AKQA has been named Agency of the Year at the Creativepool Annual awards, which recognises the best creative work across all disciplines.

The world’s first voice animated story The Snow Fox, and the first voice-activated recipe recommendation service, Jamie Oliver Skill for Amazon Alexa both were winners in the Applications category.

Commenting on the win, Creativepool highlighted: “2016 was a fantastic year for the team at AKQA. With the launch of incredible projects for global brands like BBC, Jamie Oliver, and Nike, their work transitioned from captivating to truly extraordinary. Gaining attention for driving results has led the team to attract over 20 new global clients. This past year they have received more than 100 honours for their work including seven Cannes Lions.”

“The agency was diligent to improve the team at the core of the business, by investing twice as much in talent and company culture. AKQA remain active in promoting the welfare of the industry by supporting a number of initiatives including Future Lions which is a competition for global students in line with the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.”
