ADVISIA OC&C Strategy Consultants

What ADVISIA OC&C Strategy Consultants does

OC&C Strategy Consultants (operating in Brazil as ADVISIA OC&C Strategy Consultants) is an international strategy consulting firm founded in 1989, employing 900+ professionals across 15 offices in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Australia, China (Hong Kong and Shanghai), and Brazil (São Paulo and Belo Horizonte). The firm serves four primary client segments: top management of major multinational corporations, leading national companies, private equity firms (spanning mid-cap to transactions exceeding $1bn in enterprise value), and governmental and public institutions. Engagement work is concentrated in seven sector verticals: Retail, TMT (Technology, Media, Telecoms), Consumer Goods, B2B Services, Leisure & Hospitality, Digital, and Advanced Analytics & AI.

The firm's core deliverables are partner-led strategy consulting engagements covering corporate strategy, M&A advisory, due diligence, value creation planning, and post-acquisition strategy. Its technology layer consists of a suite of proprietary analytical tools embedded within consulting engagements: a Pricing Tool that builds optimised price ladders by calculating elasticity, cannibalisation, and pricing headroom; a Promotion Optimisation Tool quantifying volume uplift and pull-forward effects; a Location Tool for portfolio and format optimisation; a Range Optimisation Tool measuring SKU-level cannibalisation impact; and an eCommerce Diagnostic Tool for basket and customer-cohort analysis. The Advanced Analytics & AI practice deploys Tableau, Python, and statistical modelling (Linear Models, Linear Mixed Models) alongside generative AI capabilities, with documented analyses involving up to 4.5bn rows of data. Dedicated analytics leadership includes a Chief Analytics Officer, Global Head of Analytics, Managing Director of Analytics, and Global Generative AI Lead.

The business model is a privately held professional services partnership with no public listing, no parent company, and no venture or private equity backing. Revenue is generated through custom project-based fees across advisory engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is partner-led enterprise field sales supplemented by thought leadership content (annual reports such as Global 50 FMCG, Retail Proposition Index, PE Transactions wrap-ups), industry conference participation (e.g., SuperReturn International), and a referral network within the global investment community. The firm reports a B Corp certification (2025), SBTi-validated Net Zero targets (2024), and approximately 2.1% of global revenue dedicated to pro bono work in FY24.
