The success of Martin|Williams and its clients have come from the power of relationships. The idea is simply this: Great partnerships lead to great work, and great work is what distances one brand from another. With the arms of TripleInk, and Karwoski&Courage for multilingual marketing, and public relations and promotions, a single great idea can be taken and extended across multiple touch points. It's a philosophy that has lead to bottom-line results for brands such as Cargill, Coleman, Lincoln Financial Group, L.L.Bean, Marvin Windows, Payless, Steelcase, Syngenta, and Victory Motorcycles. It has also led to a longevity rarely seen in advertising agencies of nearly 60 years. See Martin Williams historical reel>

Fortune follows the brave. That's what our founder, Alfred Colle, understood when he quit his steady paycheck during the height of the Great Depression and opened what is now known as Colle+McVoy. Now that's gutsy. And despite what a lot of people said at the time, he wasn't insane. He simply had the confidence in his own abilities as a salesman and the insatiable will to succeed. That hot current of intelligent risk-taking continues to run through Colle+McVoy today, defining our mission of insightful thinking, involved teams and inspired ideas that give companies — and their brands — the unique opportunity to create their future, rather than sit back and wait for something good to happen. Courage, along with savvy and style, is what moves people, moves product and moves mountains.
