Integrated marketing communications agency DKY marked 16 years in business with a celebration reminiscent of a traditional Sweet Sixteen.
When the roar of the engines had settled to a steady purr and the exhaust of raw horsepower had dissipated into the chilly winter air, employees of the inventive independent agency were rewarded with their own automotive accoutrements.
"The past few years haven't been kind to a lot of businesses," remarked agency president, Brian Dahl. "An anniversary like this leaves us more and more grateful to God for DKY. We really enjoy the work and love the people we work with each day."
As one of only a handful of independent agencies left in the Twin Cities, DKY continues to evolve from its unique beginnings. Building on its commitment to provide clients with fresh and effective business-building solutions, the agency has grown to become a mainstay on the local scene.
"We've been fortunate to work with a lot of fantastic clients over the years," said creative director, Mark Yaeger. "I can't believe we've been doing this for 16 years, it's been a tremendous blessing."
When the agency opened its doors 16 years ago, it did so with one client, two maxed-out credit cards and a long-term vision for what an agency could be if given the chance. Today, DKY provides integrated marketing communications services for a diverse roster of regional challenger brands and national Fortune 500 companies.
