SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19 PRNewswire — AKQA has been named one the world's most innovative companies by Fast Company Magazine in its annual "Fast 50". The list of innovation leaders also includes Google, Apple, Facebook, Nike, Nokia, Target and Microsoft.

"When we launched AKQA internationally seven years ago we wanted it to be a new kind of agency — an agency with innovation at its core," said Tom Bedecarre, AKQA's Chief Executive Officer. "We are honored to be included in the same list as our heroes, many of which we are proud to also have as clients. We would like to thank our hard-working team and our clients for the opportunity to create groundbreaking work and ideas."
