About Droga5

Founded in 2006 by David Droga, Droga5 is an advertising agency based in New York. Its work also spans Strategy and Branding & Identity. Past clients include Under Armour and The New York Times.

Droga5 is one of the defining agencies of the modern era. Founded in New York in 2006 by David Droga — now part of Accenture Song — it built its name on idea-led work that lived in culture rather than just on TV: the early "Decode Jay-Z" project, Under Armour's "I Will What I Want," and a long run of campaigns for the likes of The New York Times that paired genuine storytelling with sharp strategy.

The Droga5 signature is the big, earned idea — work substantial enough that people talk about it unprompted. Folding into Accenture gave it consulting-scale resources, and the open question, as with any creative shop inside a consultancy, is whether the creative edge stays sharp under that ownership. So far the work has largely held its standard, which is why Droga5 remains a name that means something.
