AUB x Etch Partnership

Etch is a digital customer experience consultancy that for over twenty years, has helped to reimagine, define, and deliver future state customer experiences for hundreds of organisations globally.

Etch exists to help their people, clients, and partners get further, faster. Accelerating the progression of all and fulfilling undiscovered potential is their reason for being. It's what gets them out of bed in the morning, and it's what keeps them going day in, day out.

Their partnership with AUB is one of many ways they’re living their purpose. By giving their people access to flexible workspaces and industry-standard digital and physical manufacturing equipment in AUB's Creative Lab for Technologies, they’re also giving them permission to be curious, explore new technologies and meet other like-minded people.

Speaking of like-minded people, Etch would love to know more about the wider creative community in the BCP area. Etch are experts in creativity, tech, business and innovation so they might be able to lend you a hand or collaborate in some way!

Etch is built on a foundation of collaboration, and as such it's important for them to build strong working relationships amongst their teams which is why they encourage teams to participate in team building days and retreats. Check out the Etch team in action at a recent away day.
