Grupo Gallegos breaks Ground in Huntington Beach.

Grupo Gallegos has broken new ground not only in headquarter relocation.

John Gallegos, compares his team to the big cats at a zoo: “Without breathing room and space to roam, their natural talents are unable to reach full potential.” As a result, the atmosphere created at Grupo Gallegos is one liberated from the more traditional stiff business environment, but instead exhibits a casual air, with a corresponding casual dress code. The result: energy is instead spent on innovation, which has made Grupo Gallegos the most rewarded advertising agency for the Hispanic market and a recession success story. The Hispanic market is the fastest growing consumer market in the US, placing Grupo Gallegos at the forefront of a competitive new advertising challenge.

“As we outgrew our previous offices, I realized the need to find a space that would allow us to grow well into the future. Finding this building gave me the opportunity to start from scratch and create an environment that reflected what has made us successful: collaboration, where every person in every department is a part of the creative process,” says Gallegos. “Traditional ad agencies are divided by offices and floors that don’t allow employees to experience all parts of the process. And that is counter to how we operate.”

The new office contains a sports court, gym, batting cage, and an entire room devoted to storing surfboards, wetsuits, and beach cruisers. Lockers and shower rooms are provided to refresh employees after a lunch spent enjoying any number of these activities. The new space also houses a ping-pong and sofa lounge, espresso break room, and an outdoor terrace.
