We have a lot to say.
Admittedly, some of it probably shouldn’t be said in public, so we’ll keep it to the stuff that matters. Don’t expect us to only spew words or facts. We’ll tell you what we think, and more importantly, why it should matter to you.

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,” […]
Gratitude: How do we make that mean something at Geile/Leon?
With Thanksgiving around the corner, we wanted to take the time to reflect our gratitude here at G/L. Throughout the agency, our G/Lers work to “make it mean something.” Client-work, personal life and the things that happen on a daily basis are all driven by our common cultural theme. That being said, we act this […]
Dan Diveley Does It All
Born in St. Louis and raised in Jefferson County, “Double D” grew up with a passion for music, which led to his degree in music business from Fontbonne University. Although he enjoys spending time playing the piano at church, working in his garage and hunting, around Geile/Leon, he is known as the client matchmaker.
No thanks. Not interested.
What is the value of these four little words? I was asked to write a blog about something I know, or some point of view…anything that might educate, spark discussion or demonstrate G/L’s culture. Well, with my 25 years of experience on the front-end of ad agency business development, I thought I’d write about something […]
Making It Mean Something For 23 Years
This past Saturday, November 3, marked 23 years in business for Geile/Leon Marketing Communications. We celebrated with employees on Friday with a lunch and a presentation from our management team titled, Make It Mean Something.
With Time, Comes Greater Knowledge
What could possibly be better for agency life than experience? How about a dynamic, outgoing personality to go with it? Geile/Leon Marketing Communications’ longtime account service leader, Miranda Warren, just so happens to have it all. And now, the time has finally come to get to know the driving force that has been pushing our […]
Social E-Commerce: The Wave of the Future or The Ultimate Cop-out?
We’ve come a long way in a short time since the “birth” of the Internet. House hunters can view satellite images of hopeful homesteads while on the go, long lost friendships can reconnect with a single tap from their phone, and almost all of anyone’s shopping needs can be satisfied without even stepping into an […]
Geile/Leon’s Halloween Costume Challenge
At G/L, we are serious about getting into the spirit for Halloween. In addition to booby-trapping the office with faux severed limbs and a candy bowl that terrorizes anyone who dares to sneak a Hershey’s Bar, each year we select a theme and show up to work dressed up in our own costumes. Some are […]
The 2013 Media Marketplace—An Opinion
Call me an optimist (or pessimist if you’re the one who has to buy media in a high demand marketplace), but my bet is that advertisers will encounter a rather robust 2013 marketplace, relative to recent non-election years. While I don’t have a crystal ball, there is a lot of recent news leading me to […]
Geile/Leon Travels Halfway Around World for Our Clients
If you follow our Facebook page, you may have seen images of my latest trade show adventure. However, there was something slightly different about this client work—it was the furthest I have ever ventured outside U.S. borders. Looking back, it’s not very often that people have such an amazing opportunity to travel halfway around the […]
