Drawing on her extensive background in journalism and public relations Laura Love founded GroundFloor Media from her unfinished basement in Boulder Colo. in 2001. During the downturn in the dot-com era she recognized the opportunity to hire seasoned talent exclusively to serve clients as a peer-driven model. With experienced team members owning all strategic and tactical execution for clients our story unfolds.
After several years of growth Laura moved the agency to Denver and joined forces with Ramonna Robinson PR and crisis communication veteran to expand the agencys footprint in 2005. Serving as managing partner and president Ramonna has spent more than a decade establishing a culture of innovation and collaboration at the local national and global levels.
A spirit of giving back to the community and being of service to others is a core belief of our team. Laura and Ramonna expanded on a company history of charitable giving and formed the Get Grounded Foundation in 2015. To date our 501(c)(3) has given more than $100000 in cash grants to qualified nonprofits that offer innovative or entrepreneurial programs that directly support the healthy development of at-risk youth in the Denver Metro Area. Team members also regularly participate in volunteer opportunities and community events as part of our Get Grounded Volunteer Program.
