What Acrylicize does

Acrylicize is a privately-held, London- and New York-based creative studio founded in 2004 that designs and delivers art installations, environmental graphics, wayfinding systems, lighting and digital experiences, curated collections, and global branded schemes for enterprise clients. Its services are organised around three pillars — Inspiration (concept and strategy), Movement (curation and commissioning), and Engagement (activation) — and executed by an in-house multidisciplinary team covering creative direction, design, technical resolution, production, and project management, allowing the firm to take engagements from initial concept through to physical installation.

The studio's revenue model is professional-services-based and project-by-project: engagements are scoped, quoted, and contracted individually, typically as multi-year enterprise programmes with global corporations, real estate developers, and public-sector clients. Pricing is bespoke and varies by scope, scale, materials, and complexity, with no standardised tiers. Customer concentration sits among a roster of marquee global brands across technology (LinkedIn, Spotify, Tableau, Viasat/Inmarsat), consumer goods (Coca-Cola), toys and entertainment (LEGO), financial services (XTX Markets), advertising (WPP), real estate (Urbanest, Quadrant/YY Building, Brookfield Properties), healthcare and life sciences (Dana-Farber, Takeda, Neko Health), education (University of Washington), and government (Abu Dhabi DMT). Multi-site global rollouts (Spotify across 19 locations, LinkedIn across three continents, WPP across 16 projects) are a defining feature of the engagement model.

Acrylicize differentiates on the strength of its 20-year portfolio, an integrated in-house production capability, and B Corp-certified positioning. Operating geographies span the UK, Continental Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, delivered through studios in Bethnal Green, London and Brooklyn, New York. The firm holds no external funding, operates as Acrylicize Limited (registered in England and Wales), and is led by Founder and CCO James Burke alongside Global CEO Paul Arad.
