ADVERTISING AGENCIES (DIGITAL DEPARTMENTS):
Most advertising agencies don't create broadcast work in-house. Usually, the art direction, style-frames and storyboards are created within the agency and the motion work is outsourced to VFX Studios. Sometimes the VFX studios handle the style frames and boarding as well.

The digital departments of these advertising agencies (interactive/web) often do work in-house. After Effects is often utilized in web and other interactive applications. Such projects are often handled by the agency itself.
