Agency Statement: Carmichael Lynch Spong is a four-time PR "Agency of the Year."
Carmichael Lynch Spong represents a select portfolio of envied clients. The firm is a refreshing alternative to bland, ordinary thinking. From the ideas we bring clients to the office space around us, we’re not your typical public relations firm. We covet creativity. We combine our wild imagination, intuition, seasoned expertise, audience insights, hard-core analytics and flawless execution to solve business challenges for our clients.
We’re not a one-dimensional PR firm. We deliver powerful, inventive ideas that forge a strong emotional connection with our audience. We think holistically about bringing our strategies to life through earned, shared, owned and paid ideas. A collaborative spirit flows through every staff member and every effort.
Our collective craft ignites momentum and seemingly defies gravity for our clients. That’s why one leading PR trade editor refers to Carmichael Lynch Spong as pound-for-pound the most award-winning PR firm in North America. It’s also what makes us one of the top three most award-winning firms in the industry for 15 consecutive years.
Carmichael Lynch Spong has offices in Minneapolis and New York, and is owned by the Interpublic Group (IPG) with 43,500 employees around the world.
Carmichael Lynch Spong officially established June 12 as National Jerky Day, jerky's very own holiday to be celebrated annually. During the inaugural celebration, we revealed a 2-foot-by-3-foot portrait of Sasquatch, made entirely of Jack Link's jerky. This led to the unveiling of "The Meatheads" for the 2012 presidential election, which included jerky portraits, “Meat Romney" and "Barack Obameat." Mitt Romney himself even took notice, and was shown in the Washington Post, Huffington Post and YahooNews passing Jack Link's Beef Jerky out to his staffers on his plane.

The iconic Hollywood Sign is now bright and shiny again, thanks to our client Sherwin-Williams. This was the first extensive makeover for the Hollywood Sign in 35 years. Carmichael Lynch Spong worked with an LA-based photographer to create this time-lapse video of the refurbishment.
