Gragg named Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist
Greg Gragg, founder and CEO of Gragg Advertising, has been honored as a finalist in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year program. This follows an impressive year at Gragg where the company saw immense growth.
This year, Gragg’s savvy business, which has managed to grow in a time when many marketing budgets were being cut, has been recognized as a strong business in Kansas City. From being named one of the top ten small businesses in Kansas City to the most recent honor of Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, Gragg is honored to be considered for these prestigious awards.
Gragg is in the running to win the Midwest Entrepreneur of the Year award along with 29 other entrepreneurs in the region. These entrepreneurs from Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas have shown the qualities necessary to develop thriving companies within their communities. The winner will be announced June 7 in Overland Park. If named Midwest Entrepreneur of the Year, Gragg will go on to compete in the National Entrepreneur of the Year program, which will be named in November.
