As I mentioned previously, while I was on a field trip in Berlin, I got the chance to visit two digital agencies with different approaches, but similar views, both great in their own way.
While those from AKQA had a really open and friendly attitude (even giving us a tour of their office) , those from R/GA kept it professional.
Both companies walked us through their achievements and failures, explaining what worked and what did not and why.
When asked what they are looking for in an individual when hiring, they both reply that personality counts more than the actual skills. (which does not warm my heart since I lack both personality and skill)
At R/GA they talked about how is good to have restrictions when designing something since you can get more creative, statement I highly agree with as I mentioned in a previous post.
Although I liked the atmosphere at AKQA, I enjoyed more the projects made by R/GA since they were more complex and well-definied.
Overall, I am glad I managed to go to both presentations (since there were limitations in terms of space) and I am hoping that, one day, I will be a competent employee in a highly-acclaimed company.
