At GMD Agency, we live by a simple yet powerful mantra: “We show up every day for our clients, for each other, and for ourselves.” This is not just a motto; it is the very heartbeat of our organization. It shapes who we are, what we do, and how we do it.

The History of the GMD Heartbeat

In 2008, my business partner, Rayell Geral, and I founded GMD Agency (GMD). Coming from an agency background, we witnessed first-hand, everything we didn’t want GMD to become. Unlike typical design agencies, GMD is not just about delivering creative solutions. We are driven by our mantra and we approach each project with a commitment to collaboration, innovation, and excellence, both within our team and alongside our clients. Our mantra of ‘Showing Up” is profoundly embedded in everything we do, and is delivered across 3 important aspects.

1. Showing up for our clients

As the Managing Director of GMD Agency, I am at the forefront of building client relationships. Our dedication to showing up every day for our clients has resulted in a loyal client base, with some partnerships spanning over a decade. This longevity is a testament to the trust and satisfaction our clients have in our ability to deliver consistently exceptional results. By understanding and anticipating their needs, we create tailored strategies that drive success, ensuring that our clients see us not just as a service provider, but as a dedicated partner in their journey of growth and success.

2. Showing up for each other

At the heart of GMD is a diverse and talented team that thrives on collaboration and mutual support. We believe that our people are our greatest asset, and by investing in their growth and well-being, we foster a culture of trust and camaraderie. Consistently showing up for our colleagues is an important part of who we are, and it serves as an important foundation for enhancing morale and maintaining a thriving workplace for all team members.

3. Showing up for ourselves

We understand that in order to show up effectively for our clients and each other, we must also show up for ourselves. This means making time for both our personal and professional development, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and ensuring that we have the resources and support that we need to thrive. We encourage continuous learning and we provide opportunities for growth within the company. We encourage our team members to maintain their well-being, which in turn enables them to bring their best selves to work every day.
