About the Company

McCann

Creates advertising campaigns for global brands

McCann develops advertising campaigns and brand strategies for businesses that need to reach consumers across markets and media. Its agencies turn a client brief into a brand platform, then create communications that carry the same central idea through different channels and local audiences. The network combines research into consumer attitudes with creative development and production, so clients hire it for both the thinking behind their messages and the work that brings those messages to the public. Its portfolio includes campaigns for brands such as L'Oreal Paris, Instacart and Mastercard. McCann was founded in 1912 and is headquartered in New York City.
