makemepulse inducted into the FWA Hall of Fame
Rob Ford
The FWA
makemepulse burst onto the FWA scene in 2010 with a signature style of high-end, immersive digital design that immediately grabbed our attention. Racking up an impressive tally of wins since, they have proven time and time again that they are at the absolute cutting edge of interactive web development. They are undoubtedly one of the most exciting agencies in the world today.

Today, makemepulse is being inducted into the FWA Hall of Fame.
18 years ago, Antoine and I started the company while we were at Publicis. Part of the reason was simple: we believed we could do better. We wanted to build a place driven by craft, experimentation, and a desire to push what the web could be.
FWA has been part of our journey since the early days. Some of our first bold experiments, late-night builds, and most ambitious interactive pieces were recognized there. It pushed us forward and helped shape the standards we set for ourselves.
This belongs to everyone who has contributed to makemepulse, past and present. The designers, developers, producers, creatives, technologists, operations, and all the people who chose to care deeply about what we make.
Also, this kind of milestone is not a finish line. If anything, it raises the bar. The spirit that started this company — believing we can do better — is still the one that drives us.
This one is truly collective
Grateful for the journey and excited for what comes next.

Nicolas and I were students at GOBELINS Paris when we first discovered The FWA.
We'd browse it together for hours. Studying the sites. Trying to understand how they were made. FWA showed us what the web was truly capable of. It felt like a window into what was coming.
Before makemepulse, we'd already won a few FWAs during our years at Publicis Net, but the moment that actually mattered was our first win as a studio alongside our friends Olivier and Mathieu from ADDICTION Agency. That first win as makemepulse changed something. An FWA wasn't just an award anymore. It felt like joining a community we'd been admiring since Gobelins.
What followed, we never would have imagined. Greenpeace: A New Warrior, our first Site of the Month, made with our friends at 84.Paris. For Honor Scars: one of my favorite projects to this day, scoring 91 on FWA. And of course Nomadic Tribe, Site of the Year. Each one further than the last. And our most recent win for Brunello Cucinelli, already shows where the web is heading next. Eighteen years later, we're still chasing that window.
Today, makemepulse enters the FWA Hall of Fame.
Nicolas first, my partner since day one, who shared every ambition and pushed every project further than I could have alone. And every person who's been part of makemepulse along the way. Designers, developers, producers, sales, support, everyone who poured their talent and energy into the work. 96 FWAs means 96 teams.
Thank you ❤️🔥
And to FWA and Rob Ford for welcoming us into the Hall of Fame.
