We’re excited to announce two important strategic developments for our Group.
Firstly, the successful launch of our new UX and technology agency, Kalago Digital, which has been formed through our acquisition of the digital development arm of the London-based creative agency, Pull Digital.
The team brings a wealth of UX, web and custom development experience to complement Design Portfolio’s expertise across corporate communications. Working across digital strategy, UX design and digital development, and leveraging data, insights, CRO and CRM, Kalago is dedicated to solving development and technology challenges, driving optimisation and delivering the best outcomes for clients. Kalago’s clients include Crimestoppers, First Central Insurance and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
Commenting on the launch our CEO, Julie Wilford said,
We are incredibly excited to welcome Kalago into our group. This acquisition builds on our recent MBO and represents another significant milestone in our growth strategy and aligns perfectly with our vision for the future. Kalago’s exceptional talent and innovative solutions will strengthen our capabilities and we look forward to working with Dean and his team to offer even more innovation and value to our clients and drive continued success.
Commenting on the acquisition, former MD of Pull Digital who now leads Kalago, Dean Corney, commented,
Given its strong reputation and vision for the future, we are excited to join the group and embark on this new chapter. There was chemistry and a clear cultural fit from day one, with both businesses building strong client relationships through trust, innovation and creative storytelling and problem solving. With our 20+ years’ experience with UX and technology and meeting demanding data and security standards, we feel Kalago is a natural extension to Design Portfolio’s already powerful digital offering. We can’t wait to get started!
Flathill Group is now Encompass Agency Group
Our second piece of news includes a name change! In light of the Kalago acquisition and in anticipation of future opportunities, we’re equally excited to announce that Flathill Group (the parent company of both Design Portfolio and Kalago) is changing its name to Encompass Agency Group. As we continue to innovate and grow, this change reflects our vision for the future and our commitment to better serving our clients, people and partners.
