Accenture acquires Mackevision

Accenture is to acquire Mackevision, a global producer of 3D content, and visual effects team for Game Of Thrones.

The acquisition will add visualisation capabilities to Accenture’s digital services portfolio and enable the delivery of a broader set of services around so-called ‘connected’ products, platforms and business models.

Mackevision’s services are used for online product demonstrations, VR experiences, virtual showrooms and feature films.

“This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity for us,” said Jamie Posnanski, global content practice lead, Accenture Interactive.

“Mackevision has a deep roster of highly-relevant creative and technical talent in emergent capabilities, and operates with mature offerings on a global scale.

“It’s rare to find this combination in the market. We are highly impressed by the quality of the work, innovation, leadership, culture and, of course, talent on the Mackevision team, and we are excited for what our combined capabilities can mean for clients.”
