The Adventures of KL
You don’t have to spend much time around the G/L office to realize that Kathy “KL” Leonard is one of the most colorful characters here.

5 Tips for Prioritizing Marketing Goals When Everything’s a Priority

Frivolous spending is a thing of the past—you have a budget to stick to and measurable objectives that you want to reach. But, there are so many things that need to be accomplished.

G/L’s Social Butterfly
Whether on the phone with clients or zoned-in to her laptop with her headphones on, Account Executive Erin Gitau is always connected. An avid social media user, Erin is active on Facebook and Twitter, and is completely on the Instagram bandwagon. “I’m not a very good photographer, but Instagram makes me look like I am,” Erin explains. “Plus, I like getting a snapshot into people’s lives – stalkerish? Maybe. But, all social media is.” Erin loves to post pictures of her excursions around St. Louis, her dog, Nellie (named after the St. Louis rapper), her husband Curtis, and her adorable nephews and niece.
