McKinney is a modern integrated agency dedicated to discovering and unleashing untapped potential for our people, our clients, and the world around us. In 2022, McKinney was ranked a top creative agency by Adweek, a top media group by Campaign and - with the recent addition of August United - a top influencer agency by Influencer Marketing Hub.

We were founded 54 years ago by Charles McKinney in Durham, NC, who believed that a world-class agency off Madison Avenue would bring a unique perspective to clients. And though weve grown and added offices in Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, and Phoenix that belief and the culture that it fosters still holds true.

Working seamlessly across all of our offices, we assemble teams tailored to the task at hand, not according to where our people sit. But no matter where you look, you'll find a group of creatively driven, passionate people using their Smarts & Hearts to uncover attention-getting ideas that we bring to life through compelling brand stories and experiences.

Weve been recognized by Cannes Lions, Effies, The One Show, D&AD, ANDY, CLIO, LIA, the Shortys, and The Webby Awards, among others.
