Recently, I’ve been scouring through my newsletter subscribers, and I’ve managed to find a number of interesting companies that subscribers have either founded or work for. So, for the next several weeks, I want to point out a couple dozen interesting, design cracky if you will, companies that caught my eye.
Agency is about as slick of an interactive marketing company as you could ask for. For starters: Agency.com. How cool is that? This is like the best URL ever for an interactive marketing firm. It’s like if I somehow landed Design.com which would never happen because, quite frankly, Agency is much cooler and more powerful than me. (The closest I come to URL glory is TheHater.com which I picked up for a steal… if anyone’s interested, drop me a line).
Digging deeper into Agency, I find that this company has worked with the titans of industry. They have hit a number of fantastic campaigns out of the ball park including ads for Croc Week, website design for HP Music, and British Airways branding to name a few. The one thing missing here is myself. Agency, if you can hear me, are you looking for architects with incredible skill? Let’s talk.

Sadly, I remember Agency.com best for their Subway pitch viral, which was either one of the worst ways to pitch ever, or a stroke of genius. They attracted a huge amount of attention before they even had the account - but they looked like idiots doing it. What’s more important?…

Good question. I’m thinking that looking like a fool might be preferable, because time heals all wounds, right? People forgot about stuff. By the way, you don’t happen to have a link to this Subway pitch, do you? I’d love to see it.

They took down the YouTube movie but I found it on Yahoo:

To make up for getting you to watch that, I also point you to Coudal’s parody/response:
