Blending creativity, digital and data to better engage with consumers.

The acquisition strengthens the ability of Accenture Interactive, part of Accenture Digital, to create and deliver integrated customer experiences to brands in the UK and beyond.

“As part of Accenture Interactive, we will dramatically enhance our ability to offer best-in-class creativity and digital delivery.” said Ben Bilboul, CEO at Karmarama. He continues: “GP Bullhound have been a great advisor, their strong expertise and relationships in the sector proved invaluable.”
