Who we are.

We’re a powerhouse partner.

In 2022, Lipman Hearne joined with Yes& to create a potent full-service marketing force: Yes& | Lipman Hearne. We amplify and complement each other’s capabilities–extending our historic strength in strategy, research, and creative through Yes&’s capabilities in media, digital marketing, social media, public relations, video, web development, and design.

Together, we think around corners and prepare for all the ways audiences are growing and changing. We’re formidable and flexible, ready for whatever forces, trends, and opportunities the future holds.

Our clients are big thinkers. So are we.

We love our clients’ extraordinary sense of purpose, their impatience with incremental change, and their determination to leave category promises in the dust. And they appreciate how our experience in every channel and with every type of organization across the nonprofit sector gets them to new opportunities faster. No other firm has a shorter learning curve.

We listen deeply, uncovering hidden and new strengths. We offer insights and strategy grounded in data and unmatched sector knowledge. We’re agile and inventive when priorities shift and openings emerge. That’s why our strategic and creative solutions feel inevitable, intuitive, and inspiring.

Ultimately, we help our clients tell better stories in every medium and platform—stories that inspire people within organizations to embrace their roles as communicators, and move audiences to say, “Tell me more.”

The power of difference.

Great ideas are never single-sourced. We know we work smarter and more creatively when we draw on the wisdom of diverse experiences and perspectives. As a company, we’re committed to ensuring that our behavior and our work consistently reflect the values—and the power—of equity and inclusiveness. And we are continually engaged in examining ways we can better reflect and honor the diversity of the communities we serve.

We recently completed our sixth annual prospective student benchmark research for UChicago Harris School of Public Policy. Our annual surveys and research have produced actionable insights, increasing prospective student applications by 30% year-over-year since 2016. We can’t wait to see their continued success and growth!
