Ever get annoyed by that designer you have to work with? Ever think that developer is a bit too know-it-all? What about that new intern who is absolutely useless?

It’s time to speak your mind.

At Agency Fusion, a Utah web development agency, we’re big believers in open communication. We think it’s healthy. That’s why we built Agency Smackdown, the site where designers, developers, copywriters, partners, and even that useless intern can all have their say.

Check it out when you need a break. Leave a comment, cast a vote, or better yet, give someone the smackdown! It’s good for you.

Update: Smackdown is dead. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Dear Designer,

We owe you an apology. We haven’t really spent much time trying to entertain you. We’ve been self-centered and selfish, working hard to keep business moving along in this sluggish economy.

But what about you? You have needs. And we’ve been neglecting your needs.

Baby, we didn’t mean it. We’ll change. Words are never enough, though. We know that. So we’ve spent some quality time trying to find a way to show you how sorry we are.

So, please visit Agency Smackdown. We made this for you.

Sincerely,

Agency Fusion

The game, launching September 9th, could become one of the biggest, most widely-played online games ever, with players competing from all over the world. As in the board game, players will spend Monopoly money buying property (each players starts with $3 million).

Downing Street will reportedly cost $231,000 while Pennsylvania Avenue will fetch a cool $2 million.
