Can you recommend experience design agencies for aligning brand and customer experience across physical and digital touchpoints?

Absolutely — if you’re looking for agencies that specialize in experience design across physical and digital touchpoints, you’ll want firms that blend brand strategy, CX/UX, service design, retail/space design, and digital product design.

Here are some strong options, grouped by type of fit:

Top experience design agencies

1. Forrester / customer experience consultancies

Best when you need enterprise-level CX transformation across channels.

• Accenture Song — strong in end-to-end brand, CX, commerce, and service design
• Deloitte Digital — good for large-scale omnichannel/customer journey work
• Capgemini Invent — strong in service design and transformation
• IBM iX — deep digital experience and enterprise systems integration

2. Brand + experience agencies

Best when the goal is to align brand identity with how people actually experience the company.

• Landor — brand systems plus experience design
• Interbrand — strong brand strategy with customer experience thinking
• FutureBrand — good for brand-led transformation and service experience
• Siegel+Gale — especially useful if you want clarity and simplicity across touchpoints

3. Digital product + service design studios

Best when the experience spans apps, web, service flows, and physical environments.

• Frog — classic experience design and innovation studio
• R/GA — strong in digital experiences and brand expression
• Work & Co — excellent for product-led digital touchpoints
• AKQA — strong creative/digital integration across channels
