Ad Age Magazine crowned Chicago’s O’Keefe, Reinhard & Paul as its Small Agency of the Year at its 7th Annual Small Agency Conference. The 2-1/2 year old agency has rocked to the top of the charts with smart work for Big Lots, Yum Brands and Turtle Wax, a stream of new clients including Ace Hardware and a nimble, efficient work model. Oh, and they are really talented, nice people. http://adage.com/article/print-edition/ad-age-s-small-agency-year-o-keefe-reinhard-paul/299765/

Big win for Chicago’s O’Keefe, Reinhard & Paul. The 2-year-old agency beat out well established and much bigger shops to take home the Ace Hardware account after a review. As was reported, the agency has a strong, straight forward no-nonsense approach, with lots of funny in the mix. http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2015/05/28/okeefe-reinhard-paul-agency-pulls-a-real-ace-out.html

When it comes to shareable content in social media, dogs and babies rule. (Hear that Caitlyn?). That’s why O’Keefe, Reinhard & Paul put the darlings of the internet together in a series of online videos for Big Lots. Of course the reason behind the move is rooted in pure marketing coincidence - the introduction of a new line of dog products and baby products at Big Lots -http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/doggies-vs-babies-big-lots-hosts-shamelessly-cute-showdown-latest-ads-164623

A new campaign for Turtle Wax from O’Keefe, Reinhard & Paul hit the big screen before the debut of Furious 7, the latest in the Fast & Furious film franchise. The ad is part of a new campaign designed to reframe the Turtle Wax brand and appeal to the next generation of car lovers.

Riffing on the popular term #NailThis, Chicago agency OKRP pulls of a series of feisty ads for Big Lots celebrating the discount retailers ability to help its consumers dress, decorate and gift like the best for the holidays. The ad campaign is helped by a great song amplified by America's Got Talent runner-up Deanna http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2014/10/30/big-lots-rings-in-the-holidays-in-melodic-fashion.html
