Kansas City Business Journal just named EAG Advertising & Marketing a 2026 Champions of Business honoree.
For us, this one fits our self-image and we’re here for it. The Champions of Business award isn’t about flashy marketing. It’s about companies that deliver, lead and show up for their community. That’s the standard.
Why EAG made the list
Over the past year, we did what we always do. We built. We tightened the work. We raised the bar.
- We expanded our capabilities with two strategic acquisitions.
We brought INK inc. Public Relations and DataSmart Digital into EAG to create a stronger, more complete agency. Not for the press release. For the work. That means clients get strategy, creative, performance and earned credibility working together, with one team accountable for results. - We’re using AI like a power tool, not a replacement for craftsmanship.
We integrated AI across research, strategy and execution to move faster and stay sharper. But the work is still led by experienced pros who own the decisions and the results. We also build our own internal AI tools to help us run smarter, move faster and keep the bar high as we scale. - We don’t “support nonprofits.” We show up.
We back Kansas City organizations with time, talent, and resources, including pro bono marketing support, volunteer hours, board service and long-term partnerships. Not for the photo. Because it matters. And because strong communities build strong businesses.
