TheoremOne Joins Media.Monks with a People-First Approach

Founded in 2007, TheoremOne is an innovative engineering and technology services consultancy led by Brady Brim-DeForest, CEO; Will Jessup, Founder & Head of Services; and David Kullmann, Partner, Staffing and Embedded Teams. The team advises clients on product strategy, engineering, design, and culture, then partners with them to build and launch technology-driven solutions to their most complex problems. While over 70% of its employees are based in the US and Canada, TheoremOne employs a global team of distributed talent to best serve the needs of enterprises everywhere, including American Express, Intel, Starbucks and Caterpillar.

“With the intersection of marketing, sales and information technology continuing to be a key topic for brands and all C-suite executives, we at S4Capital are building a genuinely integrated offer for our clients comprising best-in-class technology services combined with content and data&digital media expertise,” says Sir Martin Sorrell, S4Capital Executive Chairman. “We are delighted to welcome Brady, Will, David and their colleagues–their vision and ambition will no doubt be a great fit for us.”

A Disruptive Approach to Innovation

We’re attracted to teams that share our mindset to disrupt the industry, and this makes us good fellows with TheoremOne. The team is driven by a strong mission to dismantle an archaic consulting ecosystem and replace it with a distinctive, durable and effective system for transforming the way businesses solve problems. This is reflected in TheoremOne’s small teams, lean budgets and unparalleled velocity, as well as a desire to build cultures of innovation within the world’s largest enterprises.

Among the biggest innovations built by TheoremOne are a series of popular open-source technologies that developers depend on. These include (but are not limited to) Redis hosting services OpenRedis and Vagrant, which predate DevOps tools like containers. TheoremOne aims to enable information through custom software development rather than produce cookie-cutter solutions or integrations. By hiring experts in leading cloud platforms, programming languages, databases and more, TheoremOne invests in talent ideally positioned to help brands navigate digital transformation, full-stack innovation and experience design.

People-Powered Transformation

To achieve its mission of maximizing human potential, TheoremOne has developed a unique operating model: an Operating System for Innovation. This modular service offering enables a more client-centric approach to software development and information technology services, much like the way our API model—another computing metaphor for organizing people efficiently around a common goal—connects the world’s best digital talent around solving specific client needs.

We launched our API to democratize our talents’ ability to spot challenges in the market that we can solve together. Likewise, the structure at TheoremOne is built on principles of decentralized leadership and small, autonomous teams. These qualities breed a culture of extreme ownership to make a significant impact.

And while much of TheoremOne’s talent is based in the United States and Canada, a core belief behind the business is that exceptional talent can be found anywhere. The global team collaborates remotely across borders and time zones to best meet the needs of clients around the world—an approach that plugs in well with our own global team and single P&L. TheoremOne has leveraged its expertise in remote collaboration to help brands achieve similar efficiencies: its remote work transformation service offering fills a growing white space as businesses continue to restructure their teams around digital collaboration.

A Shared Vision

TheoremOne shares many of our own values, from acting like owners and solving challenges together to driving transformation across people, process and technology. Now plugged into an integrated team of digital experts, TheoremOne is better equipped to help build digital products and experiences that people love, all while cementing our investment in full-funnel, transformative technology services to enterprise brands.
