Excellent customer service is memorable. One of our team member’s so-so Yelp review of an Atlanta-area restaurant resulted in a quick, personal, and non-defensive response directly from the owner. A response that challenged her to a “redo.” Now THIS is how you handle customer service. We’ve taken note.

From a staid, governmental sounding brand (Juvenile Justice Foundation) to a completely new name (youthSpark) and look that excites its zealots and builds the rally cry for abused youth. “There is no more meaningful work that the FBI participates in than rescuing children,” James Comey FBI Director.

Kristin Connor, Executive Director: “SOOOOO much credit has to be given to the incredible marketing effort we have staged with GRM… you HAVE to feel proud. Your work is making SUCH a difference in the lives of many.”
Humbled, that is all.

Often, less is more. In life, in marketing and in communicating a zealotry experience. Especially when you really zero in on the right target audience. It translated to increased ADR and REVPAR for Daufuskie Island Resort.

Mauna Lani Resort was caught in the sea of seasonal promotions that created a negatively-spiraling, price-driven perception. GRM repositioned the brand by taking advantage of a natural and historical perspective: the resort resided on the land that served as the retreat of ancient kings. I mean, it can’t get much more authentic Hawaii than that. By connecting the heritage of ancient kings to the brand experience, Mauna Lani ignited the passion of seasoned, upscale travelers.
The result: 5 straight years of increasing ADR, occupancy rates and overall sales. People will pay for an authentic experience that is correctly woven through branding.
