A Glasgow digital marketing agency has moved into bigger premises after a series of business wins in the US and Scotland.
GRA, which was founded as Guy Robertson Advertising in 1986, declared the switch to an office in the Park area of the city will provide it with space to expand its growing team.
The business today is run by its founder’s daughter Jemma Robertson, and boasts a client base including Coatbridge-based confectionery manufacturer Lees of Scotland, timber specialist Fleming and Glasgow independent school, The High School of Glasgow.

Ms Robertson said: “We have half of the top floor in our new premises and 1,200 square feet of space, compared to just 300 sq ft in our old office, so our expanding team now have greater space in a more comfortable, more productive working environment.
“In addition, we have formal meeting space and a place for the team to breakout and brainstorm new creative ideas. It’s very exciting.”
GRA noted that while Scotland continues to be the company’s dominant market, its move into the US had opened new opportunities, as part of a longer-term strategy to taken on more big-brand business. The new office space and business wins are expected to further enhance turnover at the firm, which has increased 75% this year.
GRA said it has grown its revenues by around 250% and its profits by 50% over the last three years, with providing specific figures.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
