Expertise | CIVILIAN Ad Agency Chicago | Human-to-Human Advertising
Civilian CVLN

Building your brand starts by building more genuine connections

CIVILIAN is a performance marketing agency with a humanistic approach designed to create real feeling, inspire real behavior, and ultimately foster long-term engagement, loyalty and advocacy, to drive real business growth.

We partner with clients to take on their biggest business challenges, helping them navigate the dynamics of the Human Era. Because no matter how you define yourself (think B2C, B2B, B2B2C), it’s all about H2H – human-to-human advertising that builds meaningful bonds between your brand, your company, your employees—and your customers.

At first, this approach may sound overly simplistic. Or even feel like common sense. But in an industry where hyperbole and rhetoric seem to rule, we consider it a humbling reminder that every brand is strengthened, or weakened, in every interaction with your customer or prospect.
