About us
Who we are.
We’re hungry for all things new and believe in working in an interdisciplinary way. We watch to see and understand the digital transformation trends shaping the future of commerce and wider society. Markets, consumer habits, user behaviour… they’re all changing at lightning speed. We have deep insights into these shifts, and can use them to develop digital communication strategies that you can then put straight to work for your business. We’re convinced that companies in the process of digital transformation need one thing above all else: a technology partner by their side that can program outstanding solutions in fluid environments using an agile and flexible approach.
We’re more than 50 experts overall, all striving together to achieve new heights of excellence. Each member of our team brings a different field of expertise to the table. And together we have many years of experience realising digital transformation in many different contexts. Be it from a technological, creative or strategic point of view, or specialised in project management or marketing. In 2019 we decided to shift our focus more towards creativity and strategy as well. In direct response to the fact that our digital transformation clients are focusing more and more on the customer centricity of their project and business processes – and ultimately on a seamless customer experience at all their touchpoints.
