Agency Network Project:Worldwide has just launched a new shop called Junior, dedicated to doing things rapidly. 

“The quick eats the slow,” pronounces the new shop’s website, which offers other pearls of wisdom (such as “code = power”) along with some information about its mission.

The agency, based in San Francisco bills itself as “the rapid invention company,” and unites product design, technology and marketing to service brands.  

To help speed things up, the agency has developed partnerships with outside design and tech entities including Hyper Island, Savannah College of Art and Design, Carnegie Mellon University and School of Visual Arts in New York. According to the agency students and post-graduates at the institutions will work on projects with the Junior team.

“At Project, we invest in building companies with great talent and encourage our people to think creatively about new opportunities for growth,” said Robert Vallee, CEO Project: Worldwide. “Junior is a fantastic representation of how creativity fused with future-forward leadership opens the door to innovation, not only for our clients, but also our network.”

Junior is the 12^th company in the Project: WorldWide portfolio, and the fourth startup created by the network behind Argonaut, Shoptology and School.

The shop’s co-founders include Argonaut veterans Robbie Whiting and Conal O’Doherty; Stephen Clements, previously with AKQA; Renna Al-Yassini, previously with Adaptive Path, and Garrick Schmitt, previously with Razorfish.
