01 Services
One team, from the first question to the version that ships next year.
Strategy, brand, experience, technology, media and growth are usually bought from different firms and stitched together afterwards. GDS holds them in one practice, so the reasoning behind a decision is still in the room when that decision has consequences.
You are not obliged to buy the whole thing. Plenty of work starts as a single piece — a rebrand, a rescue, an audit, a shoot — and grows from there because it made sense to, not because it was scoped that way.
