We're a collective of fun-loving, intelligent, imaginative, driven and sometimes rowdy weirdos. Like any good Kentuckian, we're genuine and hospitable. We don't like big egos. We're open-minded. We play nice. We share. We're fostering a culture centered on inclusiveness, where all of our people can show up every day and be 100% themselves and feel 100% comfortable, celebrated and respected for the perspective they bring to CORNETT.

Our goal is to be an agency where any brand can come to us, with any audience and any challenge, and we're able to deliver and connect culturally beyond their wildest expectations.
