Holistic, full-service marketing communications

CarneyCo has been serving clients with award-winning, innovative ideas for decades. The agency, established in 1980 by Skip Carney, has always provided holistic, full-service marketing communications solutions for various B2B and B2C companies. By asking the right questions, we get to the root of the problem and uncover our client’s true goals. Then, bold strategies and engaging creative bring it all to life for market-changing results.

Our proprietary ReVision™ process delivers a robust approach to solve client challenges and create even more precise strategy. It’s a valuable process to clearly identify and define issues within operations, sales, and marketing, and it enables clients to focus their resources for better and faster results. ReVision gives us the insight to solve seemingly unsolvable problems and empowers our clients to better serve their clients.

Jessica Carney McKnight, our current president — and Skip’s daughter — was born into advertising. Her dad put her to work in newspaper, radio, and TV commercials as a child, and she followed in his footsteps with a Journalism and Mass Communications degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Heels!). Making her home in the Triad, she has worked for over 20 years within leading agencies in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC. In 2018, she joined CarneyCo to lead the family business, setting up an office in the Triad.

The process resulted in a lot of introspection. We found a great deal of strength that as a team we didn’t realize we had. We stopped to think about the important things today and identified what will move us forward.

We know what we want to be to our customers, but knowing how to transcend it and present ourselves as unique in a fairly commodified industry has been challenging. CarneyCo has helped us uncover our value proposition.

Thanks to CarneyCo and ReVision, we have an engaging brand and a message that is resonating with our customers and community. This is only the beginning, and we have already seen great results.

The ReVision process was perfect for our business and exactly what we needed to help chart the course for our next 80 years. Following three acquisitions over the past twelve months, the ReVision process provided us the clarity and framework to consider both our heritage and our aspirations for what we are becoming. The insights, perspective, and engagement helped us to unlock new creativity that will ignite our strategic plans for the coming year. We are fired up and could not be more excited about the future!
