Cramer-Krasselt is an American integrated marketing and communications agency. It is the second-largest independent agency in the United States according to Advertising Age in terms of revenue and is probably best known for its ads for Corona Beer.[2]

Formation and overview

The agency was founded in 1898 in Milwaukee by Fred "Cody" Cramer and William Krasselt. They relocated their headquarters to Chicago in the mid-1980s, where it remains as of 2012.[1]

Other clients include AirTran Airways, Porsche Cars North America, Benjamin Moore, Heinz, Bombardier Recreational Products (including Sea-Doo and Ski-Doo brands), Edward Jones, Johnsonville Sausage, Sealy and TransUnion's TrueCredit.com. In 2011, they took on the $50M account for Cedar Fair, the company that owns Knott's Berry Farm.[3] In 2013, they declined to continue to represent Burlington Coat Factory. [4]

Controversy & campaigns

In Brian Mandelbaum, Cramer-Krasselt Digital Innovations Director simply “walked out the door” and quit. He gained some fame in the industry prior to working with the firm as a contestent on the fourth season of Donald Trump's The Apprentice.[5]

One of their contributions to pop culture beyond commercials was the stealth disco meme.
