Digital-savvy AKQA faces identity crisis

Strategic design and innovation company AKQA continued to change shape in APAC in 2021 as it swallowed additional media capabilities and then shed them a few months later.

Nonetheless, the work that shone through for AKQA in 2021 displayed its tech prowess.
