Netherlands founded advertising services firm Dept has bolstered its U.K. business with the acquisition of ShopTalk—the brand and design experience studio, which works with clients such as Arm, Heinz, Innocent and Piëch.

The acquisition of the 15-people strong London business will see the creative practice become co-branded as ShopTalk/Dept and continue to operate under its founders James Wood and Paul Ferry.

ShopTalk began operating in 2017 and recently worked on an NFT campaign with Premier League soccer team Southampton FC inspired by its latest kit design.
