Introducing GROW: A full-funnel marketing solutions provider

GROW combines GBM’s first-party audience network, industry-expert content creators, owned media brands (such as CompositesWorld, Modern Machine Shop, CompositesWorld and Plastics Technology), and extensive data insights to help industrial manufacturing companies reach their brand and business goals.

GROW is comprised of four pillars. GROW Performance, a campaign performance and audience insights platform, launched earlier this year with exclusive access for GBM clients. On the heels of GROW Performance’s successful launch, GROW has expanded to include GROW Marketing, GROW Studio and GROW Intelligence.

The GROW Marketing team takes an audience-first approach to crafting strategic marketing programs for clients that build brand, drive demand and connect businesses with qualified prospects.

“Our clients are getting more than campaign support, they’re gaining access to trusted content, vetted audience reach and established media channels.”

To fuel those marketing programs, GROW Studio, an experienced team of industry writers, designers and videographers, works with clients to craft compelling original content.

GROW Intelligence (formerly Gardner Intelligence) offers custom research services to inform go-to-market strategies through brand affinity and market analysis studies. In addition, GROW Intelligence will continue to produce familiar studies including the Gardner Business Index, World Machine Tool Survey, Top Shops Benchmarking and the Industrial Buying Influence Survey.

“GBM’s brands are proven leaders in providing media and marketing solutions in industrial markets. Building on that established success, GROW Marketing will deliver the same level of professional service and commitment GBM is known for,” says Debi Williams, director of GROW marketing services. “As a dedicated and informed marketing partner, we see ourselves as an extension of our clients’ marketing teams, offering strategic planning, creative services and campaign monitoring.”

“Backed by the Gardner Industrial Network, our clients are getting more than campaign support, they’re gaining access to trusted content, vetted audience reach and established media channels,” says Rick Kline, Jr., president of GBM. “We are uniquely positioned to understand both the position of our clients and the needs and interests of the industrial audience.”
