Today marked a major moment for our community, the African-American Leadership Conference. groundUp is proud that our CEO served as Chair, leading with heart, vision, and a commitment to elevating Black leadership in Northwest Ohio.

From planning sessions to creative strategy to full conference ex*****on. Partnerships like our work with United Way, the African-American Leadership Council, and Owen Community College remind us what can happen when organizations come together with purpose.

A special shout-out to Jon Dorcely for his guidance, collaboration, and unwavering support. This is how we build leaders. This is how we build community.

Growing your business starts behind the scenes. Every successful company needs a strong back office and that includes payroll.

Taking care of your team is the foundation of sustainable growth, because when your people are supported, your business thrives. Toledo is on the rise, and as small business owners, it’s up to us to build opportunities, create jobs, and strengthen our community.

I’m excited to share that groundUp Creative Agency has partnered with ADP to offer discounted payroll rates for small businesses referred through us.
If you’re ready to scale and streamline your business while cutting costs on payroll message us to get started.

This couple came to us after trying everything to advertise their business without success. Through our brand audit, we found they skipped the most important step—branding.

Branding is your story, your ‘why,’ and what sets you apart. Marketing spreads that story. Advertising amplifies it.
They’re now walking away with a full strategy plan, and we’re excited to welcome them as our newest GroundUp clients—ready to grow their business the right way.

At GroundUp, we help you start with the foundation so your growth is lasting. Ready to build with us?

A lot of people invest in a website, but don’t use it to its fullest potential. Your website isn’t just a digital business card it’s a platform to grow your brand, capture leads, sell products, build relationships, and position yourself as the go-to in your industry.

Growth comes when you:
• Keep your content fresh and relevant
• Optimize for search engines (SEO)
• Add calls-to-action that guide visitors toward next steps
• Integrate tools like email marketing, booking systems, or e-commerce
• Use analytics to understand what’s working and what’s not

At groundUp, we don’t just build websites we help you grow with them. From design to strategy to ongoing updates, we become your partner in turning your site into a true business asset.
