Deloitte acquires The Explainers to form new narrative strategy operating unit
Deloitte has acquired digital communication studio The Explainers in an effort to expand its professional services and strengthen its creative digital practices.
The Explainers – which uses animation, film, installation, infographics, written stories, graphic novels and other media to help clients better explain what they do – will form a new narrative strategy operating unit within Deloitte Consulting’s Customer practice and will have strong links to Deloitte Digital.
Shane Currey, Deloitte national design ead, Matt Taylor (seated) and Nathan Fitzpatrick (standing) from The Explainers, and Frank Farrall, Deloitte customer practice leader.
Deloitte CEO, Cindy Hook, said: “We are experiencing significant demand for our advisory services and will continue to invest in adjacent capabilities that enable our clients to effectively manage complex change. The Explainers are leaders in creating compelling stories that explain complex ideas.
