We’re a unique mix.
A bunch of handpicked strategists, analysts and artists who work together fluidly and dynamically.
Across the spectrum of research, development, creation and placement, every move we make is decisive and every execution intentional. From areas where we specialize as an agency, to the knowledge we bring with us individually, our experience can solve problems across all industries. And when we’re working with clients who share our philosophies, we reach places few have ever been.
We’re perfectly at home with brands in and around the house.
We know everything that makes a structure a home—from the walls to the fixtures to the lifestyles within them. And we’ve spent more than 30 years exploring these categories, learning how to navigate diverse channels, influencers, purchasers and end users.
We’re well-read in science and education.
Speaking to audiences in the sciences and education sectors requires a certain level of tact—plus a very particular vocabulary. Through our discovery process, we have uncovered the intricacies of those audiences and crafted cohesive messaging that speaks to each on a personal level—while maintaining the creative executions that get brands noticed.
We have a strong foundation in the commercial built environment.
It takes a lot of know-how to create commercial structures—and a lot of experience to get premier construction products into the specs of those buildings. Our history of working with leaders and innovators means we know the space from the walls to the furniture and fixtures, and everywhere in-between.
We make sense of retail.
Reaching consumers in new ways is more important than ever. We use our knowledge of channel dynamics to develop strategies that include everything from packaging and label design, to signage and other strategic POP placements. Looking at the buying process as a whole, we get more attention in an increasingly cluttered environment.

INTERNATIONAL REACH. INTERSTELLAR IDEAS.

AGENCY LEADERSHIP:
Barbie has worked both on the client and agency sides of the business for 25+ years. As a result, she brings a unique point-of-view to growing brands. Barbie believes that for a brand to be successful, it all starts with the strategic foundation. Starting her career in brand management at Hallmark, she was quickly recruited by Leo Burnett to manage the global Kellogg’s account as vice president/account director—leading brand strategy and messaging. She then served as president and COO of Duncan & Associates in LA, implementing a national brand strategy for seven regional accounts. Since joining Miller Brooks, Barbie has led us with a “no holds barred” approach for positioning the agency to always do outstanding strategic and creative work for our clients. And frankly, we’d follow her vision anywhere.

THE RHINO
Look around our office and you’ll see a crash of rhinos. They are part of a story that relates to the philosophy behind our work. We share it as part of our client on-boarding process. So partner with us—and we’ll be excited to share it with you.
Our Causes:
REVEL FOR RESEARCH
Discovery lies at the heart of everything we do. It’s only fitting that we’ve partnered with the IU Simon Cancer Center in their tireless research to cure all cancers. Every year, we band together to develop tasty menus of delicious food and brilliant drinks that lead to the revelry we all enjoy. With a different theme each year—plus a silent auction, raffle and cork pull—we raise money (and a toast) to finding a cure.
Our Causes:
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
With so many clients in the world of construction, it’s important that we have an intimate knowledge of everything it takes to build a home. There’s no better way to get hands-on than through Habitat for Humanity. Over the years, we’ve sponsored builds, offered marketing consultation and worked diligently to bring extra attention to some truly significant milestones of the organization’s growth.
