Accenture has agreed to acquire Work & Co, a global digital product company that blends design, technology, and innovation to help companies create breakthrough products and experiences.
The acquisition reinforces how continued investment by Accenture Song—the world’s largest tech-powered creative group—is creating new ways for its clients to grow while meeting their customers’ ever-evolving needs, a statement said.
Founded in 2013, Work & Co has earned multiple honors for digital products it strategized on, designed, and developed, including Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards, Time’s Best Inventions list, and CES Innovation Awards. Work & Co has also been recognized by Forbes as one of the “Most Consequential Agencies” in business.
David Droga, CEO at Accenture Song, said: “Game recognizes game. I have admired Work & Co’s client work, distinct model, and strong leadership for years. It’s little wonder they are widely considered as one of the world’s very best digital product companies. So, as Song continues to grow significantly, we will continue to bring more and more tech expertise and creative excellence into our Song family.”
Mohan Ramaswamy, Founding Partner at Work & Co, said: “Ten years ago, we envisioned a new model bringing design and technology together—embracing the notion that the best digital products and experiences not only drive value and critical outcomes for clients but make people’s day-to-day lives better too. With Accenture Song, we share a like-minded belief in the power unlocked by pairing creativity and technology. It’s energizing to look towards a future of collaborating on work powered by the unmatched level of scale, intelligence, sector expertise, and innovation found at Accenture Song.”
Headquartered in New York, Work & Co’s nearly 400 employees across the United States, Europe, and Latin America will join Accenture Song.
