ACNE London Joins the Government’s Roster of Communication Specialists

ACNE London, the creative consultancy and a Deloitte business, has been named as a supplier, under the parent company of Deloitte LLP, on the Crown Commercial Service's Communications and Marketing Framework.

Last year the Government announced a Communications Marketplace for marketing and communications services to help UK government and public sector bodies run public service campaigns.

Having qualified to join the framework, ACNE London will be able to respond to briefs that fulfil the government’s growth plan to ‘Build Back Better’ since the pandemic. This extends Deloitte’s already strong relationship with the government as ACNE London brings its creative expertise to offer additional solutions to government challenges.

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2020/21, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.04bn - supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

ACNE London’s managing director, Annie Gallimore, has a wealth of experience in working with Government Services in her previous role as managing director of ENGINE, overseeing the group's Government relationships. Work included campaigns for NHS Blood & Transplant (Missing Type), DIT (Exporting is GREAT), The Cabinet Office, DWP, and Fire Kills.

Now at the helm of ACNE London, a creative consultancy that combines art and industry to create transformational ideas for global brands, Annie said on driving forward its government relationships: “Being on this roster gives us the opportunity to share our sizeable expertise of government communications. Our unique business offering means that ACNE London is perfectly poised to bring our creativity to behaviour-changing briefs.”

ACNE London’s chief creative strategy officer, John Crowther, further complements Annie’s experience in the sector, having previously headed up strategy on campaigns for the Army, RAF, Royal Navy, HMRC, DIT, DWP and the Cabinet Office.

John commented: “We’re a team with a huge depth of experience in delivering effective campaigns for both the private and public sector.”
