“There are not many shops out there today that have strategy, media, and creative all under one roof. KC Truth is one of the few, and I am impressed with how they are able to do it all effectively, at global scale no less. Big ideas, marketing platforms and communication that cater to human truth and experience drive brands to greater heights. Finding the truth is the core of KC Truth’s ethos and is what drew me to them. I cannot wait to continue shaping brand identities alongside Sue, Mike (Cronin), Robb (Burnham), and the rest of the agency.”
