Just an interesting story… They sell their Agency to a holding company… few years later.. buy it back 100% … However they were bleeding employees… (funny how the good stuff comes out in the local biz journal)..
McKinney’s work includes ads for Audi, Travelocity and Sony. McKinney has 181 employees, down from 251 at the end of 2006.
The management of Durham-based McKinney, the Triangle’s largest advertising agency, has bought back the company from French conglomerate Havas, the two companies announced Thursday.
The deal, which comes seven years after Havas bought McKinney, gives a management team led by CEO Brad W. Brinegar 100 percent ownership of the firm.
