I'm too lazy to see if it's been posted before, but it's pretty old... And I find it funny that you'd say "global ad agency" when they have a .ca domain... :P

you are right it is old. but this is the 'kool sites' section, not the 'new sites' section. also, you can make sarcastic remarks if you are 100% sure of your facts! ;)

I see from your site you studied in Toronto (where Burnetts Cananda is based), so its good to see you are upto date with the players in the global media sector to correct me! :P

its a great use of flash. video, interactive content and a great nav!

It's also older than Jesus and has "been through the ringer" a few bazillion times.

As far as your "great nav" comment.... are you insane? That is about the most "user-unfriendly" site I have ever seen. Completely useless to the average joe. I bet they have had more than 1 client give up on trying to figure that site out, especially the reverse navigation that is completely undocumented.

No, this isn't a "new sites" forum, but you should still bring something fresh to the table. You don't show up to a "kool music" showcase with the Beatles White Album and expect people to be impressed.

most advertising agencies don't go for 'user friendly'. You are right its useless for the average joe and wouldn't suit a lot of companies. But advertising agencies are about concept, design and impact... not user friendly. Not sure how many pitches they would win with 'user friendly' credentials!

If the site is so flawed why are they rolling a near identical version out across Europe?
