About

We started this agency with one promise—to deliver big brand creativity with the ingenuity of a start-up. We know you have to think fast, act faster—and then be willing to change course on a dime. O’Keefe Reinhard & Paul, named the 2015 Ad Age Small Agency of the Year, succeeds in delivering on this promise by sticking to these four rules: 1. Be nimble. Be quick. Be prolific. 2. Practice “the high art of selling.” 3. Put the “agent” in advertising agency. 4. Have soul. OKRP provides creative and strategic thinking by combining real-time, improv creativity with proven brand stewardship. The improv comes from the soul of our creative department, our “Writer’s Table” of Second City trained writers and performers who embody our new model approach to advertising.
