What Work & Co does

Work & Co is a digital product agency founded in 2013 in Brooklyn that designs, develops, and ships enterprise-grade digital products across web, mobile, and omnichannel commerce for global brands. Its service stack spans product strategy, UX/UI design, full-stack engineering, platform engineering, design systems (Skapa for IKEA, Haskell for PGA TOUR), and increasingly generative AI implementation. The firm operates with a senior-heavy, fully dedicated staffing model across 8 global offices in the US (Brooklyn HQ, Portland, Atlanta, Los Angeles), Brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro), Serbia (Belgrade), and Denmark (Copenhagen), totaling approximately 467 people of which nearly half are engineers and developers.

The company's revenue model is project-based professional services with custom-quoted engagements, anchored by long-tenured enterprise relationships that the firm reports constitute the majority of revenue. Marquee clients include Apple (Today at Apple, Cannes Grand Prix and Titanium Lion), IKEA (Skapa design system, 4x e-commerce growth in 3 years), Epic Games (Fortnite Party Hub and Epic Games Store, $680M direct revenue year one), Pfizer (Health Answers generative AI product), Aesop, Marriott, Nike, Google, Disney, Gatorade (CES Innovation Award), Lyft, and Celanese (Chemille AI materials platform). Work & Co also builds proprietary AI tools — CodeSail for AI-accelerated backend code delivery and TestPilot for natural-language functional testing — and operates an internal agentic AI workflow methodology integrated with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, OpenAI Codex, and Adobe Firefly.

In January 2024, Accenture acquired Work & Co and integrated it into Accenture Song (formerly Accenture Interactive), the parent firm's AI-enabled enterprise reinvention platform. The company retains its brand identity and operates under Accenture Song's global enterprise sales network while maintaining partnerships with Microsoft, Adobe, NVIDIA, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are custom-quoted by scope, team composition, and duration.

• Huge: Digital agency specializing in product design, experience, and engineering for enterprise brands. Closely comparable in service mix (strategy, design, engineering), target customers (IKEA, Target-class enterprise), and Brooklyn/New York heritage.
• frog (now part of Capgemini Invent): Global design and innovation consultancy. Directly comparable on design-led product innovation for Fortune 500, with similar award footprint and consumer-electronics client experience (Apple-adjacent, Apple Vision Pro-era work).
• Ustwo: Digital product studio known for consumer apps and design-led engineering. Comparable in product-design-and-build service model and Apple-ecosystem pedigree (monument valley, WWDC presence), though smaller in scale and more consumer-app focused than Work & Co.

Broad incumbents

• Fjord (Accenture Song): Design and innovation consultancy within Accenture Song. Highly relevant as a sister agency under the same parent; comparable service offering (design strategy, product innovation) and now directly competes for the same Accenture Song enterprise mandates.
• AKQA: Global brand experience and digital product agency. Comparable in scale and Fortune 500 client base, with similar focus on design-led commerce, mobile, and brand-driven digital products, including Ad Age A-List and Cannes-level recognition.

Emerging players

• Pentagram: Independent design firm with strong brand-identity and digital-design pedigree. Partially comparable on the design-leadership and brand-experience dimension of Work & Co's work, though Pentagram is partner-only and more brand-focused with less engineering depth.
