Our Philosophy
G+A believes that bigger is not necessarily better. Potential clients may have a tendency to gravitate towards larger agencies in the belief they will receive more senior strategic counseling. Instead, after the initial pitch, what they get are junior people, huge invoices … and a sense of betrayal.
Our philosophy is that our clients will relish a boutique agency where the principal and other senior associates are directly involved in the account, fees are reasonable and success is measured by results. Our associates are seasoned, independent professionals who share our vision. Each one brings a unique background to the mix.
Consequently, we can provide teams uniquely assembled to complement your account’s specific needs – on either an ongoing or project basis – offering a breadth of experience rather than just focusing on a specific, rote discipline. This multi-faceted, vertically integrated approach to public relations and marketing allows companies to maximize synergies, as well as simultaneously and cost-effectively focus on a variety of inter-related agendas.
