Case / Tinkr / 2026
The work was always meaningful. Now it's visible.
Insights, strategy and a new website for a Norwegian consultancy working across the public, private and humanitarian sectors. Built on who Tinkr already was, and made clear for the people who need to trust them.
01 / The starting point
They asked for a shared DNA, and a website that could carry it.
Tinkr came to us at a turning point. Three sectors, several continents, and a track record to match. What was missing was a digital presence that showed it. So before building anything, we started with the roots.Tinkr came to us at a turning point. Three sectors, several continents, and a track record to match.

The ceiling
77%
of the clients we surveyed had found Tinkr through a referral or their network. Just one through the website.
02 / What we found
Clients valued something the website didn't show.
We started by listening. A pattern appeared. Clients valued how structured and reliable the work was.

Both were true. The website mostly showed this one.
03 / The alignment
Three sector teams, one direction to act on.
We brought the teams together in another workshop and let the insights lead a structured decision: which position to lead with, where the tone should land, and which differentiators hold. All three landed in the same place.We brought the teams together in another workshop and let the insights lead a structured decision: which position to lead with, where the tone should land, and which differentiators hold. All three landed in the same place. It wasn't a new identity. It was one they'd been living for years, now named and shared.

“We are more, if not completely, aligned, and we have a clearer structure, direction and way of thinking about how we develop and use the website as our public face: how it shouldn't do everything, but do some things really well, with the user's perspective and logic.”

04 / The work
What Tinkr already was, made clear and usable.
Roots: one strategic foundation, organised as WHY, WHO, WHAT and HOW. Build: the new tinkr.no, from structure and copy to design, Webflow development and SEO.Roots: one strategic foundation, organised as WHY, WHO, WHAT and HOW. The strategy that leads Tinkr's communication: position, messaging and tone of voice. Build: the new tinkr.no, from structure, wireframes and copy to design, Webflow development and SEO.

Roots / How
How it sounds.
“The new site gives our clients and partners a clearer and more complete picture of us. We can now show who we are, what we deliver and what makes Tinkr unique in a simpler way, driven by what users need, with a design that reflects our values and profile.”

“Our services, our expertise, our partners and clients and our past projects are more visible, which makes it easier to present ourselves to new clients and partners and to make contact.”

The handover
Built in Webflow, so Tinkr can run the site themselves.
Everything that changes often lives in the Webflow CMS: cases and projects, colleagues, courses, frameworks and tools, client quotes, partners and logos, offices and countries.
For the handover we wrote a detailed guide, How to keep tinkr.no up to date: where things live, how to add a case or a colleague, how to publish a change, and what to leave alone.
“Just as important is that we can maintain the site ourselves. We easily add new cases and update content as our work evolves.”

05 / What changed
From a site they rarely showed, to something they're proud to share.
Practically: a website that explains what Tinkr does to people who have never met them. Strategically: a position that matches what Tinkr has already proven.Practically: a website that explains what Tinkr does to people who have never met them, in the language decision-makers need to assess risk and approve budgets. Strategically: a position that matches what Tinkr has already proven.
It was always there. Now it's visible.

Note / Naming to be confirmed with Tinkr
The website is the part you can see. The real value is underneath: a shared foundation that shows what Tinkr is capable of, to exactly the people who need to see it.

07 / Where this could begin for you
Not sure whether you need a website, a new story, or a smarter way of working?
We always start with the roots. Sometimes that turns into a full strategy process. Just as often it turns into a conversation, a few questions, and a clearer brief for the thing you were already planning.
