Who we are

Quantic is the end to end growth partner for global and local brands.

We help our clients to out think, out sell and out perform their competitors.

We are experienced professionals who've held senior positions and consistently delivered results in some of the world's best performing companies.

Headquartered near London, we work globally; current assignments span 28 countries across all 6 continents.

What we do

Quantic is a consultancy that helps clients identify and unlock growth opportunities by developing stronger commercial strategies and the capability to deliver them.

We take a practical and collaborative approach, injecting the energy and commitment required to drive successful outcomes.

We work with some of the world’s biggest brand owners including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Samsung and L’Oréal. We also partner with local brands on a market-by-market basis.

Our point of view

Quantic has proved that commercial growth only happens when people from all the relevant parts of an organisation connect and align around one clear strategy, underpinned by a clear understanding of the growth drivers.

Research shows that the main reason why many companies don’t achieve their growth targets is because on average only 16% of the organisation is clear on the strategy and their role in delivering it.

It’s this point of view that provides the bedrock for all the work we do.

 Why clients choose to work with Quantic
