Gaining Momentum

Type/Code is a verified, high-quality digital agency based in NYC (est. 2010) with an impressive client roster including Google, A24, MoMA, and GE. While the submission itself was extremely low-quality (vague claims, lazy data entry), external verification confirms significant real-world utility and indirect audience reach through client products. The score reflects the strong market position and proven traction of the business, penalized heavily for the lack of effort and detail in the submission.
