About

 

At GillespieHall, our PR, Marketing and Social Media firm in Delaware and Philly, we know every successful brand is propelled by compelling storytelling. And that’s what we do. Tell your story effectively.

 

Creating awareness and developing loyal brand advocates starts with understanding the target audiences. The GH team produces inspiring work that consistently delivers measurable results. Successfully integrating all involved communication channels, we increase awareness and change behaviors.

 

Our business is to grow yours.

 

Our holding company, BGP Publicity, was founded in 1996 and GillespieHall opened for business in 2002 as a PR and marketing firm with a focus on healthcare. Dynamic agency Partner Bridget Paverd, a savvy global PR practitioner and strategist, hand-crafted the beginnings of GillespieHall and in 2006 (the year Facebook started) our agency formed a digital marketing department.

 

Teamwork at GillespieHall

 

We’ve earned success and international awards because our diverse team brings varied talents and experience to the table. We represent three generations, eight business disciplines and five continents—we even speak seven languages—and we work together on every account:

​

Keeping It Confidential

 

At GH, client confidentiality is vitally important. We want our clients to be in the spotlight, not our firm. As we like to put it, “We prefer to have your back instead of being out front.” As your undetectable “secret weapon,” we keep our client relationships absolutely confidential—only with our clients’ permission do we provide referrals for prospective GH clients. 

 

Our hard-working team of Public Relations professionals, sociologists, digital marketing strategists and creative content designers capture the attention of our clients’ target audience and influence their actions by using:

 

• Social Media Management

• Websites

• Community Outreach

• Media Relations

• Crisis Management

• Corporate Communications

• Marketing Plans

• New Business and Product Launches

• Brand Development

• Human Resource Initiatives

“GillespieHall approaches their publicity work in a way that turns it on its head, but only when necessary, and the team instinctively knows when it needs this. Smart thinking. Smart execution.”

Heather Bowen, Creative Executive Director, Baker Street Agency

​

“GillespieHall helped develop my reputation as a strong community and industry leader. A more robust LinkedIn profile, media training and speechwriting services helped bring me to that next level.”

Matthew S., Business Owner, Service Industry, Wilmington, Delaware

​

“We hired GillespieHall to assist us to transition an existing D.C. school into an entirely new D.C. Charter School. GH created our visual brand which included everything from creating a vision and mission statement, new logo and tag line, to designing and expediting signage, school collaterals, and school uniforms. GH was involved in every detail of launching and sustaining the new school; they designed a new website; designed and implemented a social media strategy around recruiting students and keeping parents informed. CTA exceeded enrollment goals by almost 30% the first year we opened. We attribute this largely to the social media strategy designed and managed by GH.”

Dr. L. Henderson, Executive Director, Cedar Tree Academy Public Charter School

​

“We hired GillespieHall to completely rebrand our firm. Their attention to detail is unprecedented. Under Bridget Paverd’s leadership, the GH team misses nothing. GH understood our need for unified and compatible image and messaging. They have taught us that a brand is both a discipline and an asset. We always thought we were a remarkable company – now, after GH’s branding campaign, everyone knows we are a remarkable company!"

John Hartnett, CEO, Capital and Worth

​

“Working with the GillespieHall team is a pleasure. They delivered a web product that surpassed our expectations: well designed, uncluttered, elegant, powerful, on time and on budget. Their digital team leaves nothing to chance. We could not be more pleased.”

Robert Wilk, VP, ICT

​

“GillespieHall measures every outcome from every communication platform and provides us with data in an easily digestible console—data I share with my board and funders on a monthly basis."

Dr. Lynn Fahey, CEO, Brandywine Counseling and Community Services
