About


For over 50 years, McKinney
has helped brands solve business problems through creativity.
We were founded 54 years ago 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 Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, and Phoenix, that belief — and the culture that it fosters — still holds true. We’re grateful to work with so many amazing client partners and we’re humbled to be named to the 2022 Adweek Midsized Agency of the Year Shortlist and Ad Age 2021 A-List — as a Standout Agency.
