Who we are = Who you are

Flip around and find out.

Welcome. My name is Nieco, and I’ll be your storyteller throughout this slideshow (as well as the brains behind this wonderful creation).

–> Insert interview question one: How did Gorilla get started?

Truth be told, there is nothing fancy to it; Gorilla was started because I failed. I had big dreams of working for the likes of Wieden+Kennedy. Desperate to prove myself at whatever cost, I sent applications near and far, hoping to find someone to give me a chance. The reality check hit me hard. No response, no auto-rejections, nothing. Now, I look back on this moment as the single most important moment in my life because it pushed me to learn from my failures. So I started Gorilla from an idea: if I could make others more successful and discover what it took to help others accomplish their goals, I would be worthy of their time and money. Thus accomplish mine. And if I didn’t, I would fail. It’s as simple as that.

Hindsight is 20/20, and the reality is that this job is tough. The tone you hear is who I am and I don’t apologize for it because I’ve put the work in. I know what it takes, the effort that’s demanded, and the skills necessary to succeed. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here telling my story. I created this company for those like me. The small business owner fighting for their family hoping to make a name for themselves. I’m grateful for my failures because they taught me that real value is measured by your willingness to succeed no matter what. To treat people not just how you want to be treated but how people expect you to treat them. Marketing isn’t complicated. The untold truth is that most people aren’t willing to do the work necessary for you to succeed because they think their time is more valuable than yours. My mission is to fix that.

Our solution to the industry is our focus on the goals of our clients. To protect them from those who overpromise and underdeliver. We are built to deliver real, measurable results to achieve their goals when they call. We commit to providing value in every aspect of what we do and to maximizing every dollar of our client’s hard-earned money to further their goals, Deliver “big agency” marketing for the “little guys”: the everyday small business owner who wants someone to join them in their fight for success.

The only guarantee in marketing is that there is no guarantee. Eventually, a strategy won’t work, money will be spent and results won’t come. It happens. The difference between agencies is in the ownership of the problem, entirely and without excuse. Every problem has a solution. The only real question then is: who cares enough to own it? We’re honest about who we are because we know the work it took to get here and the success we’ve delivered for our clients. We let talkers, talk and prove our value through the simple art of being a “doer.” Click around and find out.

If you’re looking for (insert 3-letter marketing service) you have come to the wrong place. The reality is that if you knew what you needed, you wouldn’t call us. Gorilla is the solution to the broader problem. And what we deliver on holds much more value beneath the surface.

We know you want more phone calls and more web forms. But, what makes us different is that we care about your ability to generate results organically by being the best business (and owner) you can be so you can grow to the next phase and break that glass ceiling holding you back.

As you can see, we have fun in what we do and are honest about this work. As a committed digital marketing company, we share the same struggles and fight the same fights. If you’re interested in seeing what we can do for you, book a call with us. We’re appointment-only for the moment, but if you let us know a little about you, we will always take the time to help you when you’re ready to go big.

We look forward to meeting you.
