Blake Morgan advises Radius Insights on acquisition of One Strategy Studio
Blake Morgan has successfully advised global insights consultancy Radius Insights on its acquisition of London‑based strategic insights and innovation agency One Strategy Studio. The transaction marks a significant step in Radius’ continued expansion in the global insights and analytics market, further strengthening its AI‑accelerated strategy capabilities.
Legal Director Michelle Davenport led the deal for Blake Morgan’s Corporate team, working closely with Corporate Associate Karen Foong. They were supported by key members of the Commercial team, including Partner Liz Bell and Associate Emma Shakeshaft, who advised on intellectual property matters, alongside Employment Associate Hannah Waterworth, who provided employment law expertise.
Founded in 2023, One Strategy Studio has quickly made its mark as an AI‑first insights and innovation agency, blending a virtual AI studio with experienced strategists to deliver rapid, high‑impact insight and strategy solutions. The business has delivered more than 250 projects for over 60 global brands across innovation, positioning, foresight, segmentation and campaign development. Its acquisition by Radius brings together complementary strengths and expands Radius’ global offering across primary research, advanced analytics and strategic advisory services.
Radius Insights, headquartered in New York with offices in London, Dubai and Beijing, is backed by Star Mountain Capital and has grown significantly in recent years through the acquisitions of Strive Insight, 7th Sense and Illuminas North America. The addition of One Strategy Studio enhances its AI‑driven insights capabilities and supports its mission to help brands navigate complexity and make faster, better strategic decisions.
