Bernstein-Rein is an advertising agency located in Kansas City, Missouri. It is the largest ad agency in the four-state area (Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa), and currently the sixth-largest privately-held agency in the United States and the 36th largest agency in the United States. The agency is probably best known for it's development of the McDonald's Happy Meal in 1976, and its 32-year relationship with Wal-Mart, which helped grow the retailer from a small Bentonville, Arkansas chain to the largest in the world.[3]
