I’d almost put 72 on this list, but that Halo Top campaign they just dropped is amazing.

I feel like Droga doesn’t bring the heat like they used to.

Chiat, 180, GSP, Anomaly...

Hate to be a W+K dick rider, but it seems they’re the only agency that consistently does incredible work year after year.

Anomaly, Johannes Leonardo and Heat: pure hype. Nothing good.

1) DDB NY is the worst for me. That place have all the chances to be good but manage to kill everything that is good and pure.

2) Strawberry Frog

3) Publicis

Goodby had its salad days in the 90s but seems to revive every few years. Any agency can heat up, even after years. Look at Grey after 2010. But hotness comes and goes. I suppose that's why most of us jump around every few years. Always been like that in agencies
