Strategy

We strengthen Golub & Company’s corporate brand as a trusted investment and development partner through industry media relations, cultivating speaking opportunities, and ghostwriting executive communications and thought leadership. Akrete pros promote development-related and corporate milestones to relevant national, local and trade media through thematic pitches and narrative press materials. We also perform media training regularly for Golub property managers and assist with new market entry media relations and communications.

Results

Our efforts have established Golub as an industry thought leader, trusted co-investor, and an admired family business with a thoughtful approach to succession and employee advancement. On the media front, our integrated program has resulted in significant and repeated coverage in leading Chicago publications and broadcast, as well key national industry news sources such as The Wall Street Journal, GlobeSt, Real Deal and Bisnow. Further bolstering the company’s reputation, Akrete has helped secure or promote recognitions including: the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Corporate Award, Loyola University’s Illinois Family Business of the Year, Crain’s Chicago Business “Notable Women in CRE,” Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate, and Crain’s Chicago Business “Best Places to Work in Chicago 2019.”
