About Park & Battery

Park & Battery, founded by Ted Kohnen and Michael Ruby, is an advertising agency with offices in Oakland, New York, Chicago and Miami. Its work also spans Strategy, Media & Performance and Social & Content. Past clients include Roto-Rooter, Avis Budget Group, Kaiser Permanente, Meta, Thermo Fisher Scientific and UBS. Its work has been recognized at Ad Age B2B Agency of the Year (2026) and Adweek B2B Agency of the Year (2024).

Park & Battery is out to prove B2B does not have to be boring. Its founders start from the idea that people inside businesses still make emotional decisions, and the results speak for themselves: talking plumbing fixtures for Roto-Rooter made on a budget under $250,000, a new-business win rate above two-thirds and new accounts including Avis Budget Group, Kaiser Permanente and Universal Music Group. It was named Ad Age's 2026 B2B Agency of the Year.

With integrated strategy, creative, content and media under one roof, it is a natural fit for B2B and considered-purchase brands that want consumer-grade creativity. Pure consumer packaged goods brands may find other shops more specialized.
