"If you look back historically large agencies used to produce highly entrepreneurial deals for their clients and invent properties and products. All these things are coming around again. These aren't new ideas, they're just things that perhaps fell out of vogue as agencies and clients grew bigger."¹

- Johnny Vulkan, Head of Innovation at Anomaly in 2008.

"Carl (Johnson) knows where the business is going. Everyone talks about change, but no one comes close to what Anomaly is doing. If he's right, then everyone will move toward it."²

- Tom Carroll, President of TBWA Worldwide (TBWA)³ in 2007.
