We're McCann New York. This is where, for over a century, three simple words have led the way: Truth Well Told. It's our belief that consumer insights based in truth are crucial to building brands that last. We helped Coca-Cola teach the world to sing and Mastercard celebrate the things in life that are "Priceless." We're passionate and persistent, inclusive, and inquisitive. Also, we like to laugh. And all of this finds its way into what we do best: creating culture-defining work that moves business. We're proud to have been named the Cannes top performing New York and North America agency in 2023, Campaign US BIG agency of the year in 2022. We are also honored to have made Ad Age's A-List four years in a row and been named Fast Company World's most innovative agency.
