Tangent, the Newcastle and London-based enterprise digital product consultancy, is turning AI hype into business reality with a new investment of £5m in a specialist AI division.
The new AI division has been funded by Tangent’s chairman and director Oli and Theo Green, the brothers behind AIM-listed digital media, marketing, and technology company, and SocialChain owner, Brave Bison. The total investment of £5 million over the next three years also includes cloud computing infrastructure.
The new proposition has been created in response to an overwhelming demand from both clients and prospects, to help them unleash, and capitalise on, the new opportunities made possible by AI, machine learning and automation.
Łukasz Mądrzak-Wecke joins Tangent as Head of AI from WPP agency Wunderman Thompson to lead a cohort of in-house AI architects and engineers, alongside a specialist delivery team.
Based in London and across Europe, with a hub in Poland, they will implement bespoke solutions based on a proposition that merges innovation with pragmatism to deliver real results in the field of AI, giving enterprise-level organisations access to a competitive edge.
Through robust strategic consultancy and practical support, enterprise-level organisations can tap into these AI services in ways that can foster an increase in revenue, drive down operational expenditure, and improve operational efficiencies. This includes use case development to aid
the identification of the areas where AI can help deliver better, more streamlined, or enhanced outcomes for businesses. Alongside the design, build and delivery of tailor-made enterprise AI solutions that address specific and bespoke business challenges.
Leigh Gammons, CEO at Tangent, said: “Like many in our space, we have already been delivering AI projects at scale for a wide range of clients. This new division aims to facilitate the adoption of AI innovation to deliver digital transformation programmes that are effective and have an impact. We may be at the beginning of an AI super cycle, but are well positioned to ensure our clients and prospects can take full advantage of these exciting new technologies through a combination of consultancy and delivery.”
Mądrzak-Wecke added: “At Tangent, we are fuelled by a belief that AI can truly enhance operations, streamline processes, and unlock new growth opportunities for enterprises across all sectors. With a team of highly experienced AI professionals, we are well equipped to design and deliver AI at scale and with purpose; fulfilling specific business objectives, from strategic reviews through to the design and build of proprietary models.”
Madrzak-Wecke and his team will report to Andy Eva-Dale, Tangent’s technical director, and integrate with the wider Tangent team. The new AI services dovetail with Tangent’s existing proposition of helping enterprise clients build future-ready digital experiences, products, and capabilities.
