Fresh ideas from
the fresh coast
HAVEN, located on the shores of Grand Haven, Michigan, is home to an extremely powerful creative approach where talent from multiple backgrounds and perspectives are given a safe place to create unconventional ideas that are anything but safe.
We work with companies and organizations that want their advertising to work harder, go further, and achieve more.

A vision by Bill McKendry
After years of big agency and big brand seasoning followed by 20+ years of managing his own groundbreaking, multiple office shop, Bill has been dreaming of this place and this moment for years. The thought that’s been pulling at him is this… maybe the best way to create fresh, simple and compelling ideas is to have a fresh, simple and compelling structure. Sprinkle in a magnificent location and an impressive network of creative talent and resources – and what do you get? A place called HAVEN.
