## Pitch

AKQA is een internationaal ontwerp- en innovatiebureau dat ideeën, design en communicatie combineert voor grote merken, met een studio in Amsterdam.

## Wat dit bureau doet

AKQA won in 2019 twee Cannes Lions Grand Prix en werd door Gartner en Forrester genoemd als een van de toonaangevende bureaus voor experience design en innovatie.

Het bureau, in Nederland opgericht in 2007 en gevestigd in Amsterdam, werkt vanuit tientallen studio's op vijf continenten.
