our history

Originally located in the back of a type house (remember those?), LKH&S was founded in 1992 by a group of ad veterans who felt — as does everyone who ever started a business — that "there had to be a better way."

Actually, in this case, we were on to something.

After just one year, the agency could boast national clients in major industries — including OMC, the leading name in boating and marine power…Pioneer Hi-Bred, the nation's largest producer of agricultural seed…and International, North America's largest manufacturer of heavy and medium duty trucks.

Within four years of its founding, LKH&S captured Best In Show at the Chicago Association of Direct Marketing's Tempo Awards — the only awards competition we have entered.

In the years that have followed, we have served clients large and small who share one common goal: the desire to connect with their customers through advertising that is creative, compelling and response driven.

The work goes on today.
