We are excited to help this iconic brand accelerate its strategy to create cutting-edge solutions that connect and drive intelligence across its entire portfolio. C2W has the skills, creativity and insights to help Honeywell continue along its journey to become the world's leading software industrial company. We will be providing end-to-end marketing services through a new IPG strategic business unit with core services that access our best talent from across the group. It's a great example of the open architecture model we've championed at IPG for over a decade, with collaboration at its core.”

The primary focus for C2W will be to amplify Honeywell's rapidly expanding, connected, and data-rich portfolio across including key growth sectors such as aviation, buildings, supply chain, chemicals, workforce safety and oil and gas.
