Strategic Product Development

UX Designers working on a digital product design

Build what should be, not just what can be, with a smarter, strategic approach to delivery

Digital product DEVELOPMENT

At LION+MASON, we’ve redefined how digital product development can work.

Instead of forcing projects through a traditionally rigid agency model, we tailor each engagement to your needs — whether that means supporting your internal teams, collaborating with your existing partners, or managing the full delivery ourselves.

Our approach is built on one simple principle: What we deliver should serve your strategy, your users, and your long-term business success.

DEVELOPMENT and DELIVERY Shaped around you

We offer a flexible approach to delivery, adapting to your specific organisational structure and capabilities.

We provide three key delivery options:

Support your internal development teams

Already have development capability in house? We provide seamless design handover, ongoing support, and expert guidance to empower your internal teams and ensure a unified delivery process.

Collaborate with your existing partners

Already working with a development/solution partner? We collaborate with and support your existing development partner or product supplier, acting as a dedicated advocate for your needs and your users’ experience. We ensure that the delivered product aligns with your strategic goals and user expectations.

Provide a managed delivery service

We offer a fully managed delivery service, leveraging our curated network of trusted partners. We hand-pick the ideal partner based on your project’s specific criteria (budget, industry expertise, technical specialism, security considerations, and size) and oversee the entire development process.

A Smarter way to build

Our model offers a more effective way to build digital products, providing key advantages over traditional agency models:

Specialists matched to your needs
We assemble the right team of specialists for your project — no generalists, no unnecessary extras.
Lean and efficient
We keep things streamlined, avoiding the overheads and rigidity of a traditional agency setup.
Clear communication, no black boxes
We work transparently, so you’re always in control and in the loop.

Your goals come first
We act in your best interest, not a rigid personal preference — every decision is based on what’s best for your product and your users.
Scalable and flexible
Whether your project is large or small, we adapt as things evolve — scaling up or down as needed.
