AUSTIN/ATLANTA — June 4, 2020 — projekt202, the leading provider of experience-driven strategy, design and development which was founded in Austin in 2003, today announced its expansion into the Southeastern United States with the successful acquisition of Big Nerd Ranch, a premier digital product development and training firm headquartered in Atlanta.

“With a diverse talent base in a large, vibrant market, Atlanta is an ideal expansion opportunity for us, and Big Nerd Ranch has a strong reputation nationwide as thought leaders helping teams successfully gain the required skills to design and build digital solutions,” said projekt202 CEO and Co-founder David Lancashire. “As more organizations look to adopt experience-driven methods, we also recognize that Big Nerd Ranch’s expertise in training is needed to help companies truly transform and compete in today’s marketplace. This is an exciting step in further strengthening projekt202’s capabilities for advancing and improving our clients’ customer experiences.”

With a team of more than 110 people, Big Nerd Ranch (www.bignerdranch.com) is most known for its best-selling books and immersive, hands-on training that enables clients’ teams to develop the skills needed to build outstanding digital products. Since 2001, more than 20,000 people from leading worldwide organizations have completed Big Nerd Ranch’s training bootcamps in Android, iOS, Web, UI, React, Python, and more.

Big Nerd Ranch is also increasingly well-known for designing and building innovative and elegant digital products, partnering with their clients to build brilliance.

“As our clients face the increasing demands of an ever discriminating marketplace for their digital products, we’re excited that we can now offer them a wider range of services, as well as the opportunity to scale our world-class training across projekt202’s client base,” said Big Nerd Ranch CEO Stacy Henry. “Together, we will have an undeniable impact on Atlanta-area organizations, helping them deliver better customer experiences and achieve success through experience-driven transformation.”
