Roles or disciplines they recruit for
Part and Sum is ten people large, with two key teams: Every client engagement is composed of both technologists and strategists.
Technologists, for example, bring data skills to gain insights and “nerd out on models”, among other things.
The complementary role of the strategists is to help define and prioritize roadmaps. They hire for skills like design thinking, workshop facilitation and research.
Capabilities, methodologies or focus areas
Their approach to consulting is a little different. Their processes are built on the idea that effective marketing strategy must be flexible and iterative. Strategy needs to live and breathe within the business, from software to the minds of creative teams. That’s why they use a process of testing, learning and evolving, set at a cadence that’s sustainable for their clients, so real-world market information can be incorporated as quickly and as often as possible.
Part and Sum offer services across brand strategy, user experience, marketing strategy, marketing technology and tools, and paid media and measurement.
