SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second consecutive year, AKQA has received Agency of the Year honors on both sides of the Atlantic. OMMA Magazine in the US named AKQA their Agency of the Year while the UK's
Marketing magazine named AKQA Digital Agency of the Year.
In 2006, AKQA launched AKQA Mobile, opened an office in Shanghai and won new global assignments from McDonald's, Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff.
AKQA launched Coca-Cola's award-winning global digital flagship Coke.com in 40 countries, while a short film produced and directed by the agency for Coke featuring Manchester United and England footballer Wayne Rooney was seen by over ten million people. AKQA's work for ESPN included ESPN.tv, a dynamic programming guide. AKQA also accomplished several world firsts in digital outdoor advertising including GPS-triggered bus advertising for Yell.com.
"What's impressive about AKQA is that they're always looking for something fresh and always working on new paradigms," says Jon Raj, VP of advertising and emerging media platforms for Visa USA. An online advertising campaign for Visa USA featured consumer-generated photography posted on Yahoo's Flickr photo-sharing service.
In 2006, AKQA was also named Agency of the Year by both the UK-based Revolution Magazine and AdAge's Creativity Magazine in the US - the first digital agency to hold the title of Agency of the Year on both sides of the Atlantic at the same time.
