Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is a global practice of architects, designers, engineers, and planners, responsible for some of the world’s most technically and environmentally advanced buildings and significant public spaces. The firm’s approach is highly collaborative, and its interdisciplinary team is engaged in a wide range of international projects, with creative studios based across the globe. In 2026, SOM was named one of the Most Innovative Companies in Architecture by Fast Company and received the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. The firm’s portfolio includes numerous innovative landmark towers, including the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, One World Trade Center in New York, and Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, as well as large-scale urban planning initiatives that integrate density, mobility, and sustainability—including the award-winning Sultan Haitham City in Muscat, Oman, and the recently unveiled masterplan for Bradfield City, Australia’s first new city in more than a century.

Deeplocal creates and builds experiences that help brands tell their stories and connect with their audiences in new, unexpected ways. We work in both digital and physical disciplines, though our projects find all kinds of ways to dissolve the boundaries between the two. Everything we do is rooted in culture and faithful to strategic insights about our audience. We want to get them talking about something amazing they’ve experienced—not about an advertising campaign. Our team is comprised of creatives, marketers, strategists, technologists, engineers (mechanical, electrical, robotic, and software) and artists. Whether we’re making robots, software or socks, we do the vast majority of our production in house. This allows us to be nimble in our process and give our clients excellent visibility into each project, from start to finish. We power our work with Gumband, the first operating system created for interactive experiences. Built by Deeplocal, this cloud-based platform lets brands manage all aspects of their interactive spaces from anywhere. Our clients can update content any time and measure real-world engagement in a way previously only available in digital marketing. Learn more at gumband.com.
