Company History

KemperConnect was born in the 1960s as a retail ad boutique. We've evolved over the years, changed names and addresses few times, but we've always been a full-service ad agency. We're creative (like an advertising agency is supposed to be) and make the most of modern-day communication but we also understand old-school messaging and advertising. The common thread running through everything we do is the strategic way we approach every client marketing challenge. Strategy first and inventive, emotional creative second. That's the closest thing we have to a mantra, and it works for us.

Years of working together to solve our clients' advertising problems keeps us sharp. Understanding their marketplace needs and goals keeps us knowledgeable and on top of our game. We are driven by problem solving and good old-fashioned customer service. And you know, we've grown our business by helping our clients grow their businesses. We continually fine-tune and reinvent to keep up with the pace of an industry that never sleeps. Success is good... For both our clients and for us. We embrace the current new-age advertising and media renaissance. To prove it, we've reinvented once again.
