Our projects
Over the years we have worked on a wide range of projects for clients large and small. You can see some examples here.
Our work with leading fintech Centtrip has included brand evolution & positioning, the design & build of their content managed website, the design of various marketing assets & the roll out of a customer support solution using our Malcolm! customer service platform.
We’ve worked with On Track Retail on numerous projects that have included visualising product propositions, designing customer software flows & end to end interface design.
We’ve been working with retail/entertainment game changer Outernet since their inception in 2018.
Projects have included brand evolution, the design & build of their content managed website plus various assets, digital tools & initiatives, some of which use our Malcolm! customer service platform.
In 2021 we designed & built a brand new content managed website for Just Eat’s Flyt division.
We rebranded payment focused fintech Freemarket as well as designing & building a new content managed website. We also gave their payments application a new look.
We evolved the brand of ORIIUM, a provider of data & application solutions delivered via channel intermediaries & also designed & built a content managed website.
In the heart of London’s West End, Chateau Denmark is a hotel experience like no other and is due to open in 2021.
We designed & built the pre-launch Phase 1 & full launch Phase 2 websites. As well as being fully content managed the websites also integrate with various marketing, CRM & inventory management systems.
We have worked on several customer servicing applications for Barclays. These include a desktop application used by personal bankers in Hong Kong and London to verify the identity of high net worth individuals (interfaces with Nuance voice biometrics), internal staff facing ChatBots that use AI to automate routine tasks and anti-fraud management tools that enable Barclays and Barclaycard staff to analyse and spot trends in customer reported Phishing emails.
Acknowledgement has a long heritage of working in the insurance space and we work with several major insurance brands including QMH which is part of Aviva.
We worked with the internal QMH product, marketing and technical teams to reimagine and redesign the customer facing Quote & Buy, Onboarding, My Account & Claim Management journeys.
When working with esure’s product and technical teams we used a start up style approach, to rapidly workshop and visualise possible customer facing products & propositions.
At the same we were able to advise technical development approaches which matched the desire for rapid time to market with the constraint of legacy systems, large data sets and no possibility of downtime.
For 4 years (2012-2016) we designed, developed & operated EDF Energy’s customer sales & servicing platform. This included the end-customer sales and self service platform as well as the more comprehensive system used by call centre staff.
This work drove a massive digital transformation at EDF Energy and involved a large amount of solutioning, legacy system integration and high availability 24/7/365 hosting and performance management.
Digital Cinema Media (DCM) is the UK’s largest provider of cinema advertising. Their cinema customers include Odeon, Vue, Cineworld, Curzon, Everyman and many smaller cinemas.
To provide more complete data to advertisers we designed and built a real time audience attendance application which their cinema customers use to report attendance figures. As you’d expect it consumes and publishes data from/to various internal DCM systems and provides comprehensive management reporting.
Confidential
A lot of the work we do is confidential so we can’t feature it on our website.
