What is GSD & M?

In 1971, some recent University of Texas graduates didn’t know you couldn’t open a national advertising agency during a little college town known primarily for hippies and armadillos. They hustled their way into some presentations, came up with some smart ideas, and learned the way to make money doing what they loved. And it worked. This courageous group helped elect a president, launch an airline, turn Walmart into a worldwide retail force, even gave Texas its rallying cry. Their bravery is now our modus operandi. Today we are a worldwide agency within the music, food, and “weird” capital of the planet. The company won the Super Bowl, cleaned up at Cannes, and still helps iconic brands win a day. They live by our core values and believe the workplace should be ready to think just like the diverse, multicultural world that it’s talking about. GSD & M think it’s better, to be honest than cool. They also play foosball within the agency bar, let our dogs come to figure and eat breakfast tacos for dinner.

Advertising is always present, though people may not be aware of it. In today's world, advertising uses every possible media to get its message through. It does this via television, print (newspapers, magazines, journals, etc), radio, press, internet, direct selling, hoardings, mailers, contests, sponsorships, posters, clothes, events, colors, sounds, visuals, and even people (endorsements).

The advertising industry is made of companies that advertise, agencies that create the advertisements, media that carries the ads, and a host of people like copy editors, visualizers, brand managers, researchers, creative heads, and designers who take it the last mile to the customer or receiver. A company that needs to advertise itself and/or its products hires an advertising agency. The company briefs the agency on the brand, its imagery, the ideals and values behind it, the target segments, and so on. The agencies convert the ideas and concepts to create the visuals, text, layouts, and themes to communicate with the user. After approval from the client, the ads go on air, as per the bookings done by the agency's media buying unit.

GSD & M Case Study
Goodyear Tires

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is your everyday multinational tire manufacturer and an American icon: gritty, genuine, and authentic. Except for most people, purchasing tires ranks somewhere between filing income taxes and getting a dental exam. So we work especially hard to make an emotional connection to tires, something most folks don’t normally care about. And while we'd not be ready to ever stop tire buying from being a grudge purchase, we are creating resonance and a bond between people, and each tire deserves to be labeled Goodyear.

This corporation makes the quietest and, therefore, the most energy-efficient systems on Earth was the primary to develop a touchscreen WiFi-enabled thermostat and the first solar-powered HVAC system. So while consumers’ long-held perception is that an a/c system is the most energy-consuming machine in a house, we’re changing it to become the most valuable machine in the modern, comfortable home.
