IBM Interactive Experience (IBM iX) is redefining the digital agency model, blending strategy, technology and creativity in an innovative approach. By acquiring three digital agencies, IBM iX has broadened its global reach and expanded its capabilities in design, strategy and technology. This move positions IBM iX as a major player in the digital agency landscape.
IBM iX’s unique approach stems from the idea of being a ‘whole egg’ agency. This means it offers a comprehensive service, integrating strategy, creativity and technology. This contrasts with the traditional ‘scrambled egg’ agency model, which separates these elements.
The ‘whole egg’ approach is crucial for the future of digital agencies. It enables a seamless experience for clients, who can now rely on one agency for all their needs. This approach also offers a more effective way to drive digital transformation for businesses.
IBM iX’s move could potentially disrupt the digital agency market. Other agencies may need to rethink their models to compete. IBM iX’s approach could be the blueprint for the digital agency of tomorrow. This could lead to a shift in the industry towards more integrated, ‘whole egg’ agencies.
The success of IBM iX’s approach will depend on its ability to maintain the quality of its services as it grows. It will also need to successfully integrate the acquired agencies into its culture and operations.
