Marketing firm becomes known as Wilkin Guge
CLAREMONT, CA-The Wilkin Group, Inc. announced today that Gail Guge was named a managing partner in the firm. The agency, listed as one of the top ten advertising and public relations agencies in the Inland Empire, has been renamed Wilkin Guge Marketing.
“Strategic planning is critical to the success of our clients and we want to communicate through our name change the equal importance of strategic planning with creative design,” stated Andrew Wilkin, managing partner and creative director. “We believe this dynamic combination allows us to offer clients a level of service and expertise in branding unparalleled in this area.”

In addition to the new partnership and new name, the agency also unveiled its new expanded location in Claremont at 651 Wharton Drive; launched its new website at www.wilkinguge.com; and introduced a new proprietary branding process called Brandus Operandi™.
“Through years of successfully creating brands that work, we have developed this proprietary ten-step process for establishing and operating a brand,” explains Guge, managing partner and strategist. “Building a solid brand and recognition level for your company takes more than a logo or a series of ads. It requires a comprehensive approach and a focused strategy.”
