• Barrows (Accenture Song): Retail brand-experience and store-design agency now part of Accenture Song, serving fashion, beauty and lifestyle clients with design and implementation services. Highly comparable in customer mix and creative-led retail design services to Impact.
• King Retail Solutions: US manufacturer and designer of custom retail displays, fixtures and store environments for brands and retailers. Comparable end-to-end design-and-make capability to Impact, particularly around in-store fixtures and merchandising solutions.
• WD Partners: US-based retail design, strategy and execution firm serving global brands across store planning, prototype design and rollout. Directly comparable to Impact as a B2B retail design-and-build partner for enterprise clients.
