All ICAC  members are seasoned agency veterans with a minimum of 15 years of experience. We have all “done hard time” together at some of the largest agencies in the business and many of us have known and worked with each other for years. We’ve all spearheaded award-winning campaigns for some of the most recognizable clients in the world ranging from hot start ups to Fortune 500 companies.

As individuals, we are entrepreneurs who realize our clients want something different than bloated, lethargic and exorbitantly expensive firms normally bring to the table. We also realize that sometimes the whole really is stronger than

 

the sum of its parts and, together, we are a force with which to be reckoned.

We come together to share ideas, resources, best practices, staffing, administrative costs and tools. We also work closely with other creative services agencies who share the same commitment to excellence because we know that integrated marketing efforts are no longer an option. These include advertising agencies, direct marketing firms, Web developers, SEO/SEM specialists, bloggers and graphic designers.
