Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Anthony Galizia . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Anthony , thanks for joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

At GW Branding Group our mission is to deliver tangible marketing strategies and services that will empower businesses to grow while maintaining the standard of ethical marketing. We believe that it is our duty to have our client’s best interest at heart and that includes how they spend their marketing dollars. Together we partner with each client to cut through the red tape that is the divide between marketing, sales, and branding and we believe in delivering one cohesive brand.

Going beyond just the mere words of a mission statement, we can break ours down into three equal parts.

1. We are heavily focused on developing marketing strategies that will uniquely with each one of our clients. No one strategy fits all and yet we can take what we have learned from our experiences to build on new strategies.

2. Ethical marketing is our main priority. It is fully our duty as marketers to have your best interest in mind when crafting custom strategies or launching campaigns. Our goal is to provide quality work at an affordable price. You are trying to grow your business not have an outspending competition with your competitors and we get that at GW Branding Group.

3. When we partner with a new client, our first goal is to make sure that the brand is aligned from the marketing and sales to the custom messaging that your brand is trying to get across. Our goal is to bring it all together in harmony.

To understand why we believe in our mission statement, we have to go to the beginning of GW Branding Group’s history, even before the birth of GW.

Co-Founder Anthony Galizia graduated from GCU in Phoenix, AZ, with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Advertising from the Colangelo College of Business. Upon entering the workforce in 2021, amidst a world still adjusting to the aftermath of COVID-19, Anthony began his career as a marketing coordinator for a construction company. The company, eager to expand its brand, needed someone to manage their social media presence and coordinate with various marketing vendors, including a website agency, social media consultant, and PPC agency. This unique post-pandemic landscape presented both challenges and opportunities, shaping Anthony’s understanding of the critical role marketing plays in navigating uncertain times.

During this time, Anthony saw firsthand the struggle of aligning each vendor and the sales team to share the same goals. Each vendor was charging top dollar, yet the cost of having multiple vendors was not justified by the amount of work they were providing. The company was spending as much as it would on a full-time employee but receiving less attention than a part-time employee. This misalignment and inefficiency highlighted a gap in the market for ethical, cohesive marketing strategies. These experiences laid the foundation for the mission of GW Branding Group: to deliver tangible marketing strategies and services that empower businesses to grow while maintaining the standard of ethical marketing. We believe it is our duty to have our clients’ best interests at heart, ensuring they get the most value from their marketing dollars. Together, we partner with each client to cut through the red tape dividing marketing, sales, and branding, delivering one cohesive brand.

They also review website contracts and assist companies in exiting bad website agreements while simultaneously solving the problem with in-house SEO and website development services. Their goal is to provide comprehensive support that aligns with their clients’ best interests, ensuring they achieve sustainable growth through ethical and effective marketing practices.

Any fun sales or marketing stories?

One of the favorite marketing success stories of GW Branding Group involves Skyline Tree Services, a local Chicagoland company that had been serving the community for over 35 years. Despite their longevity, they were struggling to keep up with the digital age. Their website was outdated, and their online presence was practically nonexistent. When they approached GW Branding Group, it was seen as a challenge they were excited to tackle.

Skyline Tree Services needed a complete rebrand, a robust SEO campaign, and a brand-new website. From the outset, it was clear this was no small task. The company’s established history meant GW Branding Group had to honor their legacy while modernizing their brand. They dove in, determined to deliver results that would exceed expectations.

GW Branding Group started by developing a stunning, user-friendly website that not only looked great but was optimized for search engines. This involved extensive keyword research, on-page SEO, and a strategic content plan to ensure Skyline Tree Services would rank highly for relevant search terms. The SEO campaign launched was aggressive and comprehensive, targeting both local and broader search terms to maximize their reach.

The results were astounding. GW Branding Group managed to double the number of keyword rankings Skyline Tree Services held, significantly boosting their website traffic and generating a surge in inbound leads. The transformation was remarkable, breathing new life into a venerable company that had been a staple in the community for decades.

But the journey with Skyline Tree Services didn’t end there. GW Branding Group continues to work with them, providing ongoing consultation for all their marketing needs.
