Straight North Reviews - Read Full Review

Overview

The history of Straight North began in 1997, when current Straight North President and Creative Director Kevin Duffy opened Duffy Design Works, a graphic design agency. Located in the western suburbs of Chicago, Duffy Design Works served middle market firms, specializing in collateral communications and producing everything from sales brochures to annual reports to large-format trade show graphics. Over the time of its existence, the company built a strong reputation for doing high-quality work and conducting business with professionalism.

In 2008, Duffy and David Duerr, an entrepreneur and investor with expertise in marketing and executive management, joined forces to co-found Straight North, absorbing Duffy Design Works’ graphic capabilities, and adding greater concentration to Internet marketing services and website development. Duffy and Duerr’s vision was to create a full-service agency helping the underserved middle market. Duerr, also a firm partner, currently serves as our CEO. Straight North established its headquarters in Oak Brook, IL, a suburb west of Chicago.
