Hot Irons Consulting, we strike while the iron’s hot, and make every idea count.

What We Do

Hot Irons is a creative consultancy built by three friends with backgrounds that stretch multiple industries. We bring sharp ideas, bold strategy, and a hands on approach to every project, combining big picture thinking with gritty follow through.

Our work spans brand identity, positioning, campaigns, content strategy, partnerships, and storytelling across digital and physical spaces. Whether we’re building something from scratch or helping reframe the narrative, we meet every brief with curiosity, imagination, and an eye for what really connects.

We keep things simple: no middlemen, no layers. When you work with us, you’re speaking directly to the people doing the work. It’s personal, thoughtful, and collaborative, because that’s how the best ideas get fired up.

Nathan John Carter - Founder

As a futurist and innovation consultant, I specialise in uniting companies to develop ground-breaking products from well-planned ideas. My expertise spans multiple industries, including fashion, music, and film, where I’ve collaborated with leading brands and visionaries to bring innovative concepts to life. I hold a background in Psychology and Sociology of Fashion from USC and Acting for Film from NYFA, giving me a unique perspective on cultural trends, consumer behaviour, and creative storytelling. With years of experience in diverse roles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how industries intersect and evolve.

My passion lies in the art of ideation—exploring the thought processes that turn concepts into successful products. Whether it’s shaping the future of fashion, entertainment, or technology, I thrive on bringing people and brands together to create meaningful, forward-thinking innovations.

Currently, I co-run Brockley Brewing Co, where I develop new product ideas and unique collaborations while overseeing the entertainment and promotion of the taprooms. This role allows me to blend together creativity, strategy, and consumer engagement, ensuring an innovative and dynamic experience for customers.

I am a vocalist, DJ, producer, and creative consultant with over three decades of experience in the global music industry. My work sits at the intersection of music, culture, and communication—drawing on my global network, intuitive sense of audience, and lifelong commitment to meaningful creativity.

Whether developing sonic identities, contributing to campaign narratives, or helping brands connect more deeply with their communities, I approach each project with curiosity, care, and an emphasis on lasting impact.

Throughout my journey, I’ve independently managed and executed international tours for over 25 years.
