Defiantly Human

wonderfully human and defiantly so.

When copywriter Steve Connelly established Connelly Partners in 1999, he set out to do one thing: to show the world that good people can do exceptional work. We celebrate the unique abilities of humans and those things only humans can do and can feel.

Our purpose is to be Defiantly Human, to defend humans and explore the emotional reasons we all have for buying what we buy, liking who we like, loving who we love, living where we live. We are 120 Defiantly Human people that believe in the power of data, but also the reality of emotion.

Founded in 1999, Connelly Partners Boston is the largest independently owned agency in New England with over 130 people across both offices. Finding that defiantly human insight that consumers will deeply relate to has been the main goal of the agency since day one.

Both CP Boston and Dublin work simultaneously to provide integrated services which range from advertising and analytics to full-service media, PPC, digital and shopper marketing.

The Defiantly Human spirit cannot be constrained by borders—natural or man-made. So, it crossed the pond and found another home here with us in Dublin. And not solely because we’re a tech hub. But because we too understand that data should inform, not determine thoughts. And algorithms should advise, and never define ideas. Our desire to constantly tweak, reinvent and reimagine are all basic tenets of being Defiantly Human and because of that, it’s spirit has never felt more welcome.
