02 Why GDS exists
Every handover loses something.
Digital work fragmented as it got more specialised. A brand agency writes the positioning, a design studio interprets it, a development shop rebuilds the interpretation, and a marketing team is handed the result a year later with none of the reasoning attached. The losses are cumulative, and the customer is the one who notices.
GDS is organised the other way round. One practice holds the whole arc — strategy, brand, experience, technology, media and growth — so the reasoning behind a decision is still in the room when that decision has consequences. It is a smaller way of working, and it is the reason clients tend to stay.
