mcgarrybowen was founded in 2002 on the simple premise that clients deserve better. So we built a company committed to delivering just that. A company that believes, with every fiber of its being, that it exists to serve clients, build brands and grow businesses.
We believe in eliminating anything that isn’t essential to that task. It’s why we run lean and smart. It’s also why we focus relentlessly on the quality of our people because what is always essential are good people. We are an agency of creatives — not just copywriters and art directors but creative account executives, creative strategists, creative receptionists, production people, and IT people.
We believe in experience. Our senior officers have held some of the biggest jobs at the world’s largest agencies. We also believe in the energy of the next generation. And for that reason we populate our hallways with the cream of the world’s best new talent.
We believe in ideas. So while some agencies have tried to stifle and control ideas, we have openness, a sense of ownership and emotional freedom.
mcgarrybowen is a place where creativity blossoms and clients feel at home. A place where we never forget that an idea isn’t really an idea unless it has at its center a core emotional truth.
We believe in something more than mere “integration.” Maybe it should be called “unification.” It’s a place that required us to build an agency from the ground up — with one P&L, one point of contact and a single-minded focus on creating big ideas and organizing ideas. All that, and an equally adamant focus on delivering those ideas anywhere and everywhere that customers are.
People often ask us how we were able to grow as quickly as we have. It’s simple. Do what you love. Love what you do. The work, the challenges, the stress, the people, the results ¬ it’s why we get up every day. That love is the only way to consistently bring the level of passion and commitment that great brands require and deserve.
We feel that our clients around the world agree. Don’t take our word for it, though.
