NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 15, 2025 - Employee-owned, fully integrated agency GS&F today debuted the look and feel of its new brand identity, inspired by its boundary-defying and provocative approach to work with challenger clients looking to take a fight to their categories. Simultaneously, the organization announced that it has been appointed agency of record (AOR) for Guthrie's, the rapidly growing fast-casual franchise and original chicken finger restaurant.
Embracing its bold new positioning and a growing list of new client partners, GS&F is ushering in a fresh chapter of breakthrough strategic partnership and creative innovation.
