McKinney is proof an agency can be over 50 years old and still land on Ad Age's A-List (Standout, 2024 and 2025). From Durham — deliberately outside adland's default zip codes — they've produced era-defining work like the Travelocity Roaming Gnome and modern comedy for Little Caesars.
The full-service model (creative + media + influencer under one roof) makes them a strong single-partner choice for national brands that want integration without holding-company bureaucracy.
