New AgencyNet site – holy crap.

if you were familiar with the old AgencyNet site then you will know that at the time it was pretty cutting edge.
Well AgencyNet have released their latest version of the site and it is an absolute beast. Following the same theme as it’s predecessor, the new site uses a 3d animated cross section of their offices, each room representing a different section of the site. This time though they have really gone to town with some sections of the site resembling sites in themselves. I can’t really begin to imagine how long and hard they must have worked on this (well I can and it’s a long time and they must have worked really hard) but it’s really paid off. There’s some very simple yet effective twitter integration and so many nooks and crannies worth exploring that you can get lost in the site for some time. One of the highlights for me is the helicopter that you can fly using an iphone app. Although relatively pointless, it’s fun and It’s that type of attention to detail and creative use of technology that really makes them pioneers of this type of interactive design.
An old colleague of mine Agustin Sanchez works for them now as an Art Director. I have no doubt that some of the nifty ideas and probably the execution of them in the site were down to him.
I’m not bitter though Agustin….
Actually, yeah I am.
