Digital Product Studio helping brands build digital platforms
All of the best apps and digital products solve a specific problem in the most elegant way possible. Yours should too. We design and build exceptional software, and provide outstanding product consultancy. We are not an 'integrated', ‘full service’ or ‘marcomms’ agency - a jack of all trades. We focus on what we do best. Specialising in financial services & healthcare. 🦔
The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility
First we assess the flexibility options hedgehog lab provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure hedgehog lab is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.
We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
