List of the Top Advertising Agencies in Chicago

Founder Bob Killian, branding guru (he prefers “bomb-throwing disruptor”) stays involved in every client relationship, in vivid contrast to famous names on some other agency doors, e.g., Leo Burnett, J. Walter Thompson, Foote Cone Belding, BBDO – all nine of whom would be, shall we say, extremely un-involved?

We were founded on the knowledge that people are now content controllers. Whether buying for themselves or businesses, media maturity and technological savvy enable people to ignore the noise of traditional advertising and find relevant conversations, stories and communities they want to engage.At Popskull, we delve into your brand, target market, and competitive space. We uncover the Common Ground that connects them all. We then do the critical and most difficult task: we translate the Common Ground into sophisticated creative executions.

But the moments in life that endure in our mind are the ones that surprise, elevate and inspire. The ones that break the script of our everyday. We believe a strategic and consistent delivery of the extraordinary helps brands blast through the white noise of forgettable communication and become the foundation of long, meaningful relationships.
