Gyro

What Gyro does

Gyro is a global creative ideas shop headquartered in London, United Kingdom, founded in 1981 and operating with approximately 600 creative professionals distributed worldwide. Positioned within the dentsu network, one of the world's largest advertising and communications conglomerates, the firm serves enterprise B2B and global brand clients across multiple verticals including automotive, retail/consumer goods/restaurants, financial services, healthcare, high technology, media and entertainment, nonprofit, and travel and hospitality. Its go-to-market is enterprise-focused and direct, with case studies spanning marquee names such as Six Flags, Volvo Trucks, KFC, Siemens, Under Armour, Signify (Philips), and Denny's.

The company's core offering is organized around customer experience and creative delivery, combining consulting and business operations, experience and product design, engagement and loyalty, platforms and engineering, and analytics and insights. Underlying technology includes proprietary platforms Merkury (enterprise customer experience and data-driven personalization) and LoyaltyPlus™ (loyalty program management), integrated with core partner ecosystems including Adobe, Salesforce, Google, AWS, and Snowflake. Thought leadership is anchored by the CX Imperatives research franchise, a recurring global consumer survey covering 2,500 respondents, which functions as a content and data asset supporting client engagements.

Gyro monetizes primarily through professional services and consulting engagements for customer experience transformation, digital strategy, and implementation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is typically quote-based for enterprise B2B contracts. Distribution leverages direct enterprise sales backed by dentsu's global client relationships. Recent activity signals ongoing expansion into AI-augmented capabilities through partnerships with Treasure AI and Uniphore, deeper industry-specific solutions built on Adobe Experience Cloud, and continued vertical buildout including B2B, supported historically by the 2018 acquisition of B2B International.
