Who We Are
With a name inspired by the capital of culture and a legacy that includes some of the world's most iconic brands, Gotham is often referred to as "McCann Worldgroup's best kept secret." Founded in 1994, we are the Global and US agency of record for Maybelline New York, and we are expanding our ranks to build a deliberately small yet mighty global boutique, backed by a strong network of innovation and creativity in the world. We bring a sharper “awareness AND acquisition” perspective to beauty, lifestyle and wellness.
