At GFM, we’ve been sharing uplifting stories and securing earned media coverage for 25 years. And, as it turns out, Bennett Artman has been around for all 25 of them. Bennett is the son of one of our own earned media superstars, Wendy Artman, and he just landed a pretty great media hit of his own.

Known online as Bennett McFresh, Bennett and his feed were just featured in The New York Times. Not for drama or rage bait, but for creating the kind of content that actually makes people feel good, like biking, grilling, music and friends around a fire. This trend is called "hopecore," and Bennett's been living it on camera all summer.

We’re so proud of him, and of Wendy, who clearly did something right. 💛

Denver friends — Denver Rescue Mission needs volunteers at its 48th Avenue Center this summer.

Several meal prep and meal service shifts still have no volunteers signed up, and these meals simply don’t happen without people stepping in to help.

This is an easy and meaningful way to give back as a small group with family, friends or coworkers. An hour of your time can help provide a warm meal and a welcoming experience for guests who need it.

If you’re able to help in the coming days, please consider signing up through Denver Rescue Mission. Our team loves doing this and we think you will as well!

At the 2026 Global Summit in Tokyo, GroundFloor Media was named the Americas Agency of the Year by PROI Worldwide, recognizing top-performing agencies for exceptional business growth, innovative entrepreneurial spirit and active contributions to the PROI network.

To be chosen by a global network made up of some of the smartest, most strategic and most collaborative firms in our industry is something we don’t take lightly.

This moment belongs to so many people. Huge thanks to the PROI community for the partnership, trust and friendships that continue to make this collective so special. And to our clients and GFM team, thank you for bringing care, creativity and hustle to this work every single day. We’re lucky to do it alongside you.

Going behind the scenes at Denver7!

As a marketing and communications agency, we usually work from the other side of the camera, crafting stories, pitching media and strategizing campaigns. That's why touring Denver 7 was so meaningful for our team!

Kristin Stork, director of strategic partnerships, gave us an inside look at the broadcast newsroom. We sat at the anchor desk alongside chief meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo and traffic expert Jayson Luber and experienced the green screen.

Seeing the pace, precision and teamwork behind every broadcast deepens our appreciation for the journalists we collaborate with and makes us better at what we do.

Thank you, Denver 7, for the warm welcome!

We just became a Foster Friendly Workplace. 💚

This pledge doesn't change who we are. It just puts words to what we've already known. Taking care of families and youth isn't extra, it's essential.

We're honored to join other organizations proving that workplaces can be compassionate, supportive spaces where people actually thrive.
