GLOW

Finalist in Small Agency

Objectives

GLOW is more than a social agency. Our sweet spot is at the intersection of social media, strategy, technology and design. We provide big thinking, backed by superior creative and nimble execution to help clients identify and achieve their goals. With nearly two decades of experience, we've been "doing social" before anyone called it "social," which means we really know how people behave online. By consistently identifying the right audience for our clients and engaging them in meaningful ways, we create quantifiable, successful initiatives that help our clients use the Internet smarter. Our agency may be boutique in size but it’s a behemoth in terms of capability. Over the past few years, we’ve grown into a powerful and tight-knit team, attracting a fantastic roster of clients. We take tremendous pride in the results we achieve for our clients, with whom we have enjoyed long-standing relationships by helping them navigate the rapidly evolving world of digital and social and keeping them out in front. What was once campaign-based project work has evolved into seats at our clients’ tables. As our clients have grown into partners, we’ve gained intimate knowledge of their company, brand and social goals, affording us the opportunity to devise long-lead strategies to move their businesses forward in quantifiable ways. All of this has helped make 2013 the most successful year in the agency's history and we’re poised to continue our growth in 2014. Our team's diverse sets of skills add up to much more than the sum of their parts. With our strategists working closely together with designers and developers throughout the entire process, GLOW creates forward-thinking and cutting-edge social campaigns that help redefine how properties are marketed. GLOW's collaborative approach ensures that all of our campaigns benefit from every team members' experience and expertise. We've truly hit our stride in the past year and look forward to continuing this momentum into 2014.Our unique brand of creativity, innovation and effectiveness has led to our best year to date.
