Accenture plc acquired The Monkeys, a transaction announced in May 2017.
The Monkeys operates in Interactive, is based in Sydney, Australia. The Monkeys was Australia's most-awarded independent creative agency, based in Sydney with about 130 staff and campaigns for Telstra, Qantas and Meat & Livestock Australia; design studio Maud was acquired alongside it. Both joined Accenture Interactive to pair creative and brand work with Accenture's digital customer-experience delivery in Australia and New Zealand.
Accenture framed customer experience as the new competitive battleground and used the deal to combine creative excellence with experience delivery.
