About
Peter Corbett is a founder, creative technologist, and digital agency builder with a deep passion for blending technology, storytelling, and brand experience. He founded iStrategyLabs in 2007, starting from a small team and growing it into a respected digital innovation agency known for merging data, interactivity, and experiential campaigns.
Over the years, Peter led iStrategyLabs through rapid growth—taking on larger clients, building a creative culture, and pushing boundaries in real-time marketing and content-backed experiences. His leadership matured the business operationally, making it acquisition-ready while maintaining a sense of experimentation and agility.
Today, Peter advises creative founders and agencies on growth, positioning for acquisition, and scaling creative-technology hybrids. His understanding of agency economics, culture, and buyer expectations offers a rare bridge between creativity and corporate acquisition dynamics.
“I’ve always believed that the best work comes when strategy, tech, and culture are aligned. Exiting doesn’t mean giving up control — it means giving your mission a bigger stage."
