Patternmakers is located in Darlinghurst, Australia on Level 3, Hub Hyde Park, 223 Liverpool St. Patternmakers is rated 5 out of 5 in the category and product development in Australia. Patternmakers is a research agency dedicated to supporting cultural organisations and not-for-profits become ‘insightful institutions’, so they can deliver even more impact in the world. Data is hailed as ‘the new oil’, but many cultural and community organisations lack the skills, systems and resources to use evidence in their marketing, fundraising and investments. The team at Patternmakers is trained in finance, economics, market research and sociology, and they have a knack for making research engaging and useful! They have a five-part framework for becoming an Insightful Institution, and it’s called the five: ‘I’s: Information, Ideas, Impact, Investment and Innovation. They’ve helped cultural organisations like the Museum of Contemporary Art and Australian Theatre for Young People to reach more people, secure millions of dollars funding and do even more good in the world.
