Hello from BVK + Foxtrot Content Studio. Founded in 1984, and located in Milwaukee, we’ve been named one of the top 25 independent ad agencies in the country. And for good reason. We’re driven by our common passion for non-traditional thinking(In fact, our clients increasingly tell us that we look less and less like a traditional ad agency).

With this non-traditional thinking we launched Foxtrot Content Studio, our stand alone production house borne out of the experiences and insights gathered at our launching pad, BVK. Our bench is packed with professionals who have extensive publishing experience. Foxtrot partners with brands to help craft their stories and develop plans to deliver them across platform and format. And we take great pride in doing it nimbly, gracefully and efficiently.
