Team

We’re a team with an innate desire to shake things up and do what works now, not in the past. Combining a small agency and a large-business approach, CIMA has what it takes to pioneer an independent agency. We’re beholden to the brands we represent, but more importantly, to their consumer. Our niche roles weren’t slapped together overnight but developed over time from experience and passion and became refined out of pragmatic success.​
