Ad Age touted that "Known may be the ultimate example of a full-service agency," and honored us with top ten status on The Agency A-List for 2024 & 2025, and as Ad Age's Data & Insights Agency of the year for a record third year in a row. Without our incredible partnerships with our clients, spanning across the leading brands in finance, technology, entertainment, media, CPG, real estate, and many other categories, honors like this could not be possible, and also have helped us earn additional awards and recognitions over the years like : Emmys, Clios, Effies, Cannes Lions Awards, ProMax Agency of the Year, Fast Company's World Changing Ideas, Digiday's 2025 Best AI Platform and Digiday's Most Innovative Media Agency, to name a few.

We are curious innovators, knowledge-hunters who are constantly challenging ourselves to do better and be better for our clients, for our team and for our world at large.
