🧪The Word That Changed Everything: Very bad agency | Digital Pharmacy.

Let’s get one thing straight: We didn’t set out to build an agency. We set out to build a statement.

Back in the lab, it was just two guys with problems:

  • Tengo Khunashvili — UX/UI designer who obsesses over flows and taste.

  • Shota Datashvili — Motion designer who sees in frames, not seconds.

We weren’t chasing clients. We weren’t building pitch decks.
We were building our portfolio. But even that felt too basic.

So we decided to go harder.
A full-on visual identity, from scratch.
Logo. Name. Website. Motion. Vibes.
A whole damn brand, just for us.

But we didn’t wanted another “clean aesthetic” that dies on launch day.

We want something that slaps. Something brutally honest.
Something that walks in the room and offends half the crowd (the right half).
And for three long months, we had… only the name:

🚫 Very Bad Agency

No visuals. No philosophy. No soul.
Just a provocative name and a shared obsession for doing things better by being worse.

And the hardest part?
We couldn’t even start the website.
Because the brand had no voice. No body.
You can’t design a homepage for a ghost.

💡 Then It Hit Us: Digital Pharmacy

Two words changed everything.

Digital. Pharmacy.
That was the key.
The medicine for boring brands.
The prescription for dead design.

Suddenly, it all clicked:

  • Pills for services

  • Doses for content

  • Dealers for strategists

  • Injections for high-impact branding

  • And one glorious side effect: Addiction to taste

We built the site in under 48 hours, with Spline 3D + Webflow.
Raw, animated, unapologetic.

Then came Instagram.
But no basic case studies or filtered quotes.
We dropped Daily Doses — savage truth capsules for digital creatives who needed a slap, not a hug.

Examples?

  • “Rest isn’t lazy. It’s strategy.”

  • “You don’t need better tools. You need better taste.”

  • “No one’s coming to save you. Good. Build without permission.”

When others optimized for clicks, I optimized for meaning.
we made Awakening Reels — audio-visual shocks for the procrastinating brain.
They weren’t optimized.
They weren’t polished.
They were real.
That’s why they worked.

🚧 What Now?

We’re not done.
We’re not even stable yet.
We're actively switching strategy, because building something raw doesn’t mean being reckless.

This article?
Yeah, it’s part of our SEO plan.
We’re saying it out loud because that’s what honesty looks like.

But unlike most agencies who pretend to be something they’re not,
we built this whole thing in public — through conversations, struggles, and a stubborn refusal to settle.

We’re still underground. Still dangerous.
Still learning how to weaponize taste in a market that rewards blandness.

And if you’re reading this and still thinking,

“Wait, is this a joke or a real agency?”

Here’s your answer:

It’s both.
And we’re Very Bad at pretending otherwise.
