ABOUT USÌý

Founded in 1983, Goodby Silverstein & Partners is a full-service advertising agency whose mission is to create experiences that reach millions and even billions but seem to speak only to you. We call this effect mass intimacy. The smarter, braver work that results from this approach brings people closer to our clients’ businesses, gets them to care, and urges them to take action. Because great work is only great if it reaps results.Ìý

We’re cultivating a place where people do their very best work—work that moves people and reshapes culture. To that end, our staff and our work need to reflect the world around us. It’s why we look for interesting talent in unexpected places; why we honor diversity we can see, and diversity we can’t see; and why we search out perspectives and experiences that might be missing here. Diversity at GS&P means that inclusivity and equity must be present here every day, in everything we do. We’re making big strides toward these goals and are constantly excited by the difference it all makes.Ìý
