Named a 2021 Small Agency of the Year, Gold Southeast by Ad Age. We are proudly
small, independent, and female-owned.
We're a collective of fun-loving, intelligent, imaginative, driven, and sometimes rowdy
weirdos. Like any good Kentuckian, we're genuine and hospitable. We don't like big
egos. We're open-minded. We play nice. We share. We're fostering a culture centered
on inclusiveness, where all of our people can show up daily and be 100% themselves
and feel 100% comfortable, celebrated and respected for the perspective they bring to
CORNETT.
Our goal is to be an agency where any brand can come to us with any audience and
challenge, and we can deliver and connect culturally beyond their wildest expectations.ABOUT LEXINGTON
If you've been to Lexington, you love it. If you haven't been, you will. A beautiful,
culturally rich place full of good people. For a mid-sized city, we have an oversized but
tight-knit creative community that permeates everything-food, art, bourbon, music, and
industry. A little bit Southern, a little bit Midwest, making for a vibe that's unique but the
best of everything.We're surrounded by rolling hills and gorgeous horse farms, with a thriving, bustling and
constantly evolving downtown. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass
kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute
seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological
wonders in America. Not to mention, the cost of living makes you feel like you're getting away with
something. Like we said, there's a lot to love about our big little city.WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?

Management.
