The Gershfeld Group

We help companies of all sizes connect with sophisticated advertising creative and execution for their marketing needs.

The Gershfeld Group applies skills such as deep listening and the qualitative assessment of organizational culture to find the best fit between brands and advertising. We develop marketing strategy and insights for companies, and then access a large network within the Chicago advertising community (creative directors, photographers, designers, directors, digital strategy, mobile etc.) to design and execute an integrated program for that strategy. The Gershfeld Group brings a balanced mix of rigor and divergent thinking to projects, creating the conditions for the best possible work outcomes to emerge.
