Using Twitter as a medium, the World's Fastest Agency will respond from briefing to idea within 24 hours. A networked team of creatives in New York launched a new service that meets the demand for rapid turnaround advertising.

 

Using Twitter as a medium, the World's Fastest Agency will respond from briefing to idea within 24 hours.
