The Way We See It

In case you hadn't noticed, at BKV, we're passionate about direct marketing.

We've been at it since 1981, so we really know what we're doing. With a staff of over 180 professional direct marketers in our Consumer Advertising, Business-to-Business Advertising, Interactive, Nonprofit, and Conduit divisions, we work alongside clients whose names appear on Fortune 500 lists and among the top nonprofit organizations in the world. All to create specific, tangible results through pinpoint acquisition and retention of customers and donors.

It's a vision that's made us one of the largest independent, full-service direct response agencies in the country. And it's a vision that can help bring your business more results or your nonprofit more donations ... and more success.

After all, results represent the cornerstone of our philosophy, and of our work. Simply put? Make your advertising responsible ... and accountable.

Because we figure that even the coolest ad on the planet is worthless if it doesn't generate a call, click or visit. That's why we create work that lives up to the highest possible creative standards, while adhering to direct response techniques that really work ... time and time again. Let us prove it to you.

Brass Tacks

But don't think for a second that our passion for great work gets in the way of our passion for life. We take our fun seriously! You'll see our "pool table" spirit in a hundred different places. You'll find BKVers everywhere from the softball field to Emmy Awards after-parties. After all, with the many personal and professional achievements of the BKV staff, we have a lot to celebrate.

And we're involved ... directly. From helping to restore grounds at Atlanta's Historic Oakland Cemetery, empowering single mothers and their children to break out of the cycle of homelessness and poverty at Sheffield Place in Kansas City, providing clothing and school supplies to Kansas City children through the Christmas Families, Inc.'s Green Bag Program, preparing and delivering meals for Project Open Hand, or organizing Christmas for more than 75 underprivileged preschoolers at the Albert T. Mills Enrichment Center, the people at BKV make community participation high priority — and high entertainment. In fact, we were named one of the Top 10 Small Businesses in Kansas City.

Are we heavy-hitters in the direct marketing industry? You bet. You'll find us chairing committees for the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and judging the prestigious ECHO Awards. BKV is also proud to be a sponsor of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations. We are affiliates of the International Communications Agency Network, the Business Marketing Association and the Public Relations Society of America.

Plus, we're lucky enough to be located in the heart of Atlanta's newly revitalized Buckhead Community and Kansas City's suburban Overland Park, touted as one of the best places to live in the U.S. So you can always find BKV right at the center of it all.
