Connecting brands to today’s America.

Most people feel that brands know a lot about their buying habits. But very little about them. And there’s research to prove it.

Which is part of the problem. Our industry has become so data reliant that we’ve neglected our people skills. If we want “human truths,” shouldn’t we talk human, too?

So we focus on speaking people.

Just some of our health care experience

We’ve got perspective across every category

What we do.

Strategic Planning
Creative and Design
Media Planning and Buying
Digital and Social Content
Integrated Production
Data and Analytics
CRM and Automation
Multicultural Marketing
Consumer Experience Consulting

A knack for making the complex simple.

Heavily regulated industries.
Complicated customer journeys.
Commoditized, fragmented categories.
Complex brand architectures.
We say, "Bring them on!"

Experts at the human experience since 1911.

That’s why we operate a stand-alone “marketing experience consultancy” within the four walls of our agency. We call it CE/CX (Campbell Ewald/Consumer Experience), and it was created to put consumer experience at the heart of brand strategy in a way no one else has.

It combines the strategic thinking and specialization of a consultancy with the flexibility and bench depth of a full-service agency.
