About Great State

We’re a strategic digital partner and trusted by large private and public sector organisations to deliver long-term, business-critical transformation through close, collaborative working partnerships.

We help brands to keep pace with today's connected consumer. Today’s ​​consumers have higher expectations than ever ​before - driven by rapid accelerations in technology ​and fierce competition to attract new business in every sector.​​

Meeting those expectations requires different thinking and capabilities than those offered by traditional agencies, consultancies, and tech providers. We partner ​with clients to identify opportunities for growth, deliver them to market quickly, then scale them for the long term.

Digital product innovation - Identifying consumer 'expectation gaps’ across a brand's digital estate and co-creating delightful new experiences to fill them.

Experience design – We will design compelling user experiences that go beyond your users expectations. Whether that’s web, apps, chat, voice or IoT.

Technology and support – We can deliver your vision with scale and pace using emerging tech and enterprise platforms. Then support them with ongoing cycles of optimisation and water-tight SLAs.

Awards and contributions

We have won dozens of awards over our 25+ years in business, a record that reflects our commitment to creativity, technical excellence and measurable impact. Highlights include being named a Finalist in the 2024 Umbraco Awards for Best Custom Solution, a four-time winner at the Digital Impact Awards, and the winner of the People’s Choice vote at the Webby Awards in 2024.

In 2025 our work continued to attract major industry recognition: we secured four awards at the Digital Impact Awards, including the prestigious Grand Prix for our collaboration with Capita and the British Army. Our project with Cox Automotive Europe also picked up recognition at the Shorty Awards, and our long-standing partnership with the Royal Navy has won multiple prizes, most recently at the One Rec Awards and the RADA Awards.

These honours, spanning public sector, enterprise and automotive clients, demonstrate the breadth and consistency of our approach: strategic thinking, elegant design, and robust engineering that win both juries’ and people’s votes.
