We Deliver…

A well-planned and sound strategy sets the stage for a campaign that will maximize your return on investment. GROUP 2 delivers cohesive marketing, graphic design and branding solutions that directly align to our clients’ business objectives, and can be seamlessly leveraged across the full range of digital and traditional media. We take the time to understand business needs first, and design to meet those needs.

When you work with GROUP 2, you will be working with a senior-level team whom you can trust. No bait and switch. We partner with the best in the industry who share the same philosophical and ethical business practices. Our scalable, process-driven approach allows us to integrate the collective expertise of our team with our clients’ business objectives while providing the transparency they seek.

GROUP 2 is driven to deliver for its clients and we believe that is reflected in our client relationships, many of which have spanned years, even decades. Our creative recommendations include our full design team, giving clients a diverse selection to choose from. So why do businesses and organizations continue to place their trust in us? Creativity. Cohesiveness. Chemistry.

Our focus on client responsiveness, coupled with our suite of project management tools, help us address every detail in an efficient and timely way, ensuring we deliver on our client commitments. GROUP 2 uses Basecamp – a cloud-based, universal project management system – to streamline and effectively manage the development and implementation processes of each project.

Chemistry is key when entrusting an agency to introduce your brand personality to the marketplace. We believe clients are looking for more than a marketing and design resource; they are looking for partners who are committed to helping them meet their objectives. GROUP 2 is dedicated to building relationships that make working together feel like the solution, not part of the problem.

“GROUP 2 consistently delivers every quality you expect from an agency relationship; creativity, flexibility and client partnership. We’ve worked through four different brands over the past eight years. They are my go-to agency for both quick turnaround projects, as well as more deep dive initiatives. A great partner all around!”

The team is very responsive to our on-demand requests and take the time to understand the project scope, ensuring we receive the best possible outcomes, all while keeping our budget in mind.”

– Director, Internal Communications, McKesson Corporation

“Brian’s team was the last to enter the bidding process for our new marketing initiative, but we realized immediately this was the team we wanted. From the beginning, Brian impressed us – starting with our new brand system development, and on through stationery, award-winning print materials, on-target advertising, dynamic video and our state-of-the-art website – with a little of everything in between. Each project has integrated seamlessly to give us a strong and growing presence in the marketplace. We could not recommend Brian’s creative leadership more highly for ongoing marketing excellence.”
– Senior Project Manager, Carl Walker Construction
