About

Brunner is a leading independent, integrated marketing agency that is proud to have Good People, Creating Great Work for Our Clients.

Brunner is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, with additional offices in Atlanta, GA.

What makes us different?

People-first Culture: Our culture is centered around our people. We’re diverse in backgrounds and experiences yet united in a culture that celebrates unique perspectives. This keeps our ideas fresh and our attrition rate low—at 18% versus the 30% industry standard—meaning more retention of institutional knowledge and no lost momentum.

“Good” is in Our DNA: We pride ourselves on having the tenacity, curiosity, and perseverance to succeed on behalf of our clients. Yet we always put people first and have the integrity and heart to do the right thing for the people we serve. “Good people creating great work for our clients” is deeply rooted in the very essence of our culture.

Fiercely Independent: Brunner is fiercely proud of its independence. We’re not accountable to a holding company or shareholders – just to our clients. This allows us to stay nimble in both our approach and the ability to invest in innovation, creating new services and tools to meet our clients’ ever-changing needs.

Relationships Built on Results: We let our results and long-standing client relationships speak for themselves. We don’t have a massive sales team that digs up every lead in the U.S. Much of our growth comes from repeat clients. Our average client relationship is 7.5 years vs. the average 2 years. The Home Depot, Blistex, and Cold-EEZE are just some of the brands whose CMOs took us with them because our people became an extension of their team. And we’d have it no other way.
