Cindy Montgomery is a CEO at Ampersand Agency based in Austin, Texas, United States, North America. What would a creative agency look like if it was formed by a strategist & a research specialist? For many creatives, this might be a scary notion. Would there be room for the creative with all those numbers? Could an agency so steeped in strategy do well? The answer, in short, is YES! In 2005 when we opened Ampersand, we had no idea just how well it would do. But it turns out that finding the strategic truth makes the right creative solution all the more powerful. What started as an agency of two is now a full-service branding agency that has grown ten-fold. Our passion is partnering with beloved brands & retailers here in Austin and beyond—such as Lemi Shine, Stripes C-Stores, Laredo Taco Company, Celis Brewery, Brookshire Brothers Grocery, Total Wine & More, Cavender's Western Wear, Jason's Deli and many more. Ampersand is our name, but it’s also a promise to our clients—to always collaborate, working side by side to deliver stellar creative & insightful strategy. To drive brand love & grow sales. To be a partner & advocate. To be finders & tellers of unique truths—helping clients discover the reason consumers should know & care about them. Once we find that truth, we share it with the world. It’s a solid foundation we can build on year after year that makes good brands great, and strong brands unbeatable. As CEO, I have a unique vantage point to the Amperfam; an insider-view. I am truly inspired by the integrity, talent, curiosity & the general pursuit of excellence that our team shows every day. We have an all-in philosophy & approach. We don’t know how to do less so we take a courageous leap into the adventure that awaits us. Jim Stengel put it perfectly, “If you want to understand how a lion hunts, don’t go to the zoo. Go to the jungle”. At Ampersand, we enter the jungle willingly, not knowing what we’ll find. We keep our eyes open because what we discover on the journey leads us to even better ideas. If you want to join us in the jungle or need a seasoned guide, give us a call.
