They call themselves an ad agency, but they just rip other peoples work. That Coke and Halo sites were all originally done by other agencies...really they just did the production and flash. Plus, I heard they treat their creatives like garbage - tons of resumes on the street. AKQA is not an ad agency - they're a web production house. I totally agree with Farmer. 100% correct.

The Halo 3 music and diorama, the whole idea of the campaign, comes from the McCann SF. AKQA stitched that stuff together in flash. It's a nice site, but I agree they acted as a production company.

Anomaly needs to spend less time sending out pr packs and more time actually doing something people in advertising should be jealous of. The virgin stuff and the converse stuff are not so great, and don't think we don't remember the dasani spots with the talking goldfish women :-) Seriously… Anomaly needs to spend less time sending out pr packs and more time actually doing something people in advertising should be jealous of.

McCann or most other traditional agencies wouldn't know an interactive idea if they tripped over and fell on one. Oh please — Farmer shut up unless you know what you are actually talking about.

That Coke site in the pic isn't their idea or their assets, they just did the flash. Another great thing they're associated with is the Halo 3 site, which is McCann's idea. I don't understand why all these "digital" agencies get the credit they get when all they're doing is producing someone else's work. Akqa is a production shop.
