Welcome to gkv, marketing communications for Challenger Brands.

We are celebrating 26 years of creating advertising, direct marketing, branding and public relations campaigns that have succeeded in the marketplace and drawn acclaim from our industry. Our success is rooted in our ability to create and execute breakthrough, thought-leader strategies for brands that are out-spent in their categories, yet succeed by challenging the category status quo.

gkv was founded in 1981. We are Maryland's largest marketing communications firm serving local, regional, national and international clients drawn from travel and tourism, consumer goods, financial services, high tech, B2B, entertainment, hospitality, state government, health care, education, multi-outlet retailers, the food industry, and biotech.

We have grown organically with clients and through acquisitions. Today our capabilities include all disciplines necessary to build a client's business and brand.

gkv is located in the Tide Point complex in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. We're close to BWI, Amtrak's Penn Station, lodging, and all of Baltimore's downtown attractions, including Ravens' Stadium and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Regrettably for the Orioles, none of us can hit.
