Nesolagus

We believe every meaningful connection starts below the surface.

Nesolagus [neh-soh-lay-gus] named for the rare striped rabbit of Sumatra—an elusive creature that senses shifts others miss, navigating a hidden network of burrows. Like her, we quietly follow the trails that matter and surface stories that don’t just inform—they transform.

We help organizations listen meaningfully to their communities, then transform those voices into people-driven strategic campaigns. Our consent-based approach builds engaged communities, creating a seamless bridge between marketing initiatives and relationship cultivation.

Meet Warren.

In nature, a warren is a network of tunnels where rabbits listen, connect, and find safety. Our Warren is a relationship intelligence suite that creates those same safe spaces through thoughtful, conversational experiences where voices that often go unheard can share their authentic stories.

Inside the Burrow (Our Process)

The work begins in the dark—not with solutions, but with atmosphere. We don’t rush. We don’t script. We listen for vibrations, sense shifts, and follow the paths that matter.

  • 1. We Settle

    We grow quiet first. We listen without asking questions. We absorb the rhythm of a place, a people, a challenge.

  • 2. We Track

    We notice what repeats, what hides, what pulses beneath the surface. Before data, there is attention.

  • 3. We Dig

    We shape the first tunnels—surveys, conversations, media prompts—designed to open paths worth following.

  • 4. We Surface

    We emerge with findings, not guesses. Messages take shape from what we’ve uncovered, not what we assumed.

  • 5. We Scatter & Return

    Some ideas go wide. Others loop back with richer signals. We watch the shifts, measure what matters, and follow new trails.

  • 6. We Reshape the Warren

    We widen what works, close off what doesn’t, and refine the map. Insights become living pathways that adapt as conditions change.

The Legend of the Striped Rabbit

In 1998, a motion-triggered camera in Sumatra’s cloud forest captured a creature most scientists had written off as lost: Nesolagus netscheri, the striped rabbit. Shy, nocturnal, and perfectly camouflaged, it survives by vanishing into a lattice of hidden tunnels—a warren—where every entrance opens into many others.

That image guides our work. The voices that matter most—students, customers, communities—often live below the noise. Warren, our digital warren of questions, builds those tunnels: quiet spaces where people feel safe sharing what they usually keep hidden. From there, the threads connect. Patterns emerge. Something whole takes shape.

The stripes in our mark salute the rabbit’s quiet resilience. The interwoven tunnels in our system honor the refuge it builds.
