As we begin this new chapter - a return to being an independent company - we’re energized by a renewed focus on creative innovation in this new age of intelligence, backed by our partners at Truelink Capital.
Our very own Robin Forbes, Global Chief Executive Officer, and Tiffany Rolfe (she/her), Global Chair and Chief Creative Officer, spoke exclusively to Fast Company about what this inventive move means for us.
“This moment is for us to really accelerate the evolution that we’ve been working on for some time. Both the services that we offer, and the way we’re doing our work,” said Robin Forbes.
“We have the legacy of experience and knowledge, but now we get a little bit of a refresh,” said Tiffany Rolfe. “We can build and support our internal teams in a really modern, agile way that allows us to better address our clients’ challenges.”
In support of this growth, R/GA’s new partners at Truelink have established a $50 million Innovation Fund for a boost in new skill sets and talent and acquisitions for new capabilities, emerging tools, and platforms.
“We’re really excited about the concrete commitments to actually deploying capital in the business to accelerate this growth and this transformation mission that we’re on,” says Robin Forbes. “It’s extra fuel to accelerate some of the things that we’ve been wanting to do, and feel are really important to do quickly.”
This is just the beginning. We can’t wait to take you along as we enter this new chapter.
Forward always.
