Calvin Bonifacio / Lead Grasp

EMPOWER WITH INTENSITY

Around here it’s a two-way street. We empower you and you empower us. It’s the way relationships should be.
Our greatest satisfaction is the success that we can bring to your small business. It’s why we come to work every day. Imagine headbands, coffee and keyboards. We work with intensity to deliver the results that you expect.
We know the clock is ticking. Running a small business is stressful. You don’t have money to waste,
which is why we work with intensity day in and day out.

 INTENTIONAL & ACCOUNTABLE

We do everything with intentionality. It keeps us focused. Intentionally means that we have purpose,
and our purpose is you. We don’t cry over spilled milk. We clean it up and get back to work.
Bad days happen, but it’s how you respond to them that matters most.

 VALUE

As innovators, it’s our responsibility to see additional opportunities for your business.
Our digital marketing services continually evolve, so there’s always more that can be done.
We’ll figuratively bend over backwards to bring more opportunity to your business.
The foundation of any relationship is effective communication. You can call us whenever you’d like.
We have plenty of minutes. We’ll tell you exactly what we’re doing for your business. It’s part of our transparency.

Greg Guzman / G-Media 

I served as an Army medic during the Reagan years. My public media career now spans more than 20 years. Most of my broadcast career was spent on air and being a corporate marketing representative. At the core, I helped raise money from the business sector to support public radio and television.

As technology changed the delivery of content, I took great interest in all things internet including social media and search engine optimization. After speaking with many of my radio clients, I noticed there was a real need to assist small businesses with navigating the information superhighway.

Many of my clients became my mentors and they encouraged me to start my own business. That business became Greg Guzman Media, LLC which is now doing business as G-Media Interactive.

Greg Guzman Media, LLC began in January 1, 2012 with the idea to help businesses successfully negotiate the ever evolving landscape of digital media.

Bobby Bowden / FSU-Former Head Coach

 20160914_103338

Robert Cleckler Bowden (born November 8, 1929) is a retired American football coach. He coached the Florida State Seminoles football team from the 1976 to 2009 seasons. During his time at Florida State, Bowden led FSU to an Associated Press and Coaches Poll National Title in 1993 and a BCS National Championship in 1999, as well as twelve Atlantic Coast Conference championships since FSU joined the conference in 1991. After a difficult 2009 season and amid questioning fans, Bowden stepped down, just weeks after his 80th birthday. But he was allowed to make his final coaching appearance in the 2010 Gator Bowl game on January 1, 2010, with a 33–21 victory over his former program, West Virginia.

On the day of March 6, 2009 NCAA ruling requiring Florida State to “vacate wins for any games in which an ineligible player participated,” threatened to remove as many as 14 of Bowden’s wins from the 2006 and 2007 seasons in relation to an academic scandal. Florida State appealed the ruling,[1][2][3] but the NCAA upheld it on January 5, 2010.[4] Upon final investigation by Florida State University it was determined that Bowden was to vacate 12 wins,[5] bringing his final career record to 377–129–4.

Little did I know what was in store and the impact it would have on my future.My water broke unexpectedly at 21 weeks, and I was admitted to the hospital in pre-term labor. I was on bedrest for 20 days before my daughter was delivered by emergency C-section at 23 weeks and 4 days gestation. She weighed 1lb., 2.7oz at birth and was rushed to the NICU, where she stayed for 120 days before coming home. Our NICU journey inspired me to want to make a difference so that no other family would have to experience the trauma of having a sick baby.
