Our Story is Simple

Agent was founded on October 1, 2013, by the lead creative team from the 2013 Ad Age Small Agency of the Year. Coincidence? Not at all. We knew the time was right to create an agency that fully represented our approach to brand building, advertising and design.

Our approach is to express the simple, emotional truth behind every brand we work for. We question accepted truths and avoid typical answers. An effective brand meets the emotional needs of people — and expresses this truth simply.

The industry has taken notice. In addition to recognition by Ad Age, One Show, Communication Arts, Graphis and the National Addys, the creative team has won a Gold Effie, the industry’s highest benchmark for marketing effectiveness and creativity.

Finally, we are also true to our clients. When you work with Agent, you’ve got a loyal group of accomplices in your corner, who will work each problem relentlessly until we all know we’ve cracked the code. We love what we do, and when you work with us, it’ll show.
