R/GA By Design

The history of the leading creative agency pushing the limits of innovation in film, special effects, advertising campaigns, and digital design interfaces. For nearly half a century, R/GA has been producing some of the most compelling media content, advertising campaigns, and digital design interfaces. Dazzling title sequences and special effects for major cinematic blockbusters; early websites for IBM, Levi’s, and Bed Bath & Beyond; winning digital campaigns for Nike, Verizon, and Google; and cocreating Nike’s groundbreaking foray in fitness trackers. Founded by brothers Richard and Bob Greenberg in their New York City apartment in 1977, R/GA has since become one of the world’s most celebrated creative agencies—renowned for its obsession with pushing design and technology to its limits. Digging deep into R/GA’s archives with interviews with its founder, staff, clients, and collaborators and lavishly illustrated with photographs, concept sketches, and maquettes, the book showcases some of R/GA’s proudest moments. Though its name is most familiar within the marketing and entertainment industries, R/GA has been a key player in transforming the way we experience brands through technology. The stories, voices, and photographs assembled in this book provide a glimpse into how our contemporary designed world came to be.
