O'Keefe Reinhard & Paul
Advertising
ABOUT US - Big brand creativity with startup ingenuity. We started our agency because we saw a void out there. Traditional agencies have the resources to give their clients big ides, but too often the working of these agencies gets in the way of the work itself. Start-ups are progressive and agile but can't seem to get past a boutique mentality when it comes to creative. Our answer is to deliver big brand creativity with the prowess of a start-up, sticking to these four rules: 1. Be nimble. Be quick. Be prolific 2. Practice "the high art of selling." 3. Put the "agent" in advertising agency. 4. Have soul.
