about us

Founded in 2006, Ground Lift Media provides guerilla marketing, street team, and printing solutions for large + small businesses, non-profits, and creatives. Our mission is to understand a brand's heart so we can effectively communicate with, and create organic connections to, the communities integral to sustained growth.

We preach this method because we practice it. And practiced it, over and over.

 

As young independent artists making a name for ourselves in Chicago, we quickly learned that our job went far beyond creating and taking the stage. You often are your own graphic designer, manager, promoter, booking agent, ticketer, merch person... and of course, street team. Of all those hats, street teamer was the most enjoyable. Being able to connect with businesses, shop keepers, and industry folks while out there doing this facet of the job meant stronger connections to the overall 'scene.' This is when we began to fully understand the power of eye-level and guerilla marketing. 

 

The phrase 'ground lift' is a term used in audio technology that essentially means 'to remove static between connected devices' (we are musicians after all!) But this concept is the driving force behind our company culture. Any successful real world marketing campaign or branding effort is directly related to the quality of the communication and plugging it into the right eyes and ears.

Could you be reaching more people and making an impact 'offline'? These are the problems we love to solve!
