Where Chicago



Agency vets Wright and Islam bumped into one another while vacationing in Cancun and bonded over the frustrations of looming early midlife crises. Tequila-fueled conversations ensued, a business plan was sketched in the sand, and in late 2003 Commonground was born. The 130-person shop prides itself on its diverse staff and collaborative environment. And clients including Coca-Cola, NBCUniversal, Bacardi, Miller Lite and Target hire it for multicultural work as well as general-market advertising.
