The Specialist Works has opened an office in Los Angeles to support its other US offices in New York and Atlanta, as well as develop new business. The new office will be headed up by Richard Downey, TSW’s global new business director and will target specific accounts in the eCommerce, app and gaming sectors. Ahead of the opening TSW has secured business from video games publisher Gameloft, software business Zoho, and Huuuge Casino.
Downey joined TSW’s London team five years ago and was responsible for the opening of TSW’s Beijing office and also helped in bringing international clients like Alibaba Group’s AliExpress and AliPay, Rovio’s Angry Birds gaming app, among others. Downey commented: “As the eCommerce capital of the world, it made perfect sense for us to launch a new office in LA surrounded by the kind of clients The Specialist Works already works successfully for. We have a model that’s interesting to ambitious fast-growth brands. Although our US presence has only been growing for a few years we’ve experienced a hunger for agility; and a trusted partner to expand with internationally.”
TSW’s CEO Martin Woolley added: “Our biggest growth over the next few years will come from the US market.”
