Sustainability-focused creative agency AKQA closes down after restructuring changes
Scoop: AKQA Bloom Bites the Dust After Three Years!
In a shocking turn of events, the eco-friendly creative agency, AKQA Bloom, founded by Jean Zamprogno and Fernando Pellizzaro in Miami in 2022, has bid its farewell. AKQA Americas, the agency's spokesperson confirmed this to ADWEEK.
The Miami location will continue to thrive, but AKQA chose to keep quiet about whether Zamprogno and Pellizzaro would still steer the ship. The co-founders were no less tight-lipped, failing to respond to ADWEEK's request for comment.
This transformation comes on the heels of a major global shake-up announced in December, which saw AKQA's restructuring under three regional P&Ls: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Approximately 6% of the workforce was given the boot as a result of this restructure, as a spokesperson shared with ADWEEK, but the company declined to discuss whether the AKQA Bloom team was among the casualties.
"We're always tweaking our business setup to ensure we're on the cutting edge," AKQA said in a statement. Sounds like they're planning for the future, huh?

AKQA Bloom, an eco-focused creative agency, was shuttered by its parent company AKQA in March 2025. The agency was merged into the broader AKQA Americas region as part of a larger restructuring initiative. This restructuring also led to the closing of the AKQA Miami office and a shift towards a more integrated strategy, technology, and delivery model for clients across regions, in a bid to streamline operations and improve client service.
The rationale behind the global restructuring seems to be AKQA's strategic overhaul to streamline its operations and deliver seamless services across different regions. This move encompasses elevating key roles, like global chief strategy officer, chief technology officer, chief invention officer, chief transformation officer, to strengthen its executive committee and offer a harmonious approach to services.
However, precise reasons for the restructuring, beyond integration and alignment, are not explicitly disclosed in the available data.
