Plan B Advertising is an independent, full-service advertising, marketing and creative agency headquartered in Chicago's River North neighborhood.
In 1999, advertising industry veterans Ric Van Sickle, Clay Cooper, and Don Weaver left the "big agency" world to found Plan B as an on-demand, results-driven "Agency Alternative." Plan B now has offices in Chicago, New Orleans, and San Francisco servicing a wide array of clients in diverse industries, ranging from automotive to health and fitness to technology and more. The agency brands itself as a "best-gen agency marketing agency with a talent for pushing boundaries ... that thinks beyond advertising as it's traditionally been defined."
The agency's capabilities include Strategy, Creative, Social Media, Event Support & Management, Website Development, CRM, Production, Performance & Analytics, and Media Planning.
In 2017, Plan B launched HauteRod, an automotive event management company that specializes in show events, track events, test driving events, vintage events, virtual events, brand training and more.[1]
In 2009, Plan B was the first agency to offer an inside look at the office with video chat web cams at their desks, allowing completely transparent communication.[2][3]
