Media at McKinney

Our Approach

When you’re looking for a new media partner, media expertise is table stakes. We know that our experience planning and buying all types of media isn’t going to win you over on its own. But as one of our client partners said to us, “You’re not like the others.” We love that.

We don’t silo our teams by media type, nor do we buy media in bulk, then dole it out to dozens of clients. We pride ourselves on being a team of creatively driven, analytically minded media folks housed within a full-service agency. We’re integrated from ideation through optimization. Working within the same walls as brand strategists, creatives, and account leaders means we understand your business needs from the get-go, embrace the simple human insight that’s at the core of your campaign, and use that knowledge to generate, deploy, and optimize media plans.

“McKinney has been a critical partner in helping us go full-board into a digital-first approach and doing so in a very quick period of time.

We literally view everyone on the McKinney side as colleagues of ours. When we’re entering into any sort of strategic discussion, a question about how we’re going to go do something, we’re reaching out to them. It’s a simple team-oriented view.”
