Meet Kevin Griffin

Kevin graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in Theatre. After starting his career in local news and the nonprofit world, he found himself in the land of start-ups, where he developed marketing and communications strategies, videos, and content that helped define voices, effectively convey company values and culture, and guide organizations to their next iteration.

Before joining GMP, Kevin worked as a consultant for Griffin & Company alongside his husband, Sam, and their incredibly lazy “assistant” Louis, the French Bulldog. As Kevin says, “Louis cannot balance a checkbook, but he announces 5:00 daily by snoring and staring deeply into your soul.” At Griffin & Company, he created or refreshed foundational messaging and branding for companies at every growth stage.

Before Griffin & Company, he was the Director of External Communications at Workiva, a B2B tech company. While there, Kevin built the public relations program and company newsroom, developing and executing content and communications campaigns for the organization’s most important moments. These included the headquarters grand opening, corporate name change, a $100 million IPO (and award-winning roadshow video), over 300 technology, product, customer, and partner news announcements, and the company’s first four major acquisitions.

No topic is too large, no story is too small, and few causes are too unworthy for Kevin to help communicate and elevate.
