Agency Look

What Agency Look does

Agency Look (operating under the trade name "Look") is a privately-held experience design agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, with a secondary office in Boca Raton, Florida. The firm operates as a full-stack digital design and development boutique, organized around four practice areas — Strategy, Research, Design, and Technology — and employing a multidisciplinary team of approximately 19 named professionals covering UX and UI design, user research, interaction design, front-end and back-end development, mobile application development for iOS and Android, content management systems, and e-commerce platform delivery. Notable technical work includes ADA, the first conversational digital assistant in the Turkish insurance sector, built for Aksigorta on an Angular2 Single Page Application architecture, illustrating the agency's ability to deliver interactive, architecture-grade digital products beyond conventional marketing sites.

The agency's revenue model is project-based professional services, with pricing determined per engagement rather than through published rate cards, and no disclosed revenue figures in the source material. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with demand generation driven by a public portfolio of case studies (Şekerbank, DenizBank, Alternatif Bank, AkPortföy, Aksigorta, Sompo Sigorta, fastPay, Sabancı University, MSA Young Chefs), content marketing on Medium focused on user research topics, and active social presence on LinkedIn, Behance, Instagram and Facebook. The customer base is concentrated in Turkish enterprise accounts across banking and financial services, insurance, and education, with marquee logos spanning major Turkish banks and one of the country's leading private universities. There are no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, parent company, acquisitions, or formal partnerships, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model.
