About The Martin Agency

Founded in 1965 by David N. Martin and George Woltz, The Martin Agency is an advertising agency based in Richmond, Virginia. Its work also spans Strategy and Brand. Past clients include GEICO, DoorDash, Oreo, UPS, Discover and Tylenol. Its work has been recognized at Ad Age Agency of the Year (2023).

The Martin Agency is the rare creative powerhouse that built its reputation far from New York or Los Angeles. Founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1965, it helped reinvent insurance advertising with GEICO and has since produced a deep run of culturally resonant work, including its acclaimed DoorDash campaigns. Ad Age named it Agency of the Year in 2023, confirming its status as one of the most awarded agencies in the country. It operates within the IPG (now Omnicom) network while keeping a distinctly independent creative voice.

The Martin proposition is world-class creative effectiveness from outside the coastal agency hubs, with the resources of a global network behind it. The open question, as with any storied shop now inside a larger holding company, is whether it keeps the independent creative culture that earned its reputation.
