Our take

Founded with the aim of being a “challenger” consultancy, Elixirr’s approach to business consulting involves avoiding the pitfalls of corporate consultancy firms. It strives to work openly and collaboratively with its clients, delivers outcomes through innovation rather than methodology and treats each business as an individual entity with a unique set of needs.

Elixirr works across finance, health, manufacturing and a range of other markets, implementing solutions that involve machine learning, corporate culture transformation, digital marketing and much more. Its agility as a consultancy firm is due to its ethos of pairing clients with tech startups that have products beneficial to client growth. Ultimately, Elixirr creates an “innovation ecosystem” whilst introducing new ways of working and predicting future trends to get ahead of.

Listed on the London Stock Exchange, Elixirr has come far since its founding in 2009. Since its IPO, Elixirr has raised significant funding and acquired US insights firm Hypothesis so as to expand its US presence. Former Elixirr clients have included Bloomberg, Tesla, Selfridges and the England Rugby team, exemplifying the diversity of its portfolio.
