About
Located in a 19th century schoolhouse in Downtown Indianapolis, Young & Laramore is a mid-sized, nationally recognized advertising agency that reflects our building: we are, first and foremost, students of the consumer. We’re also proudly independent—the world has enough holding companies, thank you—answering to no one but our clients and our own compass. (Which one is tougher to please varies by the day.) We believe the ideal creative partnership is just that, a true partnership. And we work best with brands who believe the same, along with sharing some of our other traits: nimble, scrappy, and with a healthy distrust of convention.
