How it started – and how it’s going
Kane was founded in 2013 by former journalist Kimberly Kane. She found that many businesses had a gap – they knew communications was important but didn’t know how to do it well.
They needed strategic partners to help get their message across.
The agency has grown into team of experts with global impact. From our Milwaukee headquarters, we connect with our offices in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Geneva, Switzerland, delivering deep experience and broad perspectives to our partners.
In 2023, we acquired Leonard + Finco, an award-winning firm in Green Bay known for delivering strong PR results.
Whether you’re focused on international growth, hyperlocal awareness or community connection, we’ll create solutions to help your business grow.
Profit and Purpose
At Kane, we believe trust is earned—and it’s earned through how you show up every day.
Our B Corp certification reflects that belief. Certified B Corporations meet rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency—and recommit to those standards over time. Kane has completed this process and improved our score in our most recent certification.
For us, this isn’t a designation—it’s how we Earn Trust for Good with our team, our clients, and our community.
