WFA launched in 2013 and became the most written and talked about agency launch of the time, with coverage and commentary across the globe, including Advertising Age, AdWeek, PSFK and Business Week – attracting fans, detractors and intrigued clients in equal measure.

We gained our first client within 2 hours of launching, with retailmenot.com's CEO stating, "A good marketing idea is worth its weight in gold, and I've paid a lot more in my day for less than worthy ideas from other ad agencies. We like the return on our small investment in the World's Fastest Agency on what turned out to be fun, creative thinking."  - Cotter Cunningham, CEO, RetailMeNot, Inc.

WFA has collaborated with Classic Car Club Manhattan, Yotel, Retailmenot plusa host of global ad agencies to develop fast, effective creative solutions.

Advertising is a Mug's Game

Here at WFA HQ, we've been looking at ways to expand our "fast and good" ethos beyond responses to client briefs.  ​

​Our "Friday Fast Facts" on twitter are being well received, take a look: @fastestagency

​We've also been playing with some merchandise ideas, including this rather splendid mug.  Not currently for sale to the general public as perhaps four people on the planet will buy them.  If you happen to be one of the four email us and we will make one and gladly sell it to you:

Fast Thinking Group

In addition to the our robust "makers and doers" production database, we've set up the Fast Thinking Group.  ​

​The Group came about in response to so many keen, fast-thinking creative types who got in touch since launch, wanting to be part of WFA.  

​It's a strong, tight group, all under NDA of course.  Think of them as the Navy Seals of Fast Thinking.

This group will be deployed on Creative Briefs from Clients as and when support is needed by the core WFA team.
