KHROME

What KHROME does

KHROME is a full-service advertising and design agency headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, founded in February 2015 by Jim Rivett, a creative director with more than 30 years of industry experience. The firm offers six integrated service lines — Design, Branding, Video, Animation, Digital content, and Media buying — and serves mid-sized to large organizations across manufacturing, higher education, and nonprofit/community sectors. Visible client engagements include Waupaca Foundry (iron casting manufacturer), Northern Michigan University, Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, indicating a regional Upper Midwest focus with some reach into Michigan.

The business operates as a professional services firm under a project-based, quote-driven engagement model with no publicly disclosed pricing. KHROME uses a relationship-driven go-to-market motion, acquiring clients through direct outreach, portfolio presentations, community involvement, and an internal 80/20 rule that dedicates 20% of work to community service as a relationship-building mechanism. The agency is privately held, majority woman-owned, and has remained independent since founding with no disclosed external investors, funding events, mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring.

Operationally, KHROME runs with a lean team of approximately 13 named creative professionals spanning art direction, photography, video editing, motion design, copywriting, strategy, production, and administration. The firm does not operate proprietary technology, software products, or APIs; its underlying capability is its creative talent bench and integrated service offering. Geographic scope is primarily Wisconsin with adjacent reach into Michigan, and the firm shows no evidence of national or international expansion, product platform development, or technology investment.

Broad incumbents

• VMLY&R: Global advertising and brand experience network offering the same six-pillar creative portfolio (design, video, branding, animation, digital, media) as KHROME, but at vastly larger scale. Useful as the upper-bound incumbent comparison for what a full-service agency can become.
• BVK: Milwaukee-based integrated marketing agency offering brand strategy, creative, media, and digital. Comparable to KHROME in full-service creative positioning and Wisconsin/regional footprint, though significantly larger in headcount and revenue.
• Bader Rutter: Milwaukee-based full-service B2B marketing and advertising agency with strong manufacturing/industrial vertical. Highly comparable to KHROME in serving industrial clients like Waupaca Foundry and offering integrated creative + media services, though at substantially greater scale.
• Laughlin Constable: Milwaukee-based full-service advertising and brand agency serving enterprise clients across multiple verticals. Comparable to KHROME in service scope (branding, video, digital, media) and Midwest regional positioning, but materially larger in scale and client breadth.

Direct peers

• Hanson Dodge: Milwaukee-based independent creative and branding agency offering strategy, design, video, and digital services. Comparable to KHROME in ownership structure, service portfolio, and Midwest client base serving manufacturers, education, and consumer brands.
• Barkley: Independent full-service creative agency serving consumer, retail, and B2B brands. Comparable to KHROME as an independent, integrated creative shop with brand, video, and digital capabilities, though national in footprint.
