GMLV is an integrated marketing communications company specializing in media planning and placement. The company's founders who have successfully run marketing at some of the largest companies in the world have learned how to use the marketing metrics of international globalization and apply them to national and regional businesses in the US.As a Founder & Managing Member of the firm, Ray has overseen the rapid growth of the agency which is headquartered in New Jersey. The Company started in Newark, NJ in a building that was once one of Thomas Edison's original workshops. Proclaiming that GMLV ideally fits in with the Edison Workshop Building's credo as a place where "ideas are born, inventions crafted and innovation perfected", we have integrated the wisdom and creativity of Edison and incorporated them into the business and service that is GMLV. After restoring the Historic Building and spending over 10 years in Newark, the Company recently relocated to suburban offices in Montclair and Eatontown, NJ. GMLV has 2 senior founding partners, 2 associate partners and 20 employees focused in digital and social media, direct marketing, creative and design services, and media planning and buying. Everyday the staff and partners at GMLV come to their offices and strive to be worthy of Edison's genius by developing new ideas and creative ways for their clients to remain competitive in a global economy that continually punishes the traditionalist and yet consistently rewards the innovator.With unique marketing expertise in Sports, Automotive, Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, Banking, Finance, Insurance, and Pharma, GMLV has developed a solid reputation for being "big enough to help and yet small enough to care." It's a formula that has led to double digit growth as the Company enters its 14th year.As Thomas Edison once said "If we all worked to our creative potential, we would astound ourselves."
