Cain & Company

Cain & Company We are full-service marketing agency in Rockford, IL, with an edge in B2B marketing. We became part of a national network. We called it Cain & Company.

It all started in 1973, with Lois Cain and George Fischer in a small office in a small town, Rockford, Illinois. In 1976, a national firm, Doremus & Company, took notice of our success and acquired us. Ten years later, the worldwide firm of BBD&O acquired Doremus & Company, making us part of the third largest agency in the world. In 1985, changes in the way of doing business led us back to our roots in Rockford, and we purchased the company back from BBD&O. Let us put our strong history to work for you.

We’re hiring a Project Director! 🤩

Part account manager, part strategic thinker. All about keeping things moving in the right direction.

We’re looking for someone who can lead projects from kickoff to finish, understand what our clients need (and what they might need next), and see where a good idea could turn into something bigger.

If you’re equal parts organized, people-focused, and big-picture minded, we should talk.

We lost our founder, Lois Cain, on July 1st at the age of 97.

Lois started Cain & Company in 1973, in an industry that was almost entirely run by men. She didn't have a blueprint, so she made one up as she went. Over 50 years later, we're still here, inspired by the woman who laid the path for our agency to become what it is today.

Sending love to her family and everyone who knew her. If you worked with Lois or have a story about her, we'd love to hear it. 🤍

Celebrating women isn't a month for us. It's been part of who we are since Lois Cain opened the agency in 1973. Over 50 years later, that hasn't changed.

Here's to wrapping up Women's History Month from our team of 11 women (and 2 very outnumbered men who keep up just fine). 🥂

We don't skip training. But San Diego definitely made it easier to say yes. ☀️

We attended Workamajig's Project Management Bootcamp to take a deep dive into our systems.

When project management is working, nobody notices. That's the standard we set for ourselves on every project.

For our clients, it looks like:
✔ Accurate quoting
✔ Airtight project tracking
✔ Smoother workflows & faster turnaround
✔ Clearer reporting

Basically, better project management on our end = better results on yours.

Of course, we had to document the trip. Scroll for receipts. 📸

From typewriters to a truly unhinged number of Google Chrome tabs. 40 years ago, Amy walked into an agency that looked very different than it does today.

She built her career here and helped shape Cain & Company as it’s grown and changed over the years. Her mark on our agency is impossible to miss. We’re lucky to have her.

Happy anniversary, Amy! 🩷

How do you close out a year that gave us so much to be proud of?

A rebrand that truly aligned us.
A team that kept raising the standard.
And clients who didn’t just trust us, but inspired greatness.

A lot has changed in 2025, but we’re carrying our legacy and a whole lot of strategy into 2026.

See ya there! ✌️

✨ We’re hiring! ✨

Know someone who can nail a brand voice and knows how to adapt it for every marketing channel? Send them our way.

This role is perfect for someone who understands that great copy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Who knows that a white paper, a blog, and a social post can all sound like the same brand… without sounding the same.

Who’s comfortable taking creative risks, but also implements feedback to make the work better.

And who has a strong marketing background, understanding how messaging, strategy, and performance all connect.

If someone comes to mind (or if you’re reading this thinking “that’s me!”), let's talk.

Veterans Day appreciation for our copywriter Christopher Clukey today! 🇺🇸

He served just over 4 years in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic on KC-135 refueling planes. We asked how his service still shapes the way he works now, and what he said really landed (pun intended ✈️):

“The team is what counts the most. Individuals with skill and commitment are crucial, but nothing happens without collective effort and the ability to depend on each other. Even when I was in charge of a jet, nothing I’d learned was of any use without the other airmen working with me to get her ready to fly the mission.”

Big thanks to Chris and to all who have served. We’re thankful for you today and every day.
