About

Interstellar.plus is a strategic growth consultancy specialising in growth architecture, working with founders and leadership teams across entertainment, music, technology, and creative-tech.

We support organisations as they grow and change, particularly at points where existing structures, decision-making, and ways of working no longer support the pace or direction of the business. As organisations scale, complexity increases and progress can slow without clear alignment; both internally and in how the organisation moves into new markets and opportunities.

Our role is to help leadership teams regain clarity and design organisational foundations that support sustainable growth and long-term progress.

How We Work With Clients

We work directly with founders and leadership teams, most often during periods of transition, expansion, or structural change.

We support clients both at a strategic level and through practical implementation, helping teams move from thinking to action while maintaining clarity and coherence.

What guides our work

Rather than a long list of values, our work is guided by a small number of principles that shape how we show up as a partner.

Clarity before action

We prioritise understanding and alignment before movement, so decisions are made with intent.

Structure enables progress

Well-designed organisations move with greater confidence and adaptability as they grow.

Growth is contextual

There is no universal playbook. Strategy and structure must reflect the reality of each organisation and industry.

Partnership over prescription

We work alongside leadership teams, adapting as the organisation evolves rather than delivering static solutions.

Matthew Hoag

Matthew Hoag has spent more than three decades working across music, entertainment, and technology, building and leading projects in international environments.

He began his career in music and entertainment, contributing to large-scale festivals and producing internationally recognised music. Over time, his work expanded into strategic roles within technology-driven companies as they grew, entered new markets, and navigated periods of change.

Working with organisations at different stages of growth shaped Matthew’s perspective on what enables sustainable progress. That experience, combined with long-standing professional relationships across the music, entertainment, and technology sectors, led to the creation of Interstellar.plus.

Today, Matthew leads the consultancy’s work with clients, supported by a wider group of specialists whose expertise spans strategy, operations, creative direction, marketing, and business affairs.

Who We Are As a Partner

Clients work with Interstellar.plus when they want direct thinking, clear communication, and a partner who stays close to the work. We are hands-on where it matters, structured in how we approach decisions, and focused on outcomes that hold up beyond the immediate next step, including growth, expansion, and long-term performance.
