Fallon

About Fallon

Founded in 1981 by Pat Fallon and Tom McElligott, Fallon is an advertising agency based in Minneapolis. Its work also spans Strategy and Branding & Identity. Past clients include Arby's.

Fallon is a creative legend, the Minneapolis agency (founded 1981) that proved the heartland could out-create anyone, and made some of the most celebrated advertising of its era. BMW's "The Hire" films essentially invented branded content as we know it, and Cadbury's "Gorilla" became a global phenomenon; this is a shop with a permanent place in the medium's history of idea-first, creatively ambitious work.

The strength is that pedigree of distinctive, talked-about creativity, Fallon at its best makes work that transcends advertising. The standing challenge for any agency with this storied a past is matching it in a fragmented modern landscape, and Fallon has navigated the industry's churn like its peers. But the creative DNA that produced "The Hire" and "Gorilla" is real, and on the right brief it still shows.
