American Century Investments

A PERFECT MATCH

GRP Media Client since 2019

When investment management firm American Century Investments was looking for a media agency to handle their business in late 2018, they got an insider tip from an already big fan of GRP Media’s who also happens to be a current client of ours. American Century was impressed with what they heard about GRP Media’s work in the investment services category and how well-versed the team here was on their critically important financial advisor target. When we did our own research on American Century, we were also quite impressed with what we learned and knew that they were the kind of scrappy and successful challenger brand that we worked particularly well with. We also couldn’t agree more with their Founder Jim Stower’s mantra: "If we make our clients successful, then we, in turn, will be successful."

Duke's Mayonnaise

SPREADING SOUTHERN GOODNESS

GRP Media Client since 2005

Eugenio Duke started selling her tangy and delicious homemade mayonnaise in Greenville, South Carolina in 1917. Fast forward 100+ years later and Duke’s is not only still a viable and growing brand, it is considered by many die-hard fans and chefs to be THE BEST mayonnaise on the market today. And Duke’s, with the help of GRP Media, has been working hard to “spread” its twangy goodness well beyond its core southern market roots so it can be enjoyed by mayonnaise lovers everywhere. In 2020, the GRP team recommended that Duke’s fully leverage its fans’ unprecedented passion for college football and tailgating with delicious southern foods by entitling a College Bowl game, as a result, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl was born. Now, people all over the country and beyond are being introduced to the 100+ year old delicious “secret” of Duke’s Mayonnaise.

Northern Trust

GLOBAL PERSONAL TOUCH

GRP Media Client since 2003

How to convey the personal touch a large, global financial institution provides? It requires intimate knowledge of the financial landscape and its intricate terminology as well as developing relationships with the financial media community. With the goal of growing awareness of the brand and its various services, the Northern Trust media team develops separate, insightful plans that individually connect with the most affluent Americans, financial advisors, international asset managers and international custodians for defined benefits/defined contributions through a combination of pinpointed print, selective TV, B2B and B2C digital display and video, custom content, webinars, paid social and private events. Annual third party studies have demonstrated a steady rise in awareness of Northern Trust and its services among the complete spectrum of their target audiences.

JUST THE BEGINNING

GRP Media Client since 2018

When Rush, a Chicago-based health system comprised of several world-class hospitals and treatment centers, decided it was time to relaunch their brand message to get Chicagoans more aware of its nationally ranked and recognized specialties and overall award-winning patient care, they turned to GRP Media to handle their media strategy and buying needs. The GRP Media team could not be more excited to be partnering with Rush alongside a group of passionate agency partners to help them achieve the much deserved best-in-class recognition in the marketplace.

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago

IT'S FOR THE KIDS

GRP Media Client since 2008

Lurie Children’s, formerly Children’s Memorial, has been providing nationally renowned pediatric care in the Chicagoland area for well over 100 years. Lurie’s approach has always been to put the kids and their families at the center of everything they do, while staying true to their commitment to always provide the latest innovations in medical technology, research and family-friendly design. Lurie’s is a non-profit organization with relatively modest marketing budgets, but it’s essential that parents and caretakers throughout Chicagoland are made and kept aware of the hospital’s world-class pediatric services and treatments. The GRP Media team takes great pride in stretching Lurie’s marketing spend each and every year to appear to be much larger than it really is through a powerful strategic approach, artful negotiations, and especially strong and deep relationships with the Chicagoland advertising community which completely embraces GRP’s IT’S FOR THE KIDS mantra.

Zurich North America

A brighter future together

GRP Media Client since 2024

In late 2023, Zurich North America, one of the most recognized and respected multi-line insurance companies in the US, reached out to GRP Media as part of a media agency-of-record search process. It didn't take long for us to recognize that we shared many of the same values when it comes to business partnership. GRP Media has enjoyed nearly 30 years of success by seeking out partners who are not only looking for best-in-class client service, but a true long-lasting partnership. The team at Zurich sparked to the notion of not having to feel like a small fish in a big pond with your agency partner-- no matter what your advertising budget is.

We were also very impressed with Zurich's commitment to aligning their business activities around their goal of becoming among the most responsible and impactful companies in the world, particularly in the areas of sustainability and climate change, and we are looking forward to playing a small role in helping Zurich make the world better.

Delivering on our promise

Of course there must be proof in the pudding that GRP Media actually delivers on all that we promise. Just as we research everything to find the best media platforms for our clients, we methodically research ourselves as well.

We regularly conduct client satisfaction surveys to get important feedback from our client partners. The results demonstrate that our client partners believe that we are staying true to our promise to supply superlative service, smart solutions, and regular senior level engagement.

"We work in a niche, trade business with limited media options and a lot of cultural and regulatory eccentricities. Of all the service providers we work with, GRP media consistently impresses me with their ability to understand our business and to ask questions and get clarification when they don't. They definitely are a business partner rather than a vendor. It's impressive."

— Rush University System for Health

"True partners. True value makers. True champions for our cause. If you are looking for a firm that will help you drive your advertising to the next level, then you should get to know GRP Media.

— FlexShares

"With GRP Media it’s about the people, their willingness to always be flexible and work with us on our terms, their unwavering responsiveness. They negotiate media buys on our behalf as if they were using their own money."
