Box 1824 is a unique company, a hybrid between research, consultancy, business strategy, and future hub.

Other clients include Novartis, Disney, XP Investments, Google, NuBank, and Spotify.

“Box 1824, founder-led like us, is fully complementary to CI&T. Box 1824 is the top global zeitgeist decoders, and we are the strategy+design+tech enablers. I strongly believe that Box's 3D methodology will dramatically enhance our end-to-end digital capabilities and the value we create for our clients. I am really excited about it,” said Cesar Gon, CI&T's founder and CEO.

“We've been helping global companies create and strategize their futures. Now, as part of the CI&T Family, we will be able to offer the continuation of the journey up to the implementation, a key factor to make sure that tipping points don't get lost in execution.
