Agency Overview
GroundFloor Media (GFM) is an integrated marketing communications agency, founded in 2001 and built for people who want to do meaningful work alongside smart, driven teammates. Headquartered in Downtown Denver, our team of more than 50 communications professionals works across the U.S. and around the world through our partnership with PROI, the industry’s largest global network of independent agencies.
For more than two decades, we have helped major brands, large\-scale organizations and mission\-driven nonprofits solve complex challenges, tell compelling stories and drive measurable impact. Our work spans industries and disciplines from thought leadership and digital strategy to crisis communications, advocacy, creative campaigns and fully integrated marketing, giving team members the opportunity to do career\-defining work that truly makes a difference.
Just as important as the work we do is how we do it. GFM has built a culture rooted in trust, autonomy and entrepreneurial thinking. We believe great work happens when talented people are empowered to work in ways that support both high performance and full lives. That means flexibility in when and where they work, Trusted Time Off that allows people to recharge, Zero\-Entry Mondays to ease into the week with intention, quarterly mental health days, dedicated coaching and professional development support, and team\-building tools like Emergenetics and Enneagram that help us better understand how we work best together.
That culture has earned national recognition. GFM has been named one of Outside magazine’s Best Places to Work in the country for 12 consecutive years and remains the longest\-tenured company nationwide to rank in the top 10\.
Giving back is also core to who we are. Through our Get Grounded volunteer program and our private 501(c)(3\) Get Grounded Foundation, we have provided more than $629,000 in microgrants supporting youth mental health, child abuse and neglect prevention, and childhood food insecurity. We are proud to have been recognized four times by The Civic 50 for setting the standard for corporate citizenship in Colorado.
GFM is a place for people who are curious, collaborative and motivated to make an impact for clients, for each other and for the communities we serve. In addition to our culture\-driven benefits, we offer a competitive traditional benefits package, annual bonus opportunities and a referral program.
