History

Who we are drives everything we do.

In December 2011, FINN Partners was born. I served 11 years as the co-CEO of a historic agency that carried my father’s name – and mine. Yet after 30-plus years of working at that firm, I realized I wanted to build something different – something bold, meaningful, and amazing for clients, our colleagues, and the communities in which we operate. “Amazing” was, and is, for me an important word. I imagined we could be “amazing” every day. I aimed to create a place where talented people could gather – virtually or in person – and do big things for clients, and make a difference in the communities important to us.

We launched with a shared vision. FINN Partners operates under a “new” agency model. We’re driven by a collaborative spirit, supported by a 70-plus-year legacy, and attuned to the energy and speed of today’s high-tech world. Over the years, our Founding Managing Partners – highly respected colleagues who took the leap with me from our former agency – have been joined by principals from other great agencies that have become part of FINN Partners. So many other talented individuals are with us now, too, intrigued by the idea of doing amazing things in an amazing workplace community.

We’ve made our mark quickly. FINN Partners has been named “Best New Agency,” “Best PR Agency to Work for in North America,” and “Best Mid-Sized Agency of the Year” multiple times.

At our founding, we had $24 million in fees. Today, we have grown to approximately $196 million in fees, more than 1,400 colleagues, and 33 offices across three continents. We’re now one of the world’s largest agencies.

We share the genes of a respected agency that pioneered today’s integrated communications. But we are not that agency. We are unique. We are purposeful. We are focused on the future – and building that future each amazing day.
