About
McKinney

We Are McKinney

At McKinney, our purpose is to create unfair attention for brands. We’re good at it. In fact, we’ve been helping brands solve business problems through creativity and attention for over 56 years. We were founded by Charles McKinney, who believed that a world-class agency off Madison Avenue would bring a unique perspective to clients. And though we’ve grown and added offices in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Phoenix and Toronto, that belief — and the culture that it fosters — still holds true. We’re grateful to work with so many amazing client partners who share our belief in the power of work that refuses to be ignored. And we’re humbled to be named to Ad Age’s 2025 Best Places to Work and a 2024 A-List Agency Standout.
