  Shortlists, Survival Strategies and the Comedy Business Case - Indie Agency News

  GYK was named #6 Indie Agency 2025. In an industry often dominated by holding companies and massive networks, Indie Agency News created a competition that recognizes “the true heart of creative innovation – the people and agencies who proudly wear their independence as a badge of honor. These are the weirdos, misfits, and underdogs who approach business, creativity, and culture from refreshingly different perspectives."

About

We’re an independent, integrated agency serving as a creative growth engine. We believe creativity offers brands the ultimate competitive advantage and is a strategic lever for growth. At our core, we’re fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit — which inspires our team of creative problem-solvers and risk-takers to deliver innovative ideas that ignite brands and drive impact.

Our work is driven by three core tenets: Autopilot is our enemy, creativity is our expertise, impact is our endgame.

To us, autopilot is the enemy — the enemy of growth, the enemy of standing out, the enemy of winning in the marketplace.

To combat complacency, we embrace curiosity, question assumptions and provide solutions that challenge the status quo. Because smarter, more insightful, more creative work works harder to deliver impactful solutions.

Which brings us to our end game: driving meaningful impact for brands and businesses.
