Insightful collaboration across boundaries.
Nowadays Orange Consulting is the data and strategy practice inside Nowadays Orange, a Dallas creative studio. We help organizations turn what they know into what they can do.
We connect the dots other consultants leave scattered.
Most consulting forces your problem into a single lens — all data, or all strategy, or all org chart. Real problems don’t work that way. We built our practice around the opposite idea: bring the right mix of disciplines to the table, translate between them, and get to insight faster. It’s a method with deep research roots and a very practical payoff — answers that hold up, and plans your team can actually run.
Led by Dr. Alex Garcia Topete
Alex is a researcher, producer, and entrepreneur who has spent 15+ years turning ideas and information into things people value. He holds a PhD in Arts, Technology & Emerging Communication and a master’s in Innovation & Entrepreneurship from UT Dallas, where his research focused on how teams collaborate across disciplines to produce knowledge. On the media side, his work has earned a Lone Star Emmy®, and he has developed for Sony Pictures Television and produced for NPR. He brings a rare combination to every engagement: the rigor of research and the clarity of storytelling.
Bilingual and bicultural, Alex and the team are equally at home working with organizations that serve English- and Spanish-speaking communities.
Our method, in plain terms
We call it transdisciplinary intelligence. What it means for you: we don’t start with a template. We start with your goal, gather the right minds and the right data, and design a path to value that fits your reality — then we make sure your people can keep walking it after we leave.
What guides us
- Clarity over cleverness. If we can’t explain it simply, it isn’t done.
- Value you can act on. Insight only counts when it changes a decision.
- Self-sufficiency. Success is your team not needing us anymore.
- Mission matters. We’re drawn to work that makes our world a better story.
Part of something bigger
Consulting is one arm of Nowadays Orange, a creative studio that also produces award-winning films, series, and branded media. So when your strategy needs a story — a campaign, a brand film, a way to move an audience — the same team can build it.
Backed by research
Alex’s practice draws on published, peer-reviewed research into transdisciplinary intelligence, collaboration, and innovation — not just industry experience. His academic work is publicly indexed and citable:
