A14, AIGAKC’s design awards, were handed out over the weekend and we were honored to bring home some wins.

Pets make our lives better, so anytime we find a chance to help make their lives better we’re all in. Plus, we love the kind of research that sits on our lap. Here are a few examples from our latest fuzzy clientele.

Since 1978, Willoughby Design has created branding and design for dozens of companies, non-profits, start-ups, arts and culture. Here’s to 40 more years of creativity, adventure and dogs in the office.

This year Willoughby is looking back on 40 years in design and business, and I am looking forward to launching KC Making History, a new AIGA national initiative to preserve the rich history of design in design hubs throughout the United States.

Need to stand out from the competition? Oh honey, welcome to the hive. Willoughby has nearly 40 years experience helping CPG brands reinvent on shelf with packaging and design that connects.

For the past few years we’ve created Holiday cards with shareable gift tags ready to punch out and pop on a present. It’s a tradition that our friends and clients look forward to as much as we do.

Working on a paper promotion for Neenah is any designer’s dream, so we were thrilled to be invited to bring their papers to life with The Alchemy of Design piece.

We were recently honored by the Kansas City Chapter of AIGA with four awards at their 13th Annual Design Awards, otherwise known as A13.

We love bees at Willoughby. They’re industrious, collaborative and dedicated to making the world a better place.

Say “advertising agency” and the immediate reaction will probably be thoughts of Mad Men.

I have attended over 20 TED conferences that have spanned 4 decades starting in 1984. I have captured countless ideas in my sketchbooks over the years.

We love our pets here at Willoughby. On any given day you can find KC, Gordon, Colby, Fritzi, Annabelle, Wiggie, Beck, Buddy or some other pooch roaming around the office.
