Come together, stand apart. That’s our how and why neatly wrapped up so we never lose sight of what we’re here to do every day: come together with the best people from every discipline to make the very best brand-building, culture-bending, business-altering work.
Our full-service capabilities include brand planning, multicultural strategy, creative and design, digital, media planning and buying, public relations, social engagement, integrated production, content development, CL Labs (in-house studio) and marketing analytics.
At Carmichael Lynch, everyone — across all departments — is responsible for bringing great big category-redefining ideas to our clients. This means we need to collaborate in novel ways and that’s why we’ve built our company to run entirely differently from traditional advertising agencies. We have built our agency and all its processes on a model of cooperation between our interdependent capabilities. This allows us to provide our clients with the kind of seamless collaboration they need and more importantly, enables us to deliver truly holistic consumer experiences. We consistently hear that our approach is both unique and refreshing and it helps brands stand apart. While we love putting our full, integrated team to work on a challenge, we can also break apart our services as media planning and buying AOR through CL Media and as public relations AOR through Carmichael Lynch Relate.
