Making a Difference

Our people are hard wired to make a difference, for our clients, for each other, for our environment and for those in need. GPJ is a founding agency and proud participant in the Project Pledge program, an industry-leading approach to creating social impact that matches every one of our employees’ individual donations to their charities of choice. Together our network of sister agencies have committed to giving $1 million each year to non-profits in the U.S. and abroad.

Take a look how we’re doing our best to make a difference.

Community Engagement

The more we work together in the communities we serve, the stronger our own community becomes. And that’s vital for the work that we do and the organization that we strive to be.

GPJ approaches sustainability, not as a to-do list of green initiatives, but a business imperative built into every level of planning and strategy with our clients.

Event Sustainability

GPJ fully contributes to corporate social responsibility on all ecological, ethical and social aspects.
