Stranger Collective’s partners and writers have a colourful range of strengths and experience between them. Pooling our talents, contacts and expertise into the same ‘pack’ makes for a compelling team.

Most of us met through Stranger magazine, an award-winning bi-monthly creative lifestyle publication we set up in 2004 and ran for 16 issues until September 2007. Offering a flavour of life in Britain that didn’t just revolve around the nation’s capital, the magazine tuned into the alternative and creative side of our culture, presenting a mix of music, film, environment, current affairs, surf, skate and fashion tied together by a distinctive visual style.

Since then the pack has expanded into new terrain, taking in everything from spoken word performance to transcreation in five European languages; underwater film campaigns to festival programmes.
