ANTI-ESTABLISHED IN 2004.

The Flatland is a small and independent—yet full-service—advertising agency in Indianapolis, Indiana. We believe smart thinking transcends the medium. That’s why we’re not merely a digital agency. Or merely a social agency. Or any other kind of narrowly defined agency.

Our niche is building strong brands and leveraging them across an entire spectrum of media—whether it’s digital marketing, traditional advertising, guerrilla tactics, or anything else.

We believe focusing on any particular medium would be a disservice to our clients.

Here at The Flatland, we’re currently working on a handful of campaigns. And yet, nary a soul is doing the mambo. “How can this be,” you ask? Two reasons. First, if everyone else is doing it, then it isn’t a creative solution&

The big trouble with that little logo.

Your logo may be good. Hell, it may be great. But it’s not a magical talisman. It contains absolutely no juju. And—hear us on this—you won’t increase sales by forcing people to stare into it.

Your advertising agency cares more about you than your doctor.

Perennially listed among the world’s least-trusted professions, advertising gets a bad rap. But ad people—the good ones, anyway—are incredibly client-focused. Almost to a fault.
