We've been appointed by the CIPD

We're really excited to have been appointed by the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, to lead and deliver web transformation and digital enablement for the organisation.

We were part of a multi-agency selection process that began in spring 2021, concluding with a competitive pitch.

The CIPD evaluated potential partners on experience working with membership organisations, as well as credentials in website and digital experience, digital marketing competencies, strategic thinking, capabilities surrounding data and insight and use of technology.

We were praised for immersing our teams at each stage of the process and were awarded for our impressive discovery and UX capabilities, delivery process and our clear passion for creating unrivalled digital experiences.

David Cox, Director of Digital & Technology, CIPD said: “Our partnership with 26 is an exciting opportunity to redefine our digital experience and deliver a website which truly meets the needs of our customers today and in the future. We’re delighted to have appointed 26 to support us on our digital transformation journey.”

Jenny Gowans, Director of Research, Policy and Content, CIPD, added: “Creating a new digital presence is absolutely critical for us to be able to better serve our existing users and reach new customers. The experience, expertise and enthusiasm demonstrated by the team at 26 made them the perfect partners to turn our vision into reality."

Our Chief Strategy Officer, Richard Jones, added: “Our central ethos is to “create better” which aligns closely with CIPD's purpose to champion better work and working lives. Our previous collaboration with complex membership organisations such as the Health and Care Professions Council and the Food and Drink Federation puts us in a strong position to drive growth for the CIPD.”

We'll be kicking off the discovery phase this month and running over the next 12 weeks, followed by the full website delivery in 2022.
