About Us

GRO Marketing provide expert marketing solutions to help your business grow. We know how important it is to have a strong brand and online presence in 2020.

This is where our story started...

Did you know?

We're a digital marketing agency and SEO company based in Hull, partnering with brands nationally to boost their online presence.

Our Story

The Beginning

A few years ago, our sister company Grosvenor Group were stuck in a ‘marketing rut’. They thought they’d saturated their market after over 25 years of sales. Little did they know what was to come next.

Rebranding

After realising that Britain’s largest high street retail electronics company wouldn’t work with them as they appeared too small online, the Directors decided to take action. This resulted in them working alongside our current Marketing Director, Lisa Harvey, on a full re-brand, new website and full marketing campaign to drive traffic to that site.

Long Story Short

Long story short, the electronics company approached them again, now realising that their online presence was a truer reflection of the company and decided to work with them. They now supply a range of products to them and this wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t updated their online identity.

The New Company

The Directors loved the marketing and business growth so much that they decided to set up a company with Lisa, GRO Marketing. Lisa now leads the marketing team using her years of experience in the industry and is backed up by a growing digital team.

Welcoming the Team

With our head office based in Hull, we are now thriving and providing marketing solutions for our partners all over the UK. There are definitely exciting times ahead for team GRO, keep up with all of our latest news here and follow us on social.
