Weirdest one yet

Well, this is a bit odd.  Strategy Magazine just named us the Top Client of 2006.

At first we thought it was some sort of typo, but it turns out it's legit.  It's part of a creative report card Strategy puts together every year based on the total tally of creative and effectiveness awards.  And we were, of course, our own client for our website, which won a lot of awards last year.  Based on that we finished in a surprise tie with Pfizer (for all their great Viagra work) at the top of the list.  This might be a bit hard to explain to our actual clients, so you'll have to forgive David & Judy for their slightly embarrassed smiles.  We also came in as the fourth-most-awarded Canadian agency, behind Taxi, DDB, and Rethink. 

Congrats as well to Israel Diaz for being the second-most-awarded art director in Canada (just missing out on the top spot); to Len Preskow for making the top 5 in the copywriter rankings; and to everyone else who made the list.
