Studio Exploration: AGENCYNET & BOB'S CUBE

AGENCYNET is an award-winning studio that specializes in interactive video/multimedia design and branding, with offices in New York and Fort Lauderdale.

I chose AGENCYNET's website, since it seems to give a good example of a well-designed interactive flash site. Visitors get access to a floor plan of the studio's office in Soho, New York, and are welcomed with a video message by the company's receptionist. The floor plan not only shows the studio's physical setup, but also animated work scenes with members of the team.

You can see AGENCYNET's list of clients as refrigerator magnets that can be moved around, whereas AGENCYNET's special capabilities are listed in the form of an interactive crossword puzzle. One thing that I found to be useful is the contact sheet that pops up in an extra window, with text that can be selected and copied...

An extra addition to their site is a link to ANidea, a blog that includes topics surrounding creativity, technology, strategy, innovation, as well as recent news about AGENCYNET. It includes a search function and the option to change the background theme of the blog, which I found interesting.

The following link offers a comparison to AGENCYNET's presentation of an interactive office environment: BOB'S CUBE allows the user to open drawers and play around with different office gadgets...providing a fun experience to visitors. It is provided by the web hosting company Hostway and mixes interactive games with smart facts about Hostway's hosting services.
