Built on award-winning senior leadership, Herd of Shepherds is an independent idea agency built to do work that matters. We believe the best ideas come from bold creativity and an unrelenting focus on what actually makes the work better—not layers of bloated bureaucracy and process. Free from holding company red tape, we’re able to quickly put the right minds on the right projects to make the work smarter, sharper, and impossible to ignore. And when the work is great, everyone wins.
