Deloitte offers tech advice in new digi-arm
BIG FOUR accountancy firm Deloitte has joined the digital revolution and will today launch a new division to cater for clients seeking tech advice.
Deloitte Digital, a practice of over 800 employees globally with 100 staff based in the UK, will provide strategy, creative and implementation advice across the areas of mobile, web, social and digital content solutions.
The practice will begin working out of 11 studios across the US, UK, Australia and India, including the mobile agency Ubermind acquired by Deloitte earlier this year, but the firm said it planned to expand aggressively over the coming year.
The move sees Deloitte consolidate its existing operations, which already serve major corporate clients including John Lewis and Transport for London.
“Winners and losers will be determined in the digital revolution. Every one of our clients is impacted regardless of industry and region,” commented Sam Roddick, head of EMEA at Deloitte Digital.
John Lewis commercial director Andrea O’Donnell said: “Our service historically has been delivered in shops. However, because of changes in the way customers are spending their time and money, our service is increasingly enabled through technology and delivered digitally.”
