Isobar announces global consultancy offering – ‘Transformation Consulting’

Global digital agency Isobar announced the launch of ‘Transformation Consulting’, a Global Consultancy offering to help businesses to define digital transformation strategy and roadmaps to unlock exponential growth. It bolsters Isobar’s strategic capability to deliver experience-led transformation, and ensures excellence in delivery in the end-to-end service offering for clients. The offering was developed as a response to the demand for customer-centric solutions to driving growth and builds upon Isobar’s existing consulting capabilities. 

Isobar has delivered consultancy projects in key markets including the US, China, and Australia, in recent years and bolstered its consulting capabilities through the acquisition and integration of leading Brazilian consultancy, Cosin Consulting in 2016.  The launch of Isobar’s ‘Transformation Consulting’ is a global offering that will provide an end-to-end solution from ‘Consult’ to ‘Delivery’, complementing Isobar’s existing Marketing, Commerce, and Products & Service Design offerings. The global offering will draw from existing resources and includes 275 consultants, strategists and technologists across Isobar’s network in Americas, EMEA and APAC.

Jean Lin, Global CEO, Isobar, explained: “In today’s digital economy, businesses need a new approach to embrace change. Our offering is different because it integrates consultancy with delivery. To be successful, businesses need to design meaningful customer experiences, and our approach is first to start with experience and work backwards through the different parts of the value chain to transform them. This a key part of Isobar’s strategic plan to drive growth for our clients.  Our expertise and best practice is based on the projects we have already delivered in key markets for a number of years, and today the time is right to launch a Global Transformation offering that will support clients that want to create agile roadmaps for growth.”
