Sullivan

Sullivan We help organizations with complex, high-stakes offerings to build and activate brands that move audiences to action.

Sullivan partners with organizations of consequence whose complex challenges bring forth decisions that have significant impact. Whether that’s deciding who to trust with your investments or retirement plan, choosing where you go to college, or selecting a technology solution that changes how your company will operate, we help our clients reach their constituencies when and where it matters most.

Founded in 1990 by Barbara Apple Sullivan, we’ve helped top organizations uncover the humanity behind their complexity since our inception. Where other agencies focus on high-level awareness building, Barbara recognized an opportunity to help organizations with complex ecosystems use brand to reach customers at critical points of decision.

We’re hopping on this trend to celebrate the women of consequence here at Sullivan.

Our team had the pleasure of hosting Nick Borenstein for this year’s Webby Talk - Trust the Generative AI Process. Our Partner and CCO, John Paolini, joined him afterwards for a fireside chat where they explored what it takes to build trust in this new environment. With so much AI-generated creative content in the world, it’s important to remember that the future of storytelling still belongs to people. AI may accelerate research and spark ideas, but it’s our strategy, empathy, and creativity that give those ideas meaning. Thank you to The Webby Awards for your partnership, and to our Sullivan team and clients for an inspiring conversation!

We’re so proud to see our Associate Strategist, Emily Pasquinelli, representing Sullivan as a panelist at UVA’s McIntire School of Commerce!

The event brought together students and alumni for an engaging conversation on marketing careers—filled with smart questions, great energy, and meaningful connections.

We’re grateful to be part of the McIntire community and inspired by the next generation of Cavalier marketers who are already thinking about what’s next.
