Wealth at Work group – a leading financial wellbeing and retirement specialist has acquired employee engagement and pension communication specialist, Design Consulting Limited (trading as “Landscape”), an award-winning agency based in Southwark, London.
Following this, Landscape acquired London-based creative agency MakingGiants, formerly known as Ferrier Pearce to expand its digital communication services and will trade as “Landscape”.
David Cassidy, Chief Executive Officer of the Group comments; “We have had increasing demand for digital communications from large corporates and it is important we are a one stop shop for all requirements. We already deliver financial wellbeing and retirement services to millions of employees and pension scheme members and will continue to innovate to remain at the forefront in delivering these services to companies and occupational pension schemes alike. As client demand increases for digital services, we continue to invest in this area.
Landscape already have a great reputation in our market, particularly in supporting occupational pension schemes. They bring a wealth of knowledge utilising client data and technology, as well as designing engaging content to provide effective digital communications, tools and interactive websites to drive employee and member behaviour, creating good learning experiences.
Acquiring MakingGiants means that Landscape has increased their capacity already. This opportunity helps them to build on their existing capability to ensure we continue to deliver digital communications in an ever-changing digital world.”
He adds, “Using state of the art digital services will always bring job creation and wealth to the city of Liverpool where we are headquartered.”
These acquisitions follow recent announcements made from the Group with the acquisition of technology design and build firm DBD Digital Limited (“DBD Digital”), as well as expanding services into Ireland through the purchase of Employee Financial Wellness to meet growing demand from its numerous global client companies.
