This is a broader focus than Freedom’s narrow mission on content supply chain, but it is a fundamentally compatible one. A journey that starts with content creation is not finished until it connects to customer experience. Joining forces with Northern will allow our clients to achieve a more holistic and effective end-to-end digital transformation.
