What GUT does

GUT is an independent creative advertising agency founded in 2018 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. It provides full-service creative, brand strategy, and campaign development for major consumer brands across CPG, beverages, gaming, technology, food delivery, insurance, automotive, and e-commerce verticals. The agency's operating model is project- and retainer-based professional services, with client acquisition driven by competitive pitches and direct enterprise relationships; revenue is not publicly disclosed.

The agency's core offering centers on culturally resonant creative campaigns — including FIFA World Cup activations for AB InBev, brand work for Kraft Heinz, Cheetos, DoorDash, Mercado Livre, Corona, Tim Hortons, RIMOWA, Progressive, ASICS, and gaming clients such as Turtle Beach and Diablo. Following its November 2023 acquisition by Globant (NYSE: GLOB), GUT's capabilities expanded to include AI-enabled and digital marketing services, with Globant consolidating all of its marketing and advertising units under the GUT Network brand.

GUT operates 13 offices across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific (Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Bogotá, Amsterdam, Madrid, Copenhagen, Singapore), supported by a headcount of 501–1,000 employees. Leadership includes Global CEO Andrea Diquez (25+ years of industry experience; 2026 NYF Advertising Awards Executive Jury President) and founders Gaston Bigio and Lucas Bongioanni, alongside a distributed team of chief creative officers and strategy leads. The agency ranked #1 in WARC's 2025 Independent Network ranking for campaign effectiveness.
