London, ON – Jim Gruber, one of London region’s best known and most respected advertising professionals, has added his multi-faceted talents to the communications team at Marketing Strategies & Solutions.
Robert Adeland, President of Marketing Strategies & Solutions, announced recently that Gruber has joined the firm as Account Director and Senior Consultant.
“Jim brings us an extensive portfolio in hard goods distribution as well as science-based products and services – an ideal complement to our focus on B2B marketing,” Adeland said. “He has an excellent grasp of how to leverage client projects to do more with less through integrated strategies and powerful branding.”
A lifelong Londoner, Gruber entered the advertising industry immediately following his education as a graphic designer, and quickly gravitated into account management with top creative agencies including Design Associates and Omnibus Communications. For many years, Gruber filled account service and production management duties for both Canadian and U.S.-based clients with the MC Group of Companies, which led to his most recent posting as the lead Account Director for the London office of Ogilvy One Worldwide.
Gruber first earned his position in account management and strategic planning with leading national brands in building products and home improvement. In recent years, he expanded his experience in specialized marketing programs in the agriculture, healthcare and medical devices sectors. His client list includes many familiar household names such as Petro-Canada, Alcan, Pro Hardware and Johnson & Johnson. Jim has also contributed to the marketing success of local London operations ranging from Canada Trust and McCormick Foods to Sunshine Dreams for Kids.
“Versatility is essential for smaller agencies like ours to respond to the needs of clients effectively,” Adeland continued. “Jim Gruber provides a wonderful balance of strategic planning, creative vision and project management. His insight into building strong distribution networks and customer relationships is unparalleled. We look forward to introducing Jim to our current clients as well as his previous colleagues throughout the region.”
