Who We Are ERA-co is a global place consultancy made up of data scientists, strategists and experience designers who lead transformative strategy to shape cities, neighborhoods and destinations to positively impact the lives of people and the places they inhabit. With offices in New York, Melbourne, Sydney, London and Dubai, our global ambitions have only just begun. Our clients & projects range from branding single residential buildings to positioning and leading experiences of major urban masterplans, mixed-use developments, to globally famous civic places. While the work is diverse, they all start from a singular belief; that transformative placemaking has the power to advance humanity.

Alignment with ERA-co Values We’re a small team with big ambitions. We are committed to building a culture dedicated to personal growth and individual expression. Certain attitudes define how we work and are important in what we seek for our culture: //HUMAN FIRST – Champion the End User We communicate with clarity, free from jargon, to stay in line with real people. We do not get bogged down in the rhetoric. We uphold placemaking as a deeply human endeavor that belongs as much on the street, as it does in the boardroom. //PROTAGONISTS – Ask Beautiful Questions We champion those with a point-of-view, rather than judging, ridiculing, or side-stepping those who speak up. We encourage every colleague to ask the hard questions, bring the provocative perspective, and dig for the truth. //COLLABORATIVE – The Best Ideas are Co-Authored We are high on talent and low on ego. With such diversity of experience and talent, we know the work is sharper and more resolved the more people we invite into the process. //CURIOUS – Broaden Perspectives Place innovation requires an insatiable hunger to stay ahead of culture. We keep a constant global radar to push through complexity and discover new solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges. //GRITTY – Preserve for the Sake of Transformative Placemaking We roll up our sleeves and dive right in, driving every problem with passion and gritty determination. It is not about being the smartest in the room, but rather staying the course, fighting for ideas, and seeing the long game through.
