3q/Dept

With a Chicago office at 1 South Wacker Drive alongside locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, 3q/Dept forms part of the wider Dept network, a digital agency group organized around global offices and shared partner relationships with platforms such as Adobe, Google, Optimizely, Salesforce, and Shopify. Its work spans industries including banking, financial services and insurance, consumer packaged goods, health, retail and commerce, and technology, media and telecom, with a team of over 200 people supporting clients across these sectors from its Chicago base and sister offices. The agency's service offering covers search engine optimization, pay-per-click, social media marketing, media planning and buying, and marketing strategy, positioned alongside branding and UX/UI design work. It also lists BI and big data consulting and systems integration among its capabilities, reflecting a practice organized around broader solution areas such as AI transformation, brand and media, commerce, customer experience, and tech and data. This structure indicates an approach that pairs performance marketing disciplines like SEO and PPC with data and technology consulting, and with design and branding services, rather than treating them as separate offerings. The Chicago location operates as one node within this multi-office, multi-solution setup, drawing on partner technology platforms for implementation work in commerce and customer experience projects.
