Gillespie Group is a full service ad agency but we enjoy a reputation as one of the region's best media buying firms. For almost 25 years, we've traded on our skills as negotiators and our relationships with the media to innovate some of the most effective and memorable campaigns around. We are unique in that, as an agency, we've grown from the sales side of the business. This vantage point allows us to deliver more intensely negotiated media buys because we understand that media is a commodity and we know how it is sold. Our twenty-two year relationship with the Quality Plus Ford Dealers is a testament to our ability to consistently deliver the best media plans in the region.

On this website, visitors can see some of the impressive creative we've executed over the years. But it is difficult to "show" media buying. Suffice to say, our skills in this discipline are second to none. We handle tens of millions of dollars of media billings. In addition to managing the media for our full service clients, Gillespie Group places the media for local advertisers like myPHL17 and Peter Nero and the Philly POPS to name a few.

Our team of media managers supervise the entire planning, negotiating and buying process. They use the latest and most powerful media buying software and research tools. More importantly, our media managers provide stewardship over our clients' budgets as if it were their own money.

Gillespie Group is skilled at buying all forms of media from TV to radio, print, out-of-home and online. Gillespie Group handles (and has handled) clients in the top one hundred markets in the U.S. And, we are on the forefront of innovative approaches to advertising, developing aggressive street campaigns and other guerilla tactics.

If you want each media spent to work harder than the one that came before it, give us a call.
