SocialxDesign (read as "Social by Design") is an independent strategy consulting firm focused on helping businesses, government agencies and NGOs to remake themselves for the socially networked economy. We enable organizations to grow, reduce costs, and increase their market value by empowering the people they serve -- employees, customers, and citizens. With a philosophical-yet-pragmatic approach to addressing new market realities -- where empowerment is at the center of value creation -- we're helping businesses, government agencies and NGOs to remake themselves for the socially-networked economy. SocialxDesign is an affiliate of Eastwick – one of the nation’s top technology communications agencies – and holds ties to leading social-technology research professionals at Stanford University and cutting-edge public affairs experts throughout the US. Our clients include leaders in the private sector, the public sector and NGOs committed to rethinking their approach to consumer engagement.
