Pod1 Ranked 8th in Design Week's Digital Charts

2009-06-26

Design Week's annual Top 100 Consultancy Survey was released recently and Pod1 (London/NYC) was ranked 8th out of all the digital agencies that featured. Not bad for an independent agency i reckon..

We're not ashamed to admit it, but we'd rather be no.1, but it's nice to be mentioned. Collectively, the digital agencies mentioned earned £63.14m last year compared with £48.31m in 2007, a massive hike of 29%.

Out of all the disciplines (Interiors, Exhibitions, Branding, Print, Corporate Identity, product, Digital and 'other'), we were ranked 35 out of 100.

Congratulations to Imagination who topped the list for the 2nd year running and all the other hard working, blood sweating, creatively led agencies that featured.

Onwards and upwards.
