators, or small office principles and Mel delivered a talk that was relevant and engaging to the audience. The 90 minutes seemed to short."
- Jim Roddy, Managing Partner and Business Sales Specialist, Transworld Business Advisors
"I engaged Melissa Packham to come and speak to my community of 500+ entrepreneurs from around SE Asia and Australia on "Why you must scare some customers away: Walking the talk as an ethical, conscious business" - it was not an easy topic to attack, but Melissa created a very engaging, thoughtful presentation - and everyone felt very inspired afterwards.
I recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a brand strategist or speaker in this space, you won't be disappointed."
- Chris Edwards. Entrepreneur, Founder, Mentor and Podcast Host Launchpad

"Melissa very successfully helped my colleagues and me identify and challenge our business paradigms that were no longer relevant. As a consequence, she did much more than just rebrand our business. She facilitated bringing alive a refreshed clarity on our "why". Yes, we all like our new name, but we are benefiting from our refined and custom purpose and mission."
